AbstractHistoryArchive Description
A 'superbly ironic collection of ten short
stories and one novella. The title story is a pastiche of Roy
Lewis's novel
The Evolution Man
, which provided a male
viewpoint of human evolution. Love traces the 'real' story via
female intuition and initiatives, although man, as always,
claims the credit. Other stories cover topics as diverse as the
darkness of Chernobyl and the loss of childhood innocence
and wonder in 'Hovering Rock' (Colin Steele, SF Commentary No 77 2001, p.52).
