Threshold Shift is a collection of science fiction stories about people in fantastic situations, focusing on the effect of science, technology, and change on the lives of ordinary individuals.
The collection features two stories which won the British Science Fiction Award, "The Children of Winter" and "Hunting the Slarque." The first is a tale of a hopeless love affair between alien kinds on a remote ice-bound world in the far future. In the second, Hunter is resurrected from death by the owner of an extraterrestrial zoo and sent off to the dying world of Tartarus in search of the vicious beast that killed him, the Slarque.
Three stories are set in Brown's Kethani universe. The Kethani are aliens who arrive on present-day Earth and offer immortality, creating moral and ethical dilemmas for the humans who chose to accept - or reject - the alien gift. "Thursday's Child" is the story of parents whose daughter is dying; one wants the Kethani to 'save' their daughter, while the other is convinced that such restoration is wrong.
