Book by Stross Charles

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur :

“Stross’s work offers a potent reminder of why short stories used to be the preferred delivery method for science fiction.” – The A.V. Club               

This selection of speculative fiction runs the gamut—from “Palimpsest,” a decidedly nontraditional time-travel novella, to “Dawn on the Farm,” an adventure of hapless secret agent Bob Howard (star of the Laundry novels: The Atrocity Archives, The Jennifer Morgue, and The Fuller Memorandum). Also included are “MAXOS,” a stunning example of the new flash-fiction form; his Locus Award-winning novella, “Missile Gap”; and “Unwirer,” a collaboration with Cory Doctorow. Rounding out the contents are “A Colder War,” “Rogue Farm,” “Trunk and Disorderly,” and “Snowball’s Chance,” four unique, genre-bending tales that could only come from the limitless imagination of one of the twenty-first century’s most daring visionaries, Charles Stross.

Revue de presse :

“Stross’s work offers a potent reminder of why short stories used to be the preferred delivery method for science fiction.” – The A.V. Club

“With such breathtakingly imaginative novels as Accelerando and the Nebula-nominated Saturn’s Children, [Charles] Stross has proven his mettle as a leading speculative-fiction innovator. Yet his new short-story collection showcases not only his visionary prowess but also his ability to enthrall with plain good storytelling.”--Booklist

“[A] lively collection."– DISCOVER
