To the Stars and Back — Alastair Reynolds

Eric Brown was one of the UK's finest SF authors. His work won him awards, his storytelling won him readers; more than that, though, he was a special person, and that won him many friends.Containing all new stories from some of the UK's finest genre writers, this volume, released to mark what would have been Eric's 64th birthday, is dedicated to Eric and his family. It is our way of celebrating someone whose work inspired us and whose friendship made a difference.Eric Brown: (24 May 1960 - 21 March 2023)Contents: Introduction by Ian WhatesRodeo Day - Philip Palmer Last Orders - Una McCormack The Scurlock Compendium - Alastair Reynolds President Max - Josh Lacey Untold - Keith Brooke The Peaceable Kingdom - Chris Beckett The Guardian - Kim Lakin A Sea Change - Donna Scott May You Rise - James Lovegrove The Neglected Bookshop - Phillip Vine Masterchef on Mars - Ian Watson Peppercorns - Rebecca Rajendra Bartering with Ghosts - Ian Whates The Place of the Mice - Justina Robson Eric and the Kethani - Tony Ballantyne About the Contributors
