A stunning collection of ground-breaking sf stories from a master of the genre

LUMINOUS collects together one original story plus nine previously unpublished in book form. Greg Egan's short fiction is at the cutting edge of the genre. His stories range from near future predictions to far future, far space improvisations. His grasp of the latest scientific breakthroughs is unparalleled in science fiction. The stories include 'Transition Dreams', 'Cocoon', 'Our Lady of Chernobyl', the title story 'Luminous' and 'The Planck Drive'. Egan's particular interests range from the farther shores of chaos theory and black hole science to bio-technology and cloning.

Greg Egan (1961-) Greg Egan lives in Perth, Western Australia. He is a mathematician and has produced record-breaking research on supermutations. He has won the John W. Campbell award for Best Novel for Permutation City, and Oceanic was awarded a Hugo, a Locus and an Asimov's Readers' award. His work has also won the Japanese Seiun Award for best translated fiction seven times.
