Summary

"One small step for a man, one giant leap for mankind". Those were Neil Armstrong's immortal words when he became the first human being to step onto another world. Edge of Infinity is an exhilarating new hard SF anthology that looks at the next giant leap for humankind: the leap from our home world out into the Solar System. From the slow turning, eccentric inferno of Mercury to the farthest chunks of ice and rock skimming our heliosphere, every inch of our Solar System is the stage for the greatest adventure in humanity's history. Set to feature stories by Daniel Abraham & Ty Franck, Stephen Baxter, Elizabeth Bear, Pat Cadigan, Peter F. Hamilton, Gwyneth Jones, Paul McAuley, Sandra McDonald, An Owomoyela, Hannu Rajaniemi, Alastair Reynolds, Bruce Sterling, Peter Watts, and Walter Jon Williams, Edge of Infinity is hard SF adventure at its best and most exhilarating.
