An impressive joint project, this outstanding new anthology brings the best of Chinese and English-language 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 Bao Shu 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) thirteen authors create a series of worlds which will enthral and entertain.

Patrick Parrinder (Consulting Editor, English language writers) is President of the H.G. Wells Society and has written many books on Wells and science fiction, including Shadows of the Future which won the 1996 University of California Eaton Award. He is also the author of Utopian Literature and Science (2015), and General Editor of the 12-volume Oxford History of the Novel in English. 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. He founded China's first science fiction fanzine Nebula in 1988 and joined Science Fiction World in 1998. He discovered many new writers, initiating the ‘Science Fiction Vision Project’ which launched the internationally bestselling ‘Three-Body’ series. He has also won the Chinese Science Fiction Nebula Award for Best Editor.
