Gareth L. Powell’s first collection of short fiction features a motley collection of archaeologists, hackers and ex-cops struggling to answer that very question. As their lives implode around them, will they use the moment to save their own skins, or to find a way to make up for past misdeeds?
Originally published as a limited edition in August 2008, this collection gives a fascinating insight into the themes and characters Powell would later go on to develop in his full-length novels. With settings ranging from the dead sands of Mars to the seedy backstreets of Amsterdam and Buenos Aires, these fifteen action-packed tales explore mind-bending science fictional ideas through the eyes of unforgettable and all-too-human characters.

About the author

Hello, and welcome to my Amazon author page!
I write science fiction about extraordinary characters wrestling with the question of what it means to be human. I've won and been shortlisted for several major awards, and my Embers of War novels are currently being adapted for television.
If you click the yellow 'follow' button, Amazon will send you an email when I have a new release, or if there's a special deal you might be interested in. It's the best way to make sure you never miss a book!
In the meantime, you can find me on Twitter and Instagram as @garethlpowell, where I'm probably posting pictures of books or discussing the relative merits of different types of tea.
