The Dream Archipelago is a neutral zone in a world at war. The hundreds of islands, languishing in tropical seas, are a constant lure to young men on both sides of the conflict. In these interlinked stories, Christopher Priest explores war, relationships and forms of reality. A soldier comes to doubt that the right is on his side; a woman remembers more peaceful times in the archipelago; a man discovers the evil that women can do to each other. The tale becomes a tapestry in a manner reminiscent of Keith Robert's great novel Pavane , weaving reality together in ways which are never obvious. Over all looms the time vortex which makes this world so different from our own. Newly revised and added to by the author, and collected together in book form for the first time, The Dream Archipelago shows a writer at the height of his power.

This anthology promises original narratives that explore the darker side of home, making it a must-read for horror enthusiasts.
A stunning literary SF novel from the multiple award winning Christopher Priest. A tale of murder, artistic rivalry and literary trickery; a Chinese puzzle of a novel where nothing is quite what it seems; a narrator whose agenda is artful and subtle; a narrative that pulls you in and plays an elegant game with you. The Dream Archipelago is a vast network of islands. The names of the islands are different depending on who you talk to, their very locations seem to twist and shift. Some islands have been sculpted into vast musical instruments, others are home to lethal creatures, others the playground for high society. Hot winds blow across the archipelago and a war fought between two distant continents is played out across its waters. THE ISLANDERS serves both as an untrustworthy but enticing guide to the islands, an intriguing, multi-layered tale of a murder and the suspect legacy of its appealing but definitely untrustworthy narrator.

THE SEPARATION is the story of twin brothers. Rowers in the 1936 Olympics, they meet Rudolf Hess, Hitler's deputy; one joins the RAF, and captains a Wellington; he is shot down after a bombing raid on Hamburg and becomes Churchill's aide-de-camp; his twin brother, a pacifist, works with the Red Cross, rescuing bombing victims in London. But this is not a straightforward story of the Second World War: this is an alternate history: the two brothers - both called J.L. Sawyer - live their lives in alternate versions of reality. In one, the Second World War ends as we imagine it did; in the other, thanks to efforts of an eminent team of negotiators headed by Hess, the war ends in 1941. THE SEPARATION is an emotionally riveting story of how ordinary people can make a difference; it's a savage critique of Winston Churchill, the man credited as the saviour of Britain and the Western World, and it's a story of how one perceives and shapes the past.
