Mission: Tomorrow (BAEN), by Jack McDevitt, Mike Resnick, Ben Bova, Brenda Cooper, Michael F. Flynn, Sarah A. Hoyt, James E. Gunn, Robin Wayne Bailey, Jack Skillingstead Review "This collection will appeal to a wide range of readers, who will appreciate the diversity of stories from such writers as Jack McDevitt, Alex Shvartsman, Brenda Cooper, Sarah A. Hoyt, Mike Resnick, and more. With the release of The Martian starring Matt Damon and the soon-to-be-televised series based on James S.A. Corey's "Expanse" space operas, this anthology serves as a solid introduction to a classic genre."--Library Journal"These 19 often satirical, sometimes hopeful stories depict a variety of near futures...Editor Schmidt adds Grandmasters to a mix of newer and established names and balances the tragic with the humorous." -- Publisher's Weekly "There's a lot of variety here...a nice, meaty anthology ofspace travel tales that has something for everyone." = Don Sakers, Analog"Mission: Tomorrow is an anthology that explicitly places itself near SF's core - straightforward stories set in the near future, most focusing on Solar System exploration - and it's quite successful, with a set of a consistently entertaining stories." -- Rich Horton, LocusMission: Tomorrow is a novel-length collection of short stories compiled by Bryan Thomas Schmidt, which center on the continuing theme of developments in space exploration. Toeing that interesting line where science fiction often becomes science fact, these nineteen very different but equally accomplished tales take the reader on a journey through a very realistic future where humans continue to explore and capitalize on space travel. Both global and political in its viewpoint, the anthology champions human endeavour, but looks at both the light and dark sides of a universe of possibilities. Schmidt's selection and editing of the collection allows the stories to flow in a linear progression, guiding the reader from the farthest stars to the strange terrain of planets beneath our feet.I wish I had room to discuss all of the stories in this fine collection. Bryan Thomas Schmidt has done a superb job in selecting equally balanced tales from highly talented writers who really abide by the traditional rules of science fiction. I quite often felt as though I was reading Asimov whilst enjoying this immense volume, and can offer no greater compliment than that. For me, the standout story came from Jaleta Clegg - The Ultimate Space Race - in which the familiar demons of our 'reality' obsessed contemporary world extend out into space travel to create a massive commercial and social nightmare. I particularly enjoyed meeting so many interesting and original characters throughout Mission: Tomorrow, as well as exploring the human perspective of space through many different perspectives. Hard core science fiction fans must read this book. -- Reviewed by K.C. Finn for Readers' Favorite

Entertaining collection of science fiction stories by a remarkable collection of writers By Louise Marley In this outstanding collection of stories, the narratives begin at the outer edge of the solar system and move inward through the fascinating and difficult landscape of planets and moons and asteroids. This is a group of some of today's best science fiction writers, imagining how humans might manage the exploration and even, in some cases, the development and monetization of space. In fact, the privatization of space exploration is a recurring theme in this anthology.All the stories are good, but a few stand out to this reader. Jack McDevitt's "Excalibur" is a terrific mystery with political overtones. Alex Shvartsman, in "The Race for Arcadia" , gave me goosebumps with its chilling tale of an approach to space travel I won't describe so as not to spoil it. I don't want to ruin your own chills! Aussie writer Lezli Robyn, in "A Walkabout Among the Stars", gives us a startling and alarming first contact tale."In Panic Town, on the Backward Moon," is an offering by Michael F. Flynn, a charmingly-written mystery in space, with good science fiction and a noir-style voice. Joleta Clegg gives us "The Ultimate Space Race", a nice change of pace from the hard-bitten sf style of most of the stories, and one that supports the suggestion of a number of these writers that there will be commercial aspects to the exploration of space--in her case, in the shape of a reality television show with lots and lots and lots of advertising.SF stalwart Michael Capobianco, in "Airtight", does a fine job of illuminating privatized space exploration. James Gunn, in "The Rabbit Hole", describes a weird and wonderful trip down a wormhole, a rabbit hole in space leading to a bizarre Wonderland. Sarah A. Hoyt's story, "On Edge", is the tale of three young nerds competing for a corporate prize who cause a world of trouble with their efforts.As a fan of character-driven fiction, two stories in this solid collection stand out for me: Jack Skillingstead's "Tribute" pursues the oft-visited them of privatized space exploration, but as I've always found with his work, the characters come alive, and the plot has a satisfying little revenge twist. The other story, Brenda Cooper's wonderful "Iron Pegasus" also features characters that come alive--but they're robots, charming beings struggling to find a way past the classic paradox of allowed robot behavior. I received an advance copy of this collection, and I'm glad I did. Kudos to editor Bryan Thomas Schmidt for the variety and inclusiveness of this anthology. Highly recommended.

By Steve Pantazis This is a fantastic anthology comprised of extremely well-written short stories about space travel. It gives the reader a wide range of writing styles from top-grade authors, and includes stories that are serious, funny, fast-paced, futuristic, evocative and downright interesting. If you love space-faring adventures, this is a must read. Hugo-nominated editor, Bryan Thomas Schmidt did a fantastic job curating this collection of short stories, and the anthology is sure to garner considerable praise among notables in the sci-fi field. I loved it, and I know you will too!

Tasty Concept, Enjoyable Reads By Mark Penny Maybe it's because I recently read Andy Weir's The Martian (edited by Schmidt), but I rather hoped that the stories in this anthology would be less whimsical and more suggestive of what we might do to actually get off our planetary backside and plant an outsole on the next step to the stars. However, if you embrace the whimsy, all the stories are good and some are excellent--and the question of how to proceed with the dream does get some attention.
