DescriptionA fabulous collection spanning the galaxies and career of SF superstar Alastair ReynoldsReynolds pursuit of truth is not limited to wide-angle star smashing - not that stars dont get pulverised when one character is gifted (or cursed) with an awful weapon by the legendary Merlin. Reynolds protagonists find themselves in situations of betrayal, whether by a loved ones accidental death, as in Signal to Noise, or by a trusted wartime authority, in Spirey and the Queen. His fertile imagination can resurrect Elton John on Mars in Understanding Space and Time or make prophets of the human condition out of pool-cleaning robots in the title story.But overall, the stories in ZIMA BLUE represent a more optimistic take on humanitys future, a view that says there may be wars, there may be catastrophes and cosmic errors, but something human will still survive.About the AuthorAlastair Reynolds was born in Barry, South Wales, in 1966. He studied at Newcastle and St Andrews Universities and has a Ph.D. in astronomy. He stopped working as an astrophysicist for the European Space Agency to become a full-time writer.
