About this ebook
The twenty-four stories and sketches published here are of varying lengths and are written in varying styles. Some longer ones Fear No More, Falls the Shadow and A Matter of Time - are straightforward SF adventure stories, set in the near future. Others Carry Me Home and Renewal - are adventures in less conventional forms. Style of the Time is set in the past; Visiting the Millionaire in the far-distant future. There Was An Old Lady and To Where You Came From have serious messages; others In a Name, Eradicating stegobium paniceum from pulse-based animal feeds and If There Were No If There Were No Benny Cemoli, for example are more whimsical. Some shorter pieces like An Exercise in Causality and Six Particles in Search of an Observer are experimental in style. There is also a Ghost Story; and The Fast is a brief excursion into the Gothick. Finally there are sketches. Birth was written for performance as a short play; and Murder In Space can be adapted for staging at a murder-mystery dinner party.
About the author
The author is a linguist, economist and politician, who has written and lectured over many years on the recent history of Europe - the subject of virtually all his previously published works. He has, however, been a reader of Science Fiction, in all its forms, for well over half a century; and he is distantly related to one of the pioneers of classical SF, Olaf Stapleton. These stories and sketches are his first major excursion into fiction of his own.
