Best Selling Books by Gwyneth Jones

The universe shifts and changes: suddenly you understand, you get it, and are filled with wonder. That moment of understanding drives the greatest science-fiction stories and lies at the heart of Engineering Infinity. Whether it’s coming up hard against the speed of light – and, with it, the enormity of the universe – realising that terraforming a distant world is harder and more dangerous than you’d ever thought, or simply realizing that a hitchhiker on a starship consumes fuel and oxygen with tragic results, it’s hard science-fiction where a sense of discovery is most often found and where science-fiction’s true heart lies. This exciting and innovative science-fiction anthology collects together stories by some of the biggest names in the field, including Gwyneth Jones, Stephen Baxter and Charles Stross.

What''ll I do if he comes back?Nowhere is safe.There is no protectionHeidi''s sweet, feckless father was deep in debt when he got murdered. Now she''s an Indentured Teen, a modern slave, and it''s totally legal in this future England.

But that''s okay. She has the Police Inspector''s phone number, and the memory of his words: ''if you recall anything, anything at all, please get in touch...''
