The Guardian - 'This is NewCon Press's fifth volume of original science fiction and fantasy stories, an admirable achievement considering the prevailing ethos that anthologies don't sell.  Even more admirable is Ian Whates's policy of combining big names with lesser known writers.  Pick of the crop here are Underbrain by Tony Ballantyne, a tale of far-future evolution on a colony world, its Wodehousian form belying its macabre content; The God Particle, by Steve Longworth, which interleaves God's visit to CERN with fascinating theories about quantum physics; and Dave Hutchinson's Multitude, part of his series about a post-catastrophe Britain in which psychopathic elves terrorise the populace.  The volume also contains Nick Wood's Thirstlands, set in a drought-stricken Africa, a beautifully written study of a couple's tenuous relationship in a future where inter-brain communication is commonplace.'
