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 machinelike 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 Turquoise.

Alastair Reynolds can be a bit hit and miss with his writing. These novellas were a definite miss for me. I slogged though to the end because it was only six hours and the tales did fill in a bit of back story to the Revelation Space series. John Lee enunciates each word as carefully as a 1960s actor straight out of RADA which makes it sound stilted. There were moments of fluidity in the story telling which kept me hoping for more. The character’s voiced personalities were jarring which made me celebrate each and every demise as one less painful note to listen to. I recommend getting this book out of the public library so your mind can voice the story and make it flow.

Sci Fi at its mediocre best
