Richard Swift heads to the planet Golgotha, home to a mysterious structure called the Blood Spire, which is responsible for the destruction of a starship and its crews, in Diamond Dogs, and one woman holds the key to preserving all life on the water planet of Turquoise in Turquoise Days, in two novellas of interstellar exploration.
Alastair Reynolds returns to his dark, noirish universe with two novellas of interstellar exploration.
Diamond Dogs: The planet Golgotha - supposedly lifeless - resides in a remote star system, far from those inhabited by human colonists. It is home to an enigmatic machine-like structure called the Blood Spire, which has already brutally and systematically claimed the lives of one starship crew that attempted to uncover its secrets. But nothing will deter Richard Swift from exploring this object of alien origin.
Turquoise Days: In the seas of Turquoise live the Pattern Jugglers, the amorphous, aquatic organisms capable of preserving the memories of any human swimmer who joins their collective consciousness. Naqi Okpik devoted her life to studying these creatures - and paid a high price for swimming among them. Now she may be the only hope for the survival of the species - and of every person living on Turqoise.
Two novellas of interstellar exploration set in the universe of Alastair Reynolds's award-winning Revelation Space trilogy.
