Eric Brown deftly sets up the scene with elements of wonder, danger and loss - adding a dash of sorrow and bittersweet human reflection. All these ingredients play well in this precisely-told story of one couple's romance heavily burdened (but not sagging!) with cold concepts of immortality and infinity. review: 22-Feb-09 (read in 2005) ---------------------------------------------- "Krash-Bangg Joe And The Pineal-Zen Equation" (Engineman series) © Interzone, Aut 1987 The Time-Lapsed Man, 1990 --fiction : 1988 Interzone Poll /4 --/ third place sf novella --/ wonder award --/ adventure award --/ style award "Myths Of The Martian Future" © Mars Probes, ed.
