Here he offers another interlinked selection of stories which, as is typical of Eric Brown, manage to be small scale, close-up, and completely free of heroic posturing, in spite of the galactic scale of their setting. There is something restful about them, something comforting. Yet while they gently entertain, they also, very quietly, deal with big questions about identity, love, and the relationship between body and soul.\" \u003cb\u003eChris Beckett\u003c\/b\u003e, Arthur C Clarke Award-winning author of \u003ci\u003eDark Eden\u003c\/i\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\"These stories demonstrate everything that Eric Brown excels at: intelligent high adventure in space featuring fully-rounded characters that the reader can instantly relate to, revelling in their evolving relationship as Ed and his crew are forced to contend with all that the author's vivid imagination throws at them.
