A collection of the final seven collaborations between Eric Brown and Keith Brooke, joint authors of one previous collection,
Parallax View, one novel,
Wormhole and two novella series, the
Kon Tiki and
Enigma quartets.
First contact with an alien presence on the edge of the Solar System or here on Earth, strange encounters on a distant planet where humans might be most alien species of all, the ultra-rich riding in the minds and bodies of others for kicks, and an impossible love affair in worlds that never were. Four short stories and three novelettes covering the range of the authors' shared interests, from near-future cyberpunk thriller to big science fiction set on distant planets, via alternative worlds that might easily have been, including a novelette exclusive to this collection.
