Book Description Paperback: 9¼" x 6". Condition: As New: An unread, like new, b. Cover Art: Dee Breger / Science Photo Library (illustrator). 2009 Edition. © 2009: A collection of 12 short stories by Greg Egan. 1st printing of 2009 edition. Accompanied by Gollancz Press Release (slight damage) for this 1st edition Trade Paperback:- Contents: Lost Continent / Dark Integers / Crystal Nights / Steve Fever / Induction / Singleton / Oracle / Border Guards / Riding The Crocodile / Glory / Hot Rock / Oceanic:- Synopsis: Collected together for the first time are twelve stories by the incomparable Greg Egan, one of the most exciting writers of science fiction working today. In these glimpses into the future Egan continues to explore the essence of what it is to be human, and the nature of what - and who - we are, in stories that range from parables of contemporary human conflict and ambition to far-future tales of our immortal descendants. Return to the universe of the meta-civilisation known as the Amalgam, which Egan explored in his critically acclaimed novel 'Incandescence': 'Riding The Crocodile', which recounts an epic endeavour a million years from now to bridge the divide between the Amalgam and the reclusive Aloof; 'Glory', set in the same future, in which two archaeologists strive to decipher the artefacts of an ancient civilisation, and 'Hot Rock', where an obscure, sunless world conceals mind-spinning technological marvels, bitter factional struggles, and a many-layered secret history. This superb collection also includes the title story, the Hugo Award-winning 'Oceanic': a boy is inducted into a religion that becomes the centre of his life, but as an adult he must face evidence that casts a new light on his faith. 'Oceanic': travel into the worlds of the future in the hands of a master craftsman:- Review(s): "One of the most ambitious, startling, dextrous writers the SF field can boast of. A mature, distinctive voice arising out of the monotonous publishing wilderness" - Asimov's SF Magazine / "The Universe may be stranger than we can imagine, but it's going to have a tough time outdoing Egan" - New Scientist / "Egan is perhaps the most exciting SF writer at work today" - Daily Telegraph:- (original cost £12.99).
