Polestars: A series of single author collections by outstanding writers. The Polestar, or North Star, is defined as the brightest star in Ursa Minor; since every author chosen for this series is a star in their own right, Polestars provides the ideal banner under which to unite such outstanding works. Rachael Kelly’s debut novel Edge of Heaven was shortlisted for the Arthur C. Clarke Award. NewCon Press are proud to publish this, her debut collection – as strong a set of SF stories as I’ve read in a long time.
