Visual Journeys: A Tribute to Space Artists

by Eric T. Reynolds (editor), Tobias S. Buckell, Michael A. Burstein

Fiction and Visual Journey through the clouds of Jupiter, across the frozen wastes of a planetesimal in a distant star's Kuiper Belt, beneath a far off planet's galaxy-filled sky, over the rocky bluffs of Mars. Planets, stars, nebulae. Desolate landscapes, robots, a giant artificial menace. Fascinating depictions from space, imagined by great artists of today and yesterday. Tales set in those universes as told by some of SF's greatest authors. It's a tribute to those who practice and those who imagine. Full color plates of space art accompany tales of fantastic fiction.

Overall, I really liked 6/11 stories, but even the ones that didn't stick with me, I enjoyed on some level. The art is the best thing about this anthology, simply because it was so cool to see the images that inspired the stories that I read. I think if you enjoy SF and are looking for that sense of wonder that some complain is absent from the genre, you should definitely check this anthology out.[return][return]For the full review, which contains a story-by-story reaction, please click here: http://calico-reaction.livejournal.co...

What a great idea for an anthology: The authors select some of their favorite pieces of astro-art and write a story that "literates" it - as opposed to the typical process of hiring artists to illustrate stories. Wonderful stories and fine art; check it out. Contains one of my favorites pieces of art, by one of my favorite artists: Ron Miller.
