Summary:
This is a superb collection of stories from Peter Hamilton, set in
the same universe as his excellent, bestselling epics Reality
Dysfunction (Emergence and Expansion) and The Neutronium Alchemist
(Consolidation and Conflict). It's hard to pick favorites here,
because every one of the stories is superbly plotted, exciting, and
full of fresh ideas. The novella "A Second Chance at Eden" is a
classic detective story with unpredictable twists and turns. "Escape
Route," which also appeared in The Year's Best Science Fiction, marks
the reappearance of the starship Lady Macbeth and her crew, who must
figure out a xenoc relic before they run afoul of some heavies.
Hamilton favorites like bitek, affinity genes, xenocs, and Edenists
are threaded throughout the collection, weaving detail into the epic
tapestry of his universe. A Second Chance at Eden is perfect for
Hamilton aficionados and novices alike. --Therese Littleton
