“You have to admire his effortless mastery.  A series of flawless miniatures.” – Tony Ballantyne

A major new collection from one of British Science Fiction’s most accomplished short story writers, whose stories feature regularly in Asimov's, Analog, and elsewhere. From the chilling implications of cloning to the potential of alternative realities, from alien life encountered in unexpected ways to the pitfalls of relying too heavily on technology, these stories explore what may lie ahead for all of us.  Sometimes delivered with wry humour, sometimes with dark portent, but always in entertaining and unexpected fashion.
