"Stross's work offers a potent reminder of why short stories used to be the preferred delivery method for science fiction." - The A. V. Club                This selection of speculative fiction runs the gamut-from "Palimpsest, " a decidedly nontraditional time-travel novella, to "Dawn on the Farm, " an adventure of hapless secret agent Bob Howard (star of the Laundry novels: The Atrocity Archives, The Jennifer Morgue, and The Fuller Memorandum).
Also included are "MAXOS, " a stunning example of the new flash-fiction form; his Locus Award-winning novella, "Missile Gap"; and "Unwirer, " a collaboration with Cory Doctorow. Rounding out the contents are "A Colder War, " "Rogue Farm, " "Trunk and Disorderly, " and "Snowball's Chance, " four unique, genre-bending tales that could only come from the limitless imagination of one of the twenty-first century's most daring visionaries, Charles Stross.
