Martin Newland is fascinated by the nature of time. But was his first timepiece a Smith, given to him on his fourteenth birthday, or the Longines he received as a present four years later? Who is the maker of these time machines – an ex-seaside circus performer, or a ‘miracle dwarf’ engaged in a government project to subvert the course of time into parallel realities? As Martin pursues these mysteries, he is haunted by the ghosts of his various pasts as well as the shadowy incursions of his possible future.

First published by Eibonvale Press in 2011, the new Titan edition of The Silver Wind contains a wealth of extra material, including two preciously uncollected stories and a brand new novella, The Hurricane, which explores the early life and apprenticeship of the mysterious watchmaker, Owen Andrews.
