Like many sci fi authors, though, some writers contained here are too impressed with their own mastery of jargon and unable to tell a tale that is both readable and understandable. I assume there must be a market for these indecipherable stories as these authors keep getting published. However, no anthology is ever perfect, and I would recommend this book for its good stories. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4.0 out of 5 stars A must-have for every hard sf fan! *by K***S on Reviewed in the United States on March 27, 2014* Extreme Planets was a very hard sell for me, as I have never been all that into hard science fiction in general, as most examples of it (that I have read) were rambling tirades in theoretical physics that bored me to tears. Thankfully, Extreme Planets was the exception. With more than a dozen stories by exceptionally telented authors, Extreme Planets is one of the better purchases (anthology-wise) that you could make.Banner of the Angels is a disaster-thriller, featuring near-catastrophic systems failures in space and resourceful engineers saving the day.Brood is Aliens on steroids, minus the guns-solve-everything mentality.Haumea is a story of mutiny, of tiny exo-planets and pretty much everything that could go wrong in an interstellar journey.A Perfect day Off the Farm is Shawshank Redemption in Hard SF space, where no-one is going to stop you, if you ever decide you want out.Daybreak was among my favorite stories in the anthology. I wouldn't want to give too much away, so let's just say that if movies about stranded, doomed astronauts ever go back into fashion, this is the way to do it.Giants is Wattsian hard sf, which is one of the very few examples of hard sf that I have so far handled with any degree of success. Unfortunately, it is a sequel of sorts to another one of his works (I think it is the Island) which makes it a necessary read beforehand.Maelstrom. If the word 'Science Time' is ever made into a t-shirt, this story should be held responsible for it. Another favorite of mine.Murder on Centauri is a murder mystery in an inhospitable alien world. The paranoia of Carpanter's the Thing, with a touch of Ice Station Zebra.Flight of the Salamander is alien body-hopping, weird vistas and brain-gripping awesomeness all the way through.Petrochemical Skies is a classic example of Conyers-Kernot in action. I have a soft spot for their Peel/Ash crossovers and this story was a loose easter egg hunt of a number of plot points in their general continuity, but a highly entertaining story nonetheless.The Hyphal Layer and Colloidal SuSpension are stories revolving around impossible lifeforms in distant planets, both of them depicting the complexity of strange, alien environments and the implications of human meddling.Super-Earth Mother is a story about a lost, lonely AI that rebuilds mankind to survive in a colorful, vast, exo-planet and her meddling in the first steps of forming their society in an otherwise inhospitable world. Another one of my favorites.Lightime is a story about how the strange day-cycle of a distant planet can mess with your head. Delicious man vs hostile unforgiving enironment action.Seventh Generation is, oddly enough, a story about families and how they will be altered to survive in the harsh environment of a new and impossible world. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.gr/products/23629237-extreme-planets-a-science-fiction-anthology-of-alien-worlds-chaosium](https://www.desertcart.gr/products/23629237-extreme-planets-a-science-fiction-anthology-of-alien-worlds-chaosium) --- *Product available on Desertcart Greece* *Store origin: GR* *Last updated: 2026-10-16*
