Going For Infinity

About this book

Going for Infinity is a career-spanning retrospective from Poul Anderson, one of the great names of science fiction and fantasy. Gathered here are stories from across fifty years of writing, from classic Astounding tales of the 1950s to later work published in The Magazine of Fantasy and Science Fiction and Analog. The collection includes celebrated pieces such as The Saturn Game, Goat Song, The Queen of Air and Darkness, Journey's End, The Master Key and The Horn of Time the Hunter. It also offers the full-length version of the fantasy novel Three Hearts and Three Lions and the novella A Midsummer Tempest, alongside tales of knights, starfarers, alien worlds and uncanny shadows. What sets the book apart is that Anderson introduces the stories himself. In a personal introduction and in notes on their origins, he shares his experience of the genre over some sixty years: as a reader, as a writer, and as an acquaintance and friend of many of the people who shaped it. The result is part fiction anthology, part insider's memoir of the field. Whether you already admire Anderson's work or are looking for a rich starting point, this large volume of nearly 180,000 words offers mind-opening ideas, narrative energy and a high literary standard.
