Reach for Infinity is a collection of fourteen sci-fi short stories, edited by Jonathan Strahan which is the third volume in the Infinities series. There is a wide variety of sci-fi subgenres. One short story was the basis for a film. Also included is an Ian McDonald offering, The Fifth Dragon, and serves as the origin story for one of the five dragons in his Luna trilogy.
