The rich space opera tradition, extending from the off-world voyages of Verne and Wells to this galaxy-embracing anthology, is arguably sf's most prolific subgenre. Veteran anthologist Dozois and co-editor Strahan present some of the newest boundary-stretching variations on the category's many themes.
