Science fiction is a worldwide literature, and no one knows it better than David G Hartwell. Over the years Hartwell has produced a number of anthologies, ranging through the decades and across the globe to document science fiction's scope of influence - and has introduced American audiences to writers beyond their own literary borders.
Here is a showcase of some of the most original voices in SF. It includes stories from well-known practitioners of the genre as well as the hottest new writers from the land down under. For both avid followers of Australian SF and genre readers who have not yet discovered our southern stars, 'Centaurus' is an anthology no SF fan will want to miss.
