A fabulous collection spanning the galaxies and career of SF superstar Alastair Reynolds

Reynolds' pursuit of truth is not limited to wide-angle star smashing - not that stars don't get pulverised when one character is gifted (or cursed) with an awful weapon by the legendary Merlin. Reynolds' protagonists find themselves in situations of betrayal, whether by a loved one's accidental death, as in 'Signal to Noise', or by a trusted wartime authority, in 'Spirey and the Queen'. His fertile imagination can resurrect Elton John on Mars in 'Understanding Space and Time' or make prophets of the human condition out of pool-cleaning robots in the title story.

But overall, the stories in ZIMA BLUE represent a more optimistic take on humanity's future, a view that says there may be wars, there may be catastrophes and cosmic errors, but something human will still survive.

涵盖了SF超级*星Alastair Reynolds Reynolds对真理的追求的绝妙收藏不仅限于广角星粉碎-并不是当一个人物被可怕的天赋（或诅咒）赠予（或诅咒）一个人物时，它们就不会被粉碎传说中的梅林。雷诺兹的主角们发现自己处于背叛的境地，无论是被爱人的意外死亡（如“传给噪音的信号”），还是受信任的战时权威（如“斯皮里和皇后”）。他丰富的想象力可以使“顿悟时空”中的埃尔顿·约翰在火星上复活，或者在标题故事中用清洗游泳池的机器人造就人类状况的先知。

但是总的来说，《ZIMA BLUE》中的故事代表了对人类未来的更加乐观的看法，一种观点认为可能存在战争，可能会发生灾难和宇宙错误，但人类仍然可以生存。
