Praise for Stephen Baxter’s short fiction:

‘The stories are the purest distillation of hard SF. They add up to an essential collection’
INTERZONE

‘A luminous collection . . . Baxter can overwhelm you with a traditional SF “sense of wonder” until your jaw drops’
SFX

‘Baxter sends into free-fall the most awesome ideas in science fiction today ... [He] reveals the mortal host in the machine.’
THE TIMES

Reseña del editor:

Stories set in a variety of futures from the award-winning heir of Arthur C. Clarke: Traces gives a kaleidoscopic vision of the possibilities for humankind.

There are vision of histories which differ from our own, either through small changes – what if Germany had won WWI (‘Mittelwelt’) – or through a fundamental difference in physical laws – what if Archimedes had been right in his clockwork-like cosmological vision (‘No Longer Touch the Earth’).

There are visions of futures in which people struggle to survive in a variety of bizarre environments (‘Downstream’, ‘The Blood of Angels’), or, weakened and powerless, inhabit the end of worlds (‘Inherit the Earth’, ‘George and the Comet’).
