Galactic North (Revelation Space)

Galactic North (Revelation Space)

In a triumphant return to the Revelation Space universe, the author declared by SFX to be â€œone of SFâ€™s best and most ambitious novelistsâ€ offers his first collection. With eight short stories and novellasâ€”including three never before seenâ€” Galactic North imparts the centuries-spanning events that have produced this dark and turbulent worldâ€¦
Â
Centuries from now, solidarity stretches thin as humanity spreads past the solar system and to the nearest stars. Technology has produced powerful new toolsâ€”but lethal risk will always accompany great advancement.
Â
And without foresight, opposing groups may fracture multiple worlds. Between the Demarchists and the Conjoiners, the basic right to expand human intelligenceâ€”beyond its natural limitsâ€”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.
Â
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 spaceâ€¦because whoâ€™s to say that humanity wonâ€™t be next?
