Lives in Scotland & writes books. New novel JUMP CUT out autumn 2023 from Fledgling Press. Perthshire Gothic. Represented by Fraser Ross Associates.
Reading GALAXIAS by Stephen Baxter, which is absolutely wild - one day the sun just vanishes. I just love the epic scale of his books. MOONSEED begins with the destruction of a planet! Also Prince's Street gets taken out by a pyroclastic flow.
... or Halsey's Hyperspace Hall of Heroes. Taking down the trash fiction army one unit at a time.
Galaxias by Stephen Baxter. Standalone SF novel in which humanity encounters a galaxy-spanning intelligence. Grand scope, interesting futurology and some good ideas are let down by ponderous pacing and a plot that seems to consist of an endless series of political meetings

@curleyhammcozy This reminds me a little of one of my favorite books of the year - Galaxias by Stephen Baxter - it has that sort of clever, modern sci-fi vibe. Utterly utterly outstanding write!👏👏👏
Praise for this book
Galaxias is an unapologetic thought experiment...the true protagonist here is Baxter's invented and inventive cosmology.
