The Government in Exile

The editor of *Metaworlds*, Penguin's successful compilation of Australian science fiction, presents here for the first time a volume of his own work. Long established as an author, editor and publisher of the influential *Void* series of magazines and books, this collection of stories provides for the first time a comprehensive overview of the work of one of Australia's leading science fiction figures.

"This is largely what SF is all about: presenting plausible themes to suggest that things such as invisibility, Jekyl & Hyde potions, creation of Frankenstein monsters, the rebirth of dinosaurs, et al, might be possible. SF is an explorative genre, and here Paul Collins explores." - Jack Wodhams.
