SPIREY AND THE QUEEN
by Alastair Reynolds
New writer Alastair Reynolds is a frequent contributor to Interzone, and has also sold to Asimov’s Science Fiction and elsewhere. A professional scientist with a Ph.D. in astronomy, he comes from Wales, but lives in the Netherlands.
In the slam-bang, relentlessly paced adventure that follows, he throws us headlong into the midst of a bitter and long-term war being fought in deep space, and shows us that the smallest of actions can set in motion a chain of circumstances that can eventually have the largest and most unexpected of consequences—for both good and ill.
