Griffin's Egg, while very short (75 pages) "has the multiplex attack of a true novel" (John Clute). This is Swanwick at his hard-SF best, in a setting that's a prequel to "Trojan Horse" and Vacuum Flowers. Radical neuroengineering bears its first fruit - an aerosol schizomimetic war gas. Which gets it first use inside the lunar habitat. It's a horrifying vision - Swanwick is disturbingly good at those - etched in literally hallucinatory clarity. Breughel and Bosch come to mind, with a nod to Shakespeare's Ophelia. Griffin's Egg is one of the most brilliant and compelling of modern-day Moon-colony stories.
