This second omnibus includes two of Christopher Priest's darkest novels. FUGUE FOR A DARKENING ISLAND tells of a Britain falling into civil war and anarchy - 'In the Wyndham tradition; but Wyndham's mellow sunsets have faded... ' said Brian Aldiss. INVERTED WORLD brings together adventure, paradox and distorted perception in the tale of a planet of infinite size in a finite universe - 'A haunting and compelling book' thought the SUNDAY TIMES.
