4.0 out of 5 stars Australian SF Reader, April 1, 2008
This review is from: A Pursuit of Miracles (Paperback)
An intro here talks about Turner's themes, and Turner introduces each story himself, including pointing out Generation Gap didn't quite make it into Aphelion before it died.

A pretty strong collection, of fairly standard story count, so a couple of weaker pieces make this a 4, overall, but some fine work here, and most writers certainly can't pull off a 3.63.
