Recenzii

Accessible and fun ... an utterly fascinating glimpse into all our potential futures
Praise for Aliens: 'A brilliantly sharp collection
[Aliens] goes far beyond the what and the where and the when of extraterrestrial-hunting to the biggest conundrum of all: why bother? ... This book is always lucid and sometimes unexpectedly beautiful
With a handsome cover sprinkled with green glitter, and pages wittily edged in matching green, this is an ideal stocking-filler for keen alien-fanciers
