In the anthology, Wicked Women.
A quick trip to visit Babylon Steel, yeah, you remember her.
Sadly it’s just a short, but us Babylon Steel fans will take any words we can get from Gaie on this wonderful character.
This time Babylon takes on a necromancer, or two.
Super good, but just so wish Gaie would write a few more Babylon Steel novels.
Available in the collections, Beyond the Aquila Rift and Deep Navigation.
A super good story about the galactic emperor and his robot security assistant. And some koi carp as well.
I really enjoyed this, up there with Alastair’s usual interesting and very entertaining short-story/novella things.
Available in the collections, Beyond the Aquila Rift and Deep Navigation.
A really good story that i so wished had gone on for longer. Reminds me a lot of the Ultras in Revelation Space.
Next up on Alastair’s timeline will be Soirée.
Available in the collections, Beyond the Aquila Rift, Zima Blue and Other Stories and the anthology, Love, Death + Robots: Volume One.
Another one i lost the review for when my old website died.

Another one of Alastairs moments playing with life suspension while in space flight. For those who have read all of the Revelation Space series you’ll know that this can cause really fucked up dreams and states of mind when you’re coming back out of suspension. Mix this state of mind with a spacers’ rumour that one day you’ll go so far you’ll end up beyond the Aquila Rift and you can really get a good head fuck going: with a nice twist at the end as well.
And the next book in Alastair’s publishing order will be Zima Blue.
I’ve rearranged the stories into date order, rather than the order they are in the collection: coz that’s juse how i roll, darlings. Obviously, you can read them in any order you chose as well.
You can find this in the anthology, Griots: Sword and Soul.
I was hoping for more of the similar and i wasn’t disappointed.
Once again we’re thrown right into North-African/Middle-Eastern folk lore kind of stuff with Djèlí’s incredible writing that just keeps dragging you along without a pause.
Djèlí’s writing is so refreshing, and i’m so looking forward to reading many more of his stories in the future.
Next up in the Djèlí timeline is Ghost Marriage.
