About the Author
Peter F. Hamilton was born in Rutland, England in 1960. He began writing in 1987, and sold his first short story to Fear magazine in 1988. He has also been published in Interzone and the In Dreams and New Worlds anthologies, and several small press publications. His first novel was Mindstar Rising, published in 1993, and he has been steadily productive since then. Peter lives near Rutland Water with his wife and two children.
From Booklist
Futures is part of an ongoing series of novella anthologies. Contributing to this volume are Peter Hamilton, Stephen Baxter, Paul McAuley, and Ian McDonald. The stories are quintessential sf. Suspense they have aplenty, and action and space travel are givens. Conveying something about today's world as well as an alien future, "Tendeleo's Story," the most notable of the four, concerns Tendeleo's struggle to survive as the alien chaga takes over her world; it isn't lacking in thrills, but it's also a human story. "Making History" looks at an issue that obtains in our world, too: who writes history, and how do those writers arrive at their conclusions? Satisfying enough as sf, this quartet of tales lacks something if one is looking for pure literary pleasure. Regina Schroeder
