Manhattan In Reverse: And Other Stories

A major collection of short fiction from Peter F. Hamilton, New York Times bestselling author of Pandoraâ€™s Star, The Dreaming Void, and many other epic science fiction novelsâ€”including a brand-new novella starring detective Paula Myo
Â
Fans of the Commonwealth Saga will enjoy the return of Paula Myo, the genetically engineered police investigator whose single-minded pursuit of justice runs up against a postwar citizenry eager to forget old crimes. In the all-new novella â€œManhattan in Reverse,â€ Paula is dispatched to the backwoods planet of Menard after a docile, supposedly nonintelligent alien species attacks peaceful human settlers. Menard may have to be evacuatedâ€”something the planetâ€™s corporate owners and human populace are prepared to resist . . . perhaps with targeted aggression.

Violence hits closer to home in â€œThe Demon Trapâ€ in which Paulaâ€™s investigation of a gruesome act of terrorism leads into unexpected political, technological, and philosophical waters, threatening the course of human evolution.

Time travel has never been so trickyâ€”or so deadlyâ€”as it is in â€œIf at First . . .,â€ in which Metropolitan Police detective David Lanson finds himself matching wits with a sociopath who might very well be from the future . . . or, at least, a future.

â€œBlessed by an Angelâ€ is set in the Commonwealth Universe of the Void trilogy and features an alien visitor who offers the local human population a chance at paradise. But one speciesâ€™ paradise may be anotherâ€™s hell.

Three other thrilling pieces round out the collectionâ€”and showcase Peter F. Hamiltonâ€™s ability to weave scientific speculation into very human storytelling.
