New Jack McDevitt and Alastair Reynolds Announced!
We’ve just posted a couple of new titles for preorder, the first a typically wonderful space opera novella by Alastair Reynolds, The Six Directions of Space. As Al posits, What if Genghis Khan got his wish, and brought the entire planet under the control of the Mongols? Where would he have gone next? You’ll have to read the novella to find the answer to the question, but trust us, it’s well worth the trip.
Second is another entry in our series of mammoth collections, this one by Jack McDevitt. Cryptic contains 38 stories spread over nearly 600 pages — that’s a tad over 200,000 words for those keeping count. You’ll find sf of almost every stripe in this generous helping of traditional sf, including his now classic novella, “Time Travellers Never Die.”
