Tuo Yaw is a collection of possibilities played out in alternative landscapes.
Time shifts, paranormal happenings, bio-mechs, mind control, battles with state and authority. This collection encompasses the range of writing for which Douglas R. Mason has become renowned.
"In these future worlds, there has to be room for the hope of love and for the human spirit to stick its head over the parapet. There are Rubicons to cross. Each one prepares his little boat to make the journey. Love is the great gesture to make against the insolence of oblivion - a clenched fist to raise at the receding shoreline."

Above everything, there is always a Way Out.
There is a mixture of previously published favourites and work which is being seen for the very first time! Several 'starting point' stories are included and provide a fascinating insight into the authors working mind. One of these is Tuo Yaw itself, which was used as a loose basis for Dilation Effect.
The original titles of some of the stories have also been reinstated - "Right bloody lucky, Harry," said the straight man - a prime example.
If ever there were a compelling introduction to Douglas R. Mason / John Rankine's work then this is it!
