Eric Brown has written a novel that brings together an extraordinary imagination, rare sensitivity to character and a love of Eastern philosphy. A key novel from one of the UK's favourite SF writers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"This is a very skilfully plotted novel about which it is best not to give too much away... This is the book for readers who really don't want to know where a writer might be taking them... The more meditative aspects of Penumbra bring to mind the calm of Arthur C Clarke's work, while those who appreciate the involved mystery will find much to enjoy in Kim Stanley Robinson's Icehenge.\"\u003cbr\u003e--Gary S Dalkin\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"Eric Brown is the name to watch in SF\"\u003cbr\u003e--Peter F Hamilton\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"Eric Brown is back - and he has fire in his belly.
