Product Description
REYNOLDS PURSUIT OF TRUTH IS NOT LIMITED TO WIDE-ANGLE STAR SMASHING - NOT THAT STARS DON T GET PULVERISED WHEN ONE CHARACTER IS GIFTED (OR CURSED) WITH AN AWFUL WEAPON BY THE LEGENDARY MERLIN. REYNOLDS PROTAGONISTS FIND THEMSELVES IN SITUATIONS OF BETRAYAL, WHETHER BY A LOVED ONE S ACCIDENTAL DEATH, AS IN SIGNAL TO NOISE , OR BY A TRUSTED WARTIME AUTHORITY, IN SPIREY AND THE QUEEN . HIS FERTILE IMAGINATION CAN RESURRECT ELTON JOHN ON MARS IN UNDERSTANDING SPACE AND TIME OR MAKE PROPHETS OF THE HUMAN CONDITION OUT OF POOL-CLEANING ROBOTS IN THE TITLE STORY. BUT OVERALL, THE STORIES IN ZIMA BLUE REPRESENT A MORE OPTIMISTIC TAKE ON HUMANITY S FUTURE, A VIEW THAT SAYS THERE MAY BE WARS, THERE MAY BE CATASTROPHES AND COSMIC ERRORS, BUT SOMETHING HUMAN WILL STILL SURVIVE.
