Robert Silverberg Reviews The Ultimate Cosmos in Asimov’s Science Fiction
Asimov’s Science Fiction, March/April 2026
Review by Robert Silverberg
In his review of The Ultimate Cosmos, Robert Silverberg discusses the 1933 fan-written serial Cosmos and the contest held for a new concluding chapter. The winning entry was Sara Light-Waller’s contribution.
“That concluding chapter troubled most of the readers of the era, and for the Ultimate Cosmos omnibus the Ritters had the clever idea of holding a context for a new finale. This was won by Sara Light-Waller, with a remarkable piece faithful to the mood of the book, but far superior to Hamilton’s job”
