(Lost to American Gods by Gaiman.) First Contact novel, and first in the Engines of Light, a new series that is both near-future political intrigue and space opera. Macleod, the Scottish equivalent of Bruce Sterling, is the author of the The Star Fraction (a 1996 runner-up for the Arthur C. Clarke Award), and like Sterling focuses his writing in the realm of political SF. He was nomiated for the 1998 British Science Fiction Award (BSFA) for The Cassini Division, and won it in 1999 for The Sky Road. "MacLeod's original and subversive way of imagining his futures easily overshadows the formulaic elements of his narrative." - Locus, May 2001. "Cosmonaut Keep opens MacLeod's new SF sequence Engines of Light. It is highly entertaining and intelligent, promising more good things to come." - David Langford.

Hardback: 9½" x 6¼". Condition: Near Fine: Small signs of wear. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. 1st Edition. © 2005: A stand-alone novel by Ken MacLeod. 1st edition, 1st printing. Previous owner's name to front end-paper:- Synopsis: The Fermi Paradox: If there are billions of planets in the universe that are capable of supporting life, and millions of intelligent species out there, then why haven't we encountered any? The great sunliner 'But the Sky, My Lady! The Sky!' is nearing the end of a four-hundred-year journey. A ship-born generation is tense with expectation for the new system that is to be their home. Expecting to find nothing more complex than bacteria and algae, the detection of electronic signals from one of the planets comes as a shock. In millennia of slow expansion, humanity has never encountered aliens, and yet these new signals cannot be ignored. They suspect a fast robot probe has overtaken them, and send probes of their own to investigate. On a world called Ground, whose inhabitants are struggling into the age of radio, petroleum and powered flight, a young astronomer searching for distant planets detects an anomaly that he presumes must be a comet. His friend, a brilliant foreign physicist, calculates the orbit, only to discover an anomaly of his own. The comet is slowing down. Reminding us that the universe is not only stranger than we imagine, it is stranger than we can imagine, 'Learning The World' is Ken MacLeod's stunning new novel of exploration, discovery and Mankind's destiny amongst the stars:- Review(s): Praise for Ken MacLeod: "The modern-day George Orwell" - SFX / "Stunningly assured, inventive and intelligent" - Iain M Banks / "A hectic ride, through slaloms of audacious complexity, irreverent ingenuity and paradox as purposeful as it is playful" - Guardian / "Magnificent" - Starburst / "The wit and thrust are like a needle shower" - Mail On Sunday / "Intelligent, witty and politically challenging" - New Scientist / "MacLeod simply gets better and better. SF writing doesn't come more accomplished than this" - Starlog:- (original cost £17.99). Cover Art: Lee Gibbons (illustrator).…
