Beyond the Aquila Rift: The Best of Alastair Reynolds

The Guardian called Alastair Reynolds' work â€œa turbulent, wildly entertaining rideâ€ and The Times acclaimed him as â€œthe mastersinger of space operaâ€. With a career stretching back more than 25 years and across fourteen novels, including the classic 'Revelation Space' series, the bestselling 'Poseidon's Children' series, Century Rain, Pushing Ice, and most recently The Medusa Chronicles (with Stephen Baxter), Reynolds has established himself as one of the best and most beloved writers of hard science fiction and space opera working today.

A brilliant novelist, he has also been recognized as one of our best writers of short fiction. His short stories have been nominated for the Hugo, British Fantasy, British Science Fiction, Theodore Sturgeon Memorial, Locus, Italia, Seiun, and Sidewise Awards, and have won the Seiun and Sidewise Awards.

Spanning more than fifteen years, the book also collects more recent stories like environmental SF tale â€œThe Water Thiefâ€, powerful and moving YA â€œThe Old Man and the Martian Seaâ€ and the brilliant â€œIn Babelsbergâ€.
