Action-packed and thought-provoking stories ranging across the dead sands of Mars to the backstreets of Buenos Aires, from the febrile mind of BSFA Award-winning author Gareth L. Powell.


Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

Action-packed and thought-provoking stories ranging across the dead sands of Mars to the backstreets of Buenos Aires, from the febrile mind of acclaimed science fiction author Gareth L Powell.

31 stories featuring the author's most celebrated tales alongside all new material, a thrilling experience for established fans and new readers alike.


Ranging from the dead sands of Mars to the half-flooded remnants of Amsterdam, from the seedy backstreets of Buenos Aires to the gravity well of a singularity, these action-packed tales explore mind-bending ideas through the eyes of unforgettable and all-too-human characters.

As their lives implode around them, will they use the moment to save their own skins, or to find a way to make up for past misdeeds?

Who will they save?

Who would you save?

This entertaining and thought-provoking collection features work drawn from Powell’s twenty-year career as a writer, his best-loved stories, and previously unpublished material revisiting the expansive settings of his acclaimed science fiction sagas.
