From the bestselling author of 253, a new edition of four stunning fabulist novellas. The four novellas in this collection are a tribute to the power of Geoff Ryman's imagination. His range is extraordinary -- from unsettling dystopia (O Happy Day!) to spectacular extrapolations (A Fall of Angels}, from a compelling study of obsession (Fan) to a poweful modern fable (multi-award winning Unconquered Country).
