A short story collection from one of the world’s bestselling SF writers.

In 1998 Peter F. Hamilton, the master of space opera and top ten bestselling author, published his first collection of short stories in A Second Chance at Eden. Thirteen years later he returns with a new collection including ‘Manhattan in Reverse’ an original and exclusive story featuring his popular detective Paula Myo from his bestselling Commonwealth series.

From ‘Watching Trees Grow’ and a murder mystery set in an alternative Oxford in the 1800s to ‘The Forever Kitten’ and the questions of eternal youth and the sacrifice required to pursue this, these stories deal with intricate themes, sociological issues and take an intriguing look at what it is it that makes us enduringly human.

With all his usual imagination for futuristic technology, complexity of characters and brilliantly conceived storytelling Peter F. Hamilton shows through this collection of work what it is that makes him Britain’s number one science fiction writer.
