This new anthology of 16 original stories by some of science fiction’s best writers --- edited by #1 New York Times bestselling author George R. R. Martin and award-winning editor Gardner Dozois --- turns back the clock to a more innocent time, before the hard-won knowledge of science vanquished the infinite possibilities of the imagination. Travel back in time to a planet that never was but should have been: a young, rain-drenched world of fabulous monsters and seductive mysteries.

GAME OF THRONES mastermind Martin joins with award-winning editor Dozois to curate this collection of 15 all-original sf stories that hark back to the genre’s golden age, when works like Ray Bradbury’s THE MARTIAN CHRONICLES embodied a fascination with the interplanetary colonization and particularly the idea of ancient, doomed life on the red planet.
