Explore the Chamber of Whispers, where the voices of the past haunt the living; see the epic journey of a young Native American travelling along a river of stars to find out why the immortals abandoned the universe; and marvel at the solar system that defies the Laws of Physics - where, as the ancients believed, a planet is orbited by its sun.

Following in the tradition of four previous highly successful and acclaimed short story collections, DECALOG 5 reveals all the strangeness and variety of human experience from the near future all the way to the end of time itself, in ten stories about the Wonders of the Universe.

From big to small, beautiful to evil: a river that spans the universe - and is slowly destroying it; a fungus that allows people to change the nature of reality; an eighth-century robot that answers all questions; and an artist whose final work is death.

As with previous Decalogs, the editors have sought out some of the best writing around, from established giants of SF to brilliant newcomers.
