The Spacetime Pit Plus Two

<p><i>The Spacetime Pit Plus Two</i> collects three collaborative stories by two of science fiction's finest writers. Never before published in one volume, the triptych showcases the authors' ability to create narratives on a vast scale, and yet never to lose sight of the all-important human element.<br /><br />In the award-winning 'The Spacetime Pit', spacer Katerina Wake crash-lands on a primitive alien world and faces certain death unless she can harness her ingenuity, and technical know-how, to bend the destiny of an entire race to her will...<br /><br />'Green-Eyed Monster' follows Richard as he wakes up after a night on the tiles to find himself inhabiting the body of a toad – and that's just the start of his troubles... <br /><br />In 'Sunfly', Onara and her people live on a world very different from our own – a vast ribbon encircling a sun. But a change is coming to the land, a mysterious narrowing that threatens not only the stability of her world, but the very order of everything she has taken for granted.<br /><br /><br />"With every passing year, the oft-made remark that Baxter is Arthur C Clarke's heir seems more and more apt" - <i>SFX</i><br /><br />"Eric Brown spins a terrific yarn" - <i>SFX</i> <br /><br />"There's real beauty and excitement to Baxter's writing" - <i>Starburst</i><br /><br />"British writing with a deft, understated touch: wonderful" - <i>New Scientist</i> on Eric Brown </p>
