An impressive joint project, this outstanding new anthology brings the best of Chinese and English science fiction in a mediation on the theme of Exploration in Space. New, emerging, established and much-lauded writers from both cultures are brought together to demonstrate that technology and humanity when they work together bring challenges, joy and benefits to all of humankind. From Baoshu comes 'A Trip to the End', from Allen Stroud 'The First', from He Xi 'Never Meet Again in Life', from Amdi Silvestri 'A Minuet of Corpses' and under the guiding eye of Patrick Parrinder (President of the H.G. Wells society) and Yao Haijun (celebrated editor of Science Fiction World in China) fifteen authors create a series of worlds which will enthral and entertain.

Patrick grew up in Kent, not far from Wells's birthplace in Bromley. He is an Emeritus Professor of English at the University of Reading. Yao Haijun (Honorary editor, Chinese language writers) is deputy Director-in-Chief of Science Fiction World, President of Chengdu Science Fiction Association, and Co-founder of Chinese Science Fiction Nebula Award.
