Announcing: The Tentative Table Of Contents for MISSION: TOMORROW (BAEN 2015)

Hot off the press!!

Ladies and Gentlemen, I present the (tentative) Table of Contents for Mission: Tomorrow, coming from Baen Books in 2015.

18 stories, 100,938 words of great Science Fiction. All original except Silverberg and Gunn.

Concept: Science Fiction writers imagine the future of space exploration in a world no longer dominated by NASA. What might it look like? Private or public? Stories of space exploration, travel and adventure.
