Out of this world: A review of the Art of Jim Burns – Hyperluminal

Man meets Intelligence: A review of On The Steel Breeze
Don’t make the same mistakes as I did with Alastair Reynolds’s sci-fi. Despite the mermen and the ghosts I found the start of “On The Steel Breeze” to be quite slow. I wasn’t paying full attention when a few small paragraphs described how the main character Chiku divided into three identical copies and decided to […]
