Award winning author Adam Roberts is one
of the smartest, most insightful and downright entertaining writers of short
fiction around. This, his second collection, consists of ten short stories and
a poem, all previously uncollected. They include two stories that have never
appeared in print before and three that are completely original to this
book. The collection opens with “What
Did Tessimond Tell You”, which was selected by both Gardner Dozois and Jonathan
Strahan for their Year’s Best anthologies,
and it builds from there. “Roberts
is not just a great sci-fi writer, he’s a phenomenally interesting writer per
se.” The Scotsman “Adam
Roberts’ strength is that he sees SF as both cerebral and playful…” Strange Horizons Contents:
