Amazing. One of the best representations of anthropological fieldwork in fiction that I've read. In the story, the watched people actually stop moving whenever the anthropologists attempt to watch them. Such a fascinating premise.
Superb collection, with ingeniously designed and cleverly, subtly interlocking stories about mind and sanity, culture and war, sexuality and madness. "The Watched" is for me, one of the top 10 novellas of all time.

Infinitas book review group - book for January 2011.
Interesting and well written as only Christopher Priest can do, though I think the author's strength really lies in a longer format than short stories.
See the comments on The Islanders page; will add full review soon

A connected collection of really good stories with sightly less than satisfying conclusions.
