Ian Creasey

Maps of the Edge (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

This book contains seventeen SF stories, all previously published in magazines such as Asimov's Science Fiction.

In "Erosion" (reprinted in three Year's Best anthologies), a cyborg road-tests his new body before leaving Earth for the stars. "The Golden Record" sees future collectors competing to retrieve 20th century space probes. In "The Hastillan Weed", conservationists battle an alien plant spreading across the English countryside.

The remaining tales range from post-apocalypse archaeology to galaxy-spanning bureaucracy, via wacky inventors and lovestruck corporations. The collection concludes with an Afterword discussing the inspirations and background behind all the stories.

Autorenporträt

Ian Creasey lives in Yorkshire, England. He began writing when rock and roll stardom failed to return his calls. His first story was published in 1999, and since then he has sold numerous stories to various magazines and anthologies. His spare time interests include hiking, gardening, and environmental conservation work... anything to get him outdoors and away from the computer screen.

His books "Maps of the Edge" (2011) and "Escape Routes from Earth" (2015) are collections of science fiction stories originally published in well-known SF magazines such as Asimov's Science Fiction and Daily Science Fiction.
