About this title

Synopsis:

A glittering twelve story collection from Britain’s best loved Sci-Fi writer.

The twelve stories in this collection from Britain’s best-loved, most respected science fiction author assemble a mindscape of place as close as Prague, the Aswan Sheraton, an Oxford Garden where an orgy takes place, and Moscow; and as distant as the Afterworld, a cabbage planet, and the heart of our galaxy.
A far-ranging and sparkling collection, replete with Aldiss’ trademark black humour.
