• ‘Brian Aldiss uses every trick of the science fiction trade in an erotic and neatly-plotted collection’ Daily Express

A NEW COLLECTION OF STORIES FROM BRITAIN’S BEST-LOVED SCIENCE FICTION. AUTHOR

Twelve stories assemble a mindscape of places as close as the Oxford garden where an orgy begins and as remote as the Afterworld, calllng along the way at Prague, where a coćkróach believes he is Kafka, the Aswan Sheraton, a cabbage planet and the heart of oi»r galaxy.

Aldiss's śtories demonstrate that, just as you feared, npthlng is what it seems.
