FAR FRONTIERS

FAR FRONTIERS
   US "magazine" in paperback-book format; it could also be regarded as an original anthology series. Quarterly, published by Baen Books, ed Jerry POURNELLE and Jim BAEN and (uncredited) John F. CARR; 7 issues, from Far Frontiers (anth 1985) at the very beginning of that year to Far Frontiers Vol VII (anth Winter 1986). At this point Baen revived (as solo editor) his very similar Destinies series of magazines/anthologies as New Destinies with \#1 in Spring 1987 (DESTINIES), and Far Frontiers came to an end. Something of a shop-window for upcoming Baen Book publications, FF featured several book excerpts. Its emphasis was on HARD SF, sometimes militaristic, and on good science-fact articles; authors of the latter included Robert L. FORWARD, John GRIBBIN, Pournelle and G. Harry STINE. Authors of stories included Greg BEAR, David BRIN, John DALMAS, Dean ING, Vernor VINGE and Timothy ZAHN.
