The first short story collection in seven years from multiple award-winning author Ian Watson, who worked with Stanley Kubrick for a year writing the screen story to the film A.I. Artificial Intelligence, and was the first novelist to write in the Warhammer 40K milieu.

About the Author
The brilliant Ian Watson remains the most stimulating and one of the least comfortable science fiction writers working today. Reading his short fiction reminds us why he is one of the genre's unassailable greats. - Adam Roberts
