London: PS Publishing:, 2016. First edition, Hardcover, Fine in Fine dust jacket. 545 pp. Cover artwork by: Jim Burns 22 stories. "Represented here are all the phases of McDonald's career: the poetic early retro-visions that in the late Eighties signalled the arrival of a marvellously fluent new stylistic voice; the virtuoso Nineties riffs on themes such as the Irish Troubles, nanotechnology, alternate history, and alien sexuality; the bold post-millennial ventures into the futuristic politics of Third World countries such as Kenya, India, and Brazil, as well as far afield to alien solar systems; and recent, dazzlingly conceived variations on the Arab Spring, the nature of superheroes, and Mars as pulp SF writers once fondly imagined it to be. The treasures are abundant, each presented in McDonald's addictive, immersive prose language at once elegantly timeless and edgily contemporary." First edition, Hardcover, Fine in Fine dust jacket
