Alone, she felt the city around her: a fragile and elaborate construction; a maze of streets as complex as the strands of a spider’s web; houses in which people had lived and slept and made love, each individual leaving an indelible mark on the place. Ever since I first read a book by Pat Murphy th...

Quite a strange read. Interesting concepts and description of Mayan culture (I won't comment about whether it's exact or not, as I don't know enough about it as of yet), seen through both the prisms of archaeology and of visions of "shadows of the past". Interesting mother/daughter relationship, too...

I've read a book by Pat Murphy before and liked it so when I was invited to read this omnibus of two of her books (Wild Angel and Adventures in Space and Time With Max Merriwell) I jumped at the chance. These two books work well as a collection (even though they are different genres) and while I was...

This is a very nice short read. Very scifi and thought out well. I liked the story, the development and then...you are left to imagine. There is character development, even though the story is short. And I wonder if all these things are possible. Maybe one dahy... I would recommend :)

This book has proved beyond a shadow of a doubt that I will never be able to get into Anne McCaffrey. Most of the stories were pretty entertaining. I think The Bully and the Beast was my favorite.

Excellent collection. Of course, when you're aiming to select the best stories from the last 30 years, you're bound to get some good ones! I'd already read about half of them, which wasn't a bad ratio, and I only disliked a couple. The anthology really works as an overview and a retrospective of the...
