Solaris, 2010, 335p
My review of this book has been sent to Interzone. I’ll let you know when the issue comes out.
Curiously, while the book has a copyright date of 2010 on the title page, the introduction and the individual stories are copyright 2011.
There is one more oddity.
Take a good look at the cover illustration. To me the whole slightly resembles a cochlea.
Still, doesn’t it look a little…. odd?
I know orientation is irrelevant in space as there is no up nor down but….
The picture appears to be rotated by 90o. Try tilting it widdershins through a right angle. It makes much more sense, then.

Hi Jack – Many thanks for reviewing EF. I hope you liked it. The date is odd, but basically the book shipped to stores on Dec 28, but was published in Jan 2011. Hope that clarifies a little. Best, Jonathan (and thanks again!)

Thanks for looking in, Jonathan.
I don’t want to pre-empt the review but overall, yes.
