Saevus Corax Captures the Castle — K. J. Parker
Saevus Corax Deals with the Dead — K. J. Parker
The Butcher of Anderson Station — James S. A. Corey
Another back story for one of the series main characters. This time it’s Fred Johnson’s turn as we look back at the events of Anderson Station and how they shape his future self.
Next book in the series is Leviathon Wakes, and it’s a big, big long one: it might be a while before my next review.

The Churn — James S. A. Corey
Book 2 in The Expanse saga.
This time we’re back on Earth in a rather dystopian nightmare future Baltimore to meet one of the main story’s main protagonists.
A really good little tale and back story.
Next up is The Butcher of Anderson Station.

Understanding Space and Time — Alastair Reynolds

Elton John inspires the last human to learn all about space and time.
This is obviously Alastair the physicist having some fun: quite an enjoyable novella.

Signal to Noise — Alastair Reynolds
Available in the collection, Zima Blue and Other Stories.
Alastair wrote a love story: awwwwwww.
And . . . . . . it’s rather good.
Although . . . . . . i’m not really a fan of all this parallel universe nonsense, because it is nonsense, just like flat earth nonsense.
But . . . . . . done right, like Alastair can, you can find some good stories in a parallel universe as long as you ignore all the nonsense bits.
All that aside . . . . . . next up in Alastair’s bibliographic timeline is The Six Directions of Space, which i’ll be eagerly devouring in the next week or so.

Cardiff Afterlife — Alastair Reynolds
Available in the collection, Zima Blue and Other Stories.
Oh dear, just when i thought it was safe to read Alastair again he had to go and start writing parallel universe nonsense stories once more.
Oh please someone assure me that this is the last of Alastair’s delusions that parallel universe stories are any good, or that the theory holds any water at all. Seriously, it’s just utter twaddle.
Anyway, next up in Alastair’s publishings will be Terminal World, let’s hope that isn’t more parallel stuff twaddle nonsense.
