My review: ????
New Horizons edited by Tarun K Saint is a collection of short science fiction stories from South Asia. There are alien encounters, people going into outer space, and scientific discoveries.
I found the stories to be quite different to western stories. The end often comes much sooner in these than in many of the stories I read. You are left to wonder what is going to happen next. There are a lot of stories about the interplay of people, and how this affects the thing that is going on.
I enjoyed seeing the different views on science fiction, the different journeys I was taken on, and that people will be people, even on the moon.
New Horizons will be published on 20th August 2020, and is available to buy on Amazon and on Waterstones. I’ve found a link to where you can search for local bookshops, including independent!
If you’re interested in science fiction books, then here’s some others I’ve reviewed, and in particular, if you’re interested in Asian science fiction, try Before the Coffee Gets Cold by Toshikazu Kawaguchi.
I was given this book for free in return for an unbiased review, so my thanks to NetGalley and to Gollancz and the Orion Publishing Group.
