Stephen Baxter

Eric Brown, CBE

The Spacetime Pit Plus Two collects three collaborative stories by two of science fiction's finest writers. Never before published in one volume, the triptych showcases the authors' ability to create narratives on a vast scale, and yet never to lose sight of the all-important human element. In the award-winning 'The Spacetime Pit', spacer Katerina Wake crash-lands on a primitive alien world and faces certain death unless she can harness her ingenuity, and technical know-how, to bend the destiny of an entire race to her will... 'Green-Eyed Monster' follows Richard as he wakes up after a night on the tiles to find himself inhabiting the body of a toad - and that's just the start of his troubles... In 'Sunfly', Onara and her people live on a world very different from our own - a vast ribbon encircling a sun. But a change is coming to the land, a mysterious narrowing that threatens not only the stability of her world, but the very order of everything she has taken for granted. "With every passing year, the oft-made remark that Baxter is Arthur C Clarke's heir seems more and more apt" - SFX "Eric Brown spins a terrific yarn" - SFX "There's real beauty and excitement to Baxter's writing" - Starburst "British writing with a deft, understated touch: wonderful" - New Scientist on Eric Brown
