Galactic North
Alastair Reynolds
A collection of eight short stories and novellas--including
three never before seen--in the dark and turbulent world of Alastair Reynolds' Revelation Space universe.
Centuries from now, solidarity stretches thin as humanity spreads past the solar system and to the nearest stars.
Technology has produced powerful new tools--but lethal risk will always accompany great advancement.
And without foresight, opposing groups may fracture multiple worlds.
Between
the Demarchists and the Conjoiners, the basic right to expand human
intelligence--beyond its natural limits--has become a war-worthy cause.
Only vast lighthugger starships bind these squabbling colonies together,
manned by the panicky and paranoid Ultras. And the hyperpigs just try
to keep their heads down.
The rich get richer. And everyone tries not to think about the worrying number of extinct alien
civilizations turning up on the outer reaches of settled space...because who's to say that humanity won't be next?
