Genie Out of the Bottle
from
Cosmic Tales of Adventure II

The early days of space travel Ч the tragic deaths, the explorers
who disappeared without a trace, the many heroismsЧ were now
relegated to a few pages in history textbooks. The Solar System,
from Mercury out to the cometary Oort cloud, was as thoroughly
domesticated and familiar as anyoneТs back yard. But other
frontiers still beckoned, as distant as the farthest stars themselves,
and humankind swarmed out across the galaxy at speeds many
times that of light, but still only an amoeboid crawl in comparison to
the vast breadth of the galaxy. And once again the statement by a
largely-forgotten 20th century scientist was proven true: the
universe is not only stranger than we imagineЧit is stranger than
we can imagine. Stories of interstellar voyagers confronting the
infinite by: Gregory Benford, Eric Flint & Dave Freer, James P.
Hogan, Debra Doyle & James MacDonald . . . and more.
