Science Fiction Travel Stories from the Lonely Planet Journeys series.
Like a cyborg and a spaceship, like an explorer and a time machine, travel and science fiction have always gone together. 'Not the Only Planet' is a unique collection of stories about travelling both ends of the space-time continuum by internationally celebrated science fiction writers.
A family takes a package tour to the Crucifixion; astronauts on Mars confront the difficulty of reporting on the unimaginable; and a phrasebook for tourists offers a hilariously skewed vision of travel to come. Hi-tech galaxies, tattered futures, the shiveringly strange and the uncomfortably familiar: when every corner of our current world is thoroughly described in guidebook after guidebook, 'Not the Only Planet' offers a set of exotic postcards from worlds that don't exist yet.
