STELLAR

STELLAR
   US ORIGINAL-ANTHOLOGY series published by BALLANTINE BOOKS, ed Judy-Lynn DEL REY. The first issue was just Stellar (anth 1974); subsequent issues were Stellar Science-Fiction Stories \#2 (anth 1976), \#3 (anth 1977), \#4 (anth 1978), \#5 (anth 1980), \#6 (anth 1981) and \#7 (anth 1981). Anassociated book was Stellar Short Novels (anth 1976), also ed del Rey. As the title suggests, the series was envisaged as a follow-up to STAR SCIENCE FICTION STORIES ed Frederik POHL 1953-9, also published byBallantine. However, S, while entertaining, concentrated more on straightforward adventure, with the emphasis on HARD SF, and less on SATIRE than Pohl's series had done, and few stories had the same edge;exceptions were Robert SILVERBERG's "Schwartz Between the Galaxies" (\#1), Isaac ASIMOV's HUGO- and NEBULA-winning "The Bicentennial Man" (\#2) and"Excursion Fare" (\#7) by James TIPTREE Jr.
