• THE
  VERY BEST OF KATE ELLIOTT: “…demonstrate[s] Elliott’s
  clear and insightful vision regarding social issues.”

• HANNU
  RAJANIEMI: COLLECTED FICTION: “Hannu Rajaniemi burst onto
  the scene just over a decade ago with a series of mind-bending SF
  stories and his COLLECTED FICTION is a welcome compendium
  of almost his entire output of short fiction to date.

• FALLING
  IN LOVE WITH HOMINIDS ”features 18 compelling
  and memorable stories from one of the field’s most celebrated
  writers…“

Graham Sleight

• FALLING IN LOVE WITH HOMINIDS: "Nalo Hopkinson’s FALLING IN LOVE WITH HOMINIDS was, like [Neil Gaiman’s TRIGGER WARNINGS, an extremely varied collection of stories, experimenting with voice and register as widely as any book I’ve read this year.”

Karen Burnham
