520    "Neil Clarke, publisher of the award-winning Clarkesworld 
       magazine, presents a collection of thought-provoking and 
       galaxy-spanning array of galactic short science fiction. 
       From E. E. "Doc" Smith's Lensman, to George Lucas' Star 
       Wars, the politics and process of Empire have been a major
       subject of science fiction's galaxy-spanning fictions. The
       idiom of the Galactic Empire allows science fiction 
       writers to ask (and answer) questions that are shorn of 
       contemporary political ideologies and allegiances. This 
       simple narrative slight of hand allows readers and writers
       to see questions and answers from new and different 
       perspectives. The stories in this book do just that. What 
       social, political, and economic issues do the organizing 
       structure of "empire" address? Often the size, shape, and 
       fates of empires are determined not only by individuals, 
       but by geography, natural forces, and technology. As the 
       speed of travel and rates of effective communication 
       increase, so too does the size and reach of an Imperial 
       bureaucracy."--|cProvided by publisher
