Decalog 5

TEN STORIES - A BILLION YEARS - AN INFINITE UNIVERSE

Following in the tradition of three previous highly successful and acclaimed short story collection, DECALOG 5 reveals all the strangeness and variety of human experience from the near future all the way to the end of time itself, in ten stories about the Wonders of the Universe.

From big to small, beautiful to evil: a river that spans the universe - and is slowly destroying it; a gallery where every whisper echoes for a thousand years; an eighth-century robot that answers all questions; and an artist whose final work is death.

As with previous Decalogs, the editors have sought out some of the best writing talent around, from established giants of SF to brilliant newcomers.


Notes:
  • Decalog 5 is the second collection of short fiction published by Virgin that does not feature the Doctor. A single story, The Judgement of Solomon by Lawrence Miles, features former companion Bernice Summerfield.
  • Released: September 1997

  • ISBN: 0 426 20515 4
