Estos son sus contenidos y sinopsis:

New epic fantasy in the grand tradition—including a never-before-published Song of Ice and Fire story by George R. R. Martin! 

Fantasy fiction has produced some of the most unforgettable heroes ever conjured onto the page: Robert E. Howard’s Conan the Barbarian, Michael Moorcock’s Elric of Melniboné, Fritz Leiber’s Fafhrd and the Gray Mouser. Classic characters like these made sword and sorcery a storytelling sensation, a cornerstone of fantasy fiction—and an inspiration for a new generation of writers, spinning their own outsize tales of magic and swashbuckling adventure. 

Now, in The Book of Swords, acclaimed editor and bestselling author Gardner Dozois presents an all-new anthology of original epic tales by a stellar cast of award-winning modern masters—many of them set in their authors’ best-loved worlds. Join today’s finest tellers of fantastic tales, including George R. R. Martin, K. J. Parker, Robin Hobb, Scott Lynch, Ken Liu, C. J. Cherryh, Daniel Abraham, Lavie Tidhar, Ellen Kushner, and more on action-packed journeys into the outer realms of dark enchantment and intrepid derring-do, featuring a stunning assortment of fearless swordsmen and warrior women who face down danger and death at every turn with courage, cunning, and cold steel. 

FEATURING SIXTEEN ALL-NEW STORIES:

Ebook en oferta: Old Venus, antología editada por George R.R. Martin y Gardner Dozois

En estos momentos se puede adquirir en Amazon España la versión digital Old Venus, la antología editada por Gardner Dozois y George R.R. Martin, al precio promocional de 1,19€ (cuidado, porque hay dos ediciones y solo una esta en oferta). El libro contiene relatos de autores como Eleanor Arnason, Elizabeth Bear, David Brin, Ian McDonald o Lavie Tidhar. 

Esta es su sinopsis:

Sixteen all-new stories by science fiction’s top talents, collected by bestselling author George R. R. Martin and multiple-award-winning editor Gardner Dozois 

From pulp adventures such as Edgar Rice Burroughs’s Carson of Venus to classic short stories such as Ray Bradbury’s “The Long Rain” to visionary novels such as C. S. Lewis’s Perelandra, the planet Venus has loomed almost as large in the imaginations of science fiction writers as Earth’s next-nearest neighbor, Mars. But while the Red Planet conjured up in Golden Age science fiction stories was a place of vast deserts and ruined cities, bright blue Venus was its polar opposite: a steamy, swampy jungle world with strange creatures lurking amidst the dripping vegetation. Alas, just as the last century’s space probes exploded our dreams of Mars, so, too, did they shatter our romantic visions of Venus, revealing, instead of a lush paradise, a hellish world inimical to all life. 

But don’t despair! This new anthology of sixteen original stories by some of science fiction’s best writers—edited by #1 New York Times bestselling author George R. R. Martin and award-winning editor Gardner Dozois—turns back the clock to that more innocent time, before the hard-won knowledge of science vanquished the infinite possibilities of the imagination.

Join our cast of award-winning contributors—including Elizabeth Bear, David Brin, Joe Haldeman, Gwyneth Jones, Mike Resnick, Eleanor Arnason, Allen M. Steele, and more—as we travel back in time to a planet that never was but should have been: a young, rain-drenched world of fabulous monsters and seductive mysteries.

George R.R. Martin ha anunciado en su blog la tabla de contenidos de la antología Dangerous Women que edita junto a Gardner Dozois y que será publicada por Tor. Estos son los relatos incluidos:

• Introducción de Gardner Dozois
• “Some Desperado” de Joe Abercrombie
• “My Heart is Either Broken” de Megan Abbott
• “Nora’s Song” de Cecelia Holland
• “The Hands That Are Not There” de Melinda Snodgrass
• “Bombshells” de Jim Butcher
• “Raisa Stepanova” de Carrie Vaughn
• “Wrestling Jesus” de Joe R. Lansdale
• “Neighbors” de Megan Lindholm
• “I Know How to Pick ’Em” de Lawrence Block
• “Shadows For Silence in the Forests of Hell” de Brandon Sanderson
• “A Queen in Exile” de Sharon Kay Penman
• “The Girl in the Mirror” de Lev Grossman
• “Second Arabesque, Very Slowly” de Nancy Kress
• “City Lazarus” de Diana Rowland

• “Name the Beast” de Sam Sykes
• “Caretakers” de Pat Cadigan
• “Lies My Mother Told Me” de Caroline Spector
• “The Princess and the Queen” de George R.R. Martin

El relato de Abercrombie se sitúa en el mundo de su novela Red Country, el de Butcher tiene por protagonista a Harry Dresden y el de Grossman es del universo de The Magicians (Los Magos). Pero sin duda la mejor noticia para los fans de Martin es que su historia (una novela corta, en realidad) forma parte de Canción de Hielo y Fuego y, de hecho, explicará los orígenes de la guerra civil de los Targaryen (también conocida como la Danza de los dragones). Si a esto le unimos que se incluyen cuentos de escritores tan interesantes como Nancy Kress, Pat Cadigan y Brandon Sanderson la antología se convierte, sin duda, en una de las esperadas de los próximos meses.
