Going for Infinity : A Literary Journey

ore than just a collection of some of Poul Anderson's most acclaimed works, Going For Infinity is both a celebration and a memoir of Anderson's distinguished sixty-year career in science fiction and fantasy. Along with several Hugo and Nebula Award-winning stories, which range over the entire length of Anderson's career, he also shares his fond memories of such distinguished colleagues as John M. Campbell, Anthony Boucher, 'Gordy' Dickson, Jack Vance, Clifford Simak, and Harlan Ellison.

The bestselling author of such classic novels as Brain Wave and The Boat of a Million Years, Poul Anderson won just about every award the science fiction and fantasy field has to offer. He has won multiple Hugos and Nebulas, the John W. Campbell Award, The Locus Poll Award, the Skylark Award, and the SFWA Grandmaster Award for Lifetime Achievement. His recent books include Harvest of Stars, The Stars are also On Fire, Operation Chaos, Operation Luna, Genesis, Mother of Kings, and Going for Infinity, a collection and retrospective of his life's work. Poul Anderson lived in Orinda, California where he passed away in 2001.
