Product Description

Book Description

On July 20, 1969, the United States astronauts landed on the moon. To commemorate the 30th anniversary of that historic event, many of the top writers in the science fiction field have agreed to write individual stories centered on the moon. Included, as well, is an introduction by noted science fiction and science fact writer and editor Ben Bova.


Ingram

On July 30, 1969, people around the world were glued to their TV sets to watch the "Apollo" moon landing. To celebrate the 30th anniversary, some of today's finest science-fiction writers--including Brian Aldiss, Alan Dean Foster, Ian McDonald, Robert Scheckley and Gene Wolfe--have created original lunar tales to send the imagination soaring.

3.0 out of 5 stars Fair Shot, May 14 2002
By ED Detetcheverrie "Q" (East Coast, USA) - See all my reviews
I just finished Moon Shots. It's an intriguing selection of fiction ranging from the more hard-core scientific to light fantasy, each story, of course, dealing in some fashion with the Moon. I read collections like these as introductions to writers I may not have otherwise heard about, and while some of the stories appealed to me more than others, overall I found this book pleasant reading late at night just before falling asleep... It's a great little book for someone whose tastes in fiction are varied and who may not have time to sit down through an entire novel. Good for a traveler or student with some interest or fascination with Luna.

2.0 out of 5 stars Best for only those who enjoy short story anthologies, Oct 7 2000
By A Customer
After a few chapters, it became a chore to finish this book. I prefer hard sci fi novels, and I only found about a third of these short stories to be interesting. Many of the stories had too much fantasy for my tastes. Of the few stories that I did enjoy such as those by Baxter and McAuley, they really were too short on details and elaboration, but I did get a taste of the authors' styles and I think it is worthwhile to see what other novels they may have written.
