Firefall is the collector's edition of the novels Blindsight and Echopraxia. On February 13, 2082, during the first contact, sixty-two thousand objects of unknown origin enter Earth's atmosphere – a perfect grid of falling stars screaming in the radio spectrum as they burn. Not even ashes reach the ground. With three hundred sixty degrees of global surveillance: something just took a picture. And then... silence. But from deep space, whispers. Something out there is speaking – but not to us. Two ships, Theseus and Crown of Thorns, launch to discover the origin of the visit to Earth, one heading for the outer darkness of the Kuiper Belt, the other for the heart of the Solar System. Their crews can hardly be called human, what they will face certainly cannot. “A tour de force that reboots the first contact story with a vengeance” Charles Stross. “If you read only one science fiction novel this year, make it this one!... It puts the whole rest of the genre in the shade... Deserves to win the Clarke, Hugo, Nebula, BSFA, and almost any other award it’s eligible for. It's off the scale... Incredible!” Richard Morgan. “Cutting-edge science fiction: smart, dark, and it grabs you by the throat from the first page” Neal Asher.
