Roberts, Adam & James Lovegrove (introduction) JUPITER MAGNIFIED
UK PS Publishing 2003 1902880579 / 9781902880570 First Edition Private Press Hard Cover Fine Fiine Edward Miller Signed by Author(s) and Introducer(s)
104pp. Jupiter, magnified so as to fill half the sky, appears in the night sky suddenly. All the world sees it. From that night onwards, life continues as best it can under this sublime and overwhelming apparition in the heavens. People everywhere struggle to come to terms with what the apparition means, with how it can have happened. Is it portent of the end of the world? Or something more positive, something magical? Is it a freak of physics, or is it a message-and if so, how can it be decoded? For Stina Ekman, a frustrated poet and e-zine editor, this extraordinary omen seems to promise fearful and exotic changes for her blocked life. Stinas narrative recounts the impact of this inexplicable event upon an ordinary life. All her life she has been fascinated by light and the effects of light on life; this enormous new fact in the sky forces her to confront the routines into which her life has fallen, the silence which has infected her poetry, the possibilities of existence itself. This complex novella interrogates the way symbol and image govern our lives; the ways in which we attempt to bring meaning to the things with which life presents us; the balance we strive for between purity and admixture. It is an exploration the ways poetry, science and fiction might interact.

Baxter, Stephen & Adam Roberts (introduction) MAYFLOWER II
UK PS Publishing 2004 1904619177 / 9781904619178 First Edition Private Press Hard Cover Fine Fiine Signed by Author(s) and Introducer(s)
88pp. The sixth millennium: An alien occupation of Earth has been thrown off. Now a ferocious new government called the Coalition is sweeping through the solar system, seeking out those who collaborated with the hated enemy. A handful of immortals, once collaborators, live on an ice moon called Port Sol, far from the sun. They govern a community of thousands of short-lived adherents. The Coalition's grasp will soon reach this remote place. The immortals must flee the solar system on vast starships - but they can take with them only a few of their followers. A young man called Rusel must choose between his lover, and his life; he chooses to flee. But Rusel faces a long journey, a journey that will last tens of millennia before the great ships reach their destination. Generations will live out their lives knowing nothing but the journey. Rusel agrees to accept an immortality of his own, to guide the ship and its evanescent crew across this desert of time. But as the years stretch to centuries and to millennia, the origins of the journey are lost in legend - and then the cruel scalpel of evolution begins to work on the crew. And Rusel lies on and on... This new story is set in Stephen Baxter's acclaimed future history The Xeelee Sequence, as were RIDING THE ROCK (PS Publishing 2002) and REALITY DUST (PS Publishing 2000), whose events precede this new story.

Roberts, Adam & Roger Levy (introduction) PARK POLAR
UK PS Publishing 2001 1902880293 / 9781902880297 First Edition Private Press Hard Cover Fine Fine David A. Hardy Signed by Author et al
109pp. Overpopulation has crammed the world full-to-bursting and the last spaces for wild animals have long since been used up. Only Park Polar and Park Antarctica remain, two natural wildernesses where beasts can roam free. But these are genetically-engineered creatures, created and patented by the giant companies that run the world. McCullough, a company scientist, makes a routine visit to Park Polar to introduce a species of kangaroo to the snow-wastes. But competition between the companies is fierce and can often be fatal... and when terrorists descend, threatening the fragile equilibrium of the northern park, matters spiral rapidly and violently out of control. McCullough is soon running for her life through the hostile wilderness.

Roberts, Adam SWIFTLY - STORIES THAT NEVER WERE AND MIGHT NOT BE
USA Night Shade Books 2004 1892389711 / 9781892389718 First Edition Private Press Hard Cover Fine Fine
CONTENTS: Swiftly / Dantesque / Stationary Acceleration / Tour de Lune / The Time Telephone / Blindness and Invisibility / The Siege of Fadiman / Allen Met the Devil / The Question of [?query term] / New Model Computer / Jupiter Magnified / Eleanor. From the Land of Lilliput to Jupiter Magnified. In 2000 British author Adam Roberts published his first SF novel Salt to wide acclaim. Locus magazine described Salt as ... in the same vein as Frank Herberts Dune. And in 2001 the beginning of a new millennium Salt was named a finalist for the prestigious Arthur C. Clarke Award for best science fiction novel of the year. Now five SF novels later Adam Roberts presents us with Swiftly his first short fiction collection. These twelve handpicked tales - eight published here for the first time - showcase Robertss authorial expertise at interweaving world-building with style tone and image. Roberts whom award-winning author Jon Courtenay Grimwood calls 'the king of high concept'' is the rare hard-sf writer who emphasizes character over construct. In SWIFTLY the title story to this collection mid-1840s Europe is at the height of its manufacturing prowess due in large part to the finely honed skills of the enslaved Lilliputian-like people. But the French Army threatens the English shore and one British citizen dares to assist the French in order to free the enslaved. In the sequel story which closes this collection 'Eleanor' marries manufactury owner Jonathan Burton only to observe her husbands demise at the hands of his own Lilliputian workers. To learn if shes been a good mother a pregnant woman telephones her (unborn) daughter sixteen years into the future in 'The Time Telephone.' (The telephone call cost more than $15000 and several hundred digits needed to be dialed!) And when 'Jupiter Magnified' fills the Earths skies scientists opinions on the cause of the phenomenon abound ordinary citizens contemplate the end of the world and one mans personal relationships become all-encompassing. From the psychological collapse of a prominent scientist (Stationary Acceleration) to the impact of a secret military experiment on its human host (Blindness and Invisibility) to an ascent from the levels of Hell (Dantesque) Swiftly transcends hard-sf as it conveys us to the heights and depths of the human condition.
