From spaceships, stars, and galaxies to the heroes and heroines of his trademark futuristic worlds, this first collection of work from the highly respected artist Fred Gambino includes a breathtaking and diverse selection of paintings. Acclaimed for his mastery of digital imagery, Gambino has developed an instantly recognizable style--beautifully displayed in the remarkable Heaven's Reach, the eerie Millennium Babies, and the wonderfully sensuous Nightwings. His illustrations have graced the covers of Isaac Asimov's classic Foundation series, as well as novels by luminaries David Brin, Ray Bradbury, and Elizabeth Moon. A leading SF artist or writer--including Brin, Moon, Jim Burns, Chris Moore, and Robert Sawyer--introduces each chapter in this unforgettable compendium of unearthly contradictions.
