Jack Glass: the Story of a Murderer
“Interested parties may read the relevant Wikipedia entry. Faster-than-light travel is, as this novel says plainly on several occasions, a physical impossibility; the same is true of teleportation.
I should like to thank Stephen Baxter for his practical advice with respect to the first portion of this narrative; and also Paul McAuley for letting me apply his surname to the Solar System’s most brilliant scientist (the name ‘McAndrew’, the Kiplingesque original – from which, as it happens, the... character was originally sketched – didn’t have quite enough vowels to satisfy my rather exacting sense of euphony). The e-text of this novel includes two works, ‘The Mary Anna’ and ‘McAuley’s Hymn’, originally published elsewhere; I would like to thank the editors of these prior appearances, and Ian Whates in particular. My wife Rachel is a pearl of great price and I’d like to thank her. I would also like to thank my genius editor Simon Spanton, and of course the Tron-like electronic editor Darren Nash, both at Gollancz.MoreLess
