Strange Attractors

The cream of 20 years of published short stories are collected together in Strange Attractors. Starting with my first professional publication – ‘The Path to the Sun’ (which you can find under ‘Free Stuff’ on this very website by way of a teaser) – it covers a wide range of genres, from alt. history to contemporary mystery with many and varied flavours of science fiction and fantasy, and even a touch of horror.

Includes a specially written new story ‘Sin of Omission’ and the space opera ‘Liberty Bird’ which won the British Science Fiction Association Shorter Fiction award.
