Beyond the Aquila Rift: The Best of Alastair Reynolds

Some stories are fantastic, others not so good.

A recurrent problem is that a lot of these stories end in a cliffhanger, so you will end up always wanting more.
After the first cliffhanger I thought we will get some references or conclusion in the other stories, but no. So keep that in mind. The stories end, even though it seems like they are just getting started.
