However, a alien ship appears over Paris and wants only to take those with a terminal illness on a tour of the galaxy. Why the aliens, the Kallani, want to do is not known. He takes up their offer.

The Angels of Life and Death collects eleven science fiction stories from two times winner of the BSFA short story award, including one never before published.From cyberpunk visions of post-human futures to traditional tales of alien encounter and time travel, what connects these tales are Brown's storytelling ability and his concern for the human element. Whether he's writing about telepaths fleeing alien assassins on a vast spaceport city in the Bay of Bengal, or a woman reporter finding true love in the far, far future, Brown imbues his fictions with a concern for character and headlong narrative pace.
