Slow Gods, by Claire North. Quite decent so far, shades of the Culture novels but more political. Borrowed a bit from Adrian Tchaikovsky’s “Final Architecture” series in terms of how hyperspace works, but I guess he put his seal of approval on it since he’s endorsing it on the cover
A book which resembles my favorite series ever, and which is endorsed by one of my other favorite authors? That’s a hell of an endorsement. Final Architecture was a DNF for me, but I’ve enjoyed basically all of Adrian Tchaikovsky’s other books.
I love me some Tchaikovsky.
Saaaame. Can’t wait to read both his 2026 releases so far, book 4 of the Tyrant Philosophers series, and book 4 of the Children of Time series. I have so many other authors that I wish published as voluminously as he
I couldn’t get through the third Children of Time book, but would really like to see what happens to the freed demoness in Tyrant Philosophers .
Here’s a suggestion.
‘Over The Wine Dark Sea’ by Harry Turtledove. Greek traders circa 300 BC.
Ooooof, that 3rd Children of Time book actually was a bit flimsy. Added to the lore & mythos of the universe; and that’s about it.
I loved those first three Tyrant Philosophers books. Felt like he was channelling China Meiville’s Bas Lag novels; but doing a superior job of it.
I’ll check that out, I haven’t had much exposure to Turtledove
