Synopsis
In 1994, Tor Books published Northern Stars, a compendium of Canadian science fiction which demonstrated beyond a shadow of a doubt that country's influence on the genre. Now award-winning anthologist David G. Hartwell and noted writer and critic Glenn Grant bring us a second volume of superlative speculative fiction with an entirely new lineup of authors.Northern Suns is an adventurous mix of visionary futures, otherworldly fantasies, and strange histories that might have been, from a dazzling combination of world-renowned masters and bright new lights. Including work from Margaret Atwood, Robertson Davies, W.P. Kinsella, Geoff Ryman, John Clute, Scott Mackay, Nancy Kilpatrick, and sixteen others, Northern Suns is an anthology of great SF from the Great White North.
