Galactic North

Galactic North is a science novel by author Alastair Reynolds. The fundamental right to extend human intelligence beyond natural limits became the cause of war among the Demarchists and Conjoiners. Lighthugger ships bind controversial populations together, driven by panicky and paranoid Ultras. This is SF’s best and most ambitious collection of stories.

Here are the top 3 reviews and comments that readers love about this fascinating book.

Review 1: Galactic North audiobook by Trip Williams

Fantastic Tie-In

I’m used to Alastair Reynolds’ books being LONG. I’m used to following his Characters non-stop for 20+ hours at a time. But this series of shorter stories, set in the same Universe, is AWESOME! Reynolds seems to assume that readers will have already read his other books, and therefore doesn’t go into nearly the set-up of the characters that he does in his other books… If you already know the Universe, you’ll love how this series of stories expands upon events and places alluded to in the Main Series. Since you already know the characters, Reynolds is able to get straight to the action in each of the stories!
Loved It!

Review 2: Galactic North audiobook by D. Milbradt

Deep Space, Long Time Span

If you like to travel far in time and space you will like these stories. The hive mind concept and humanities reaction to it are intriguingly expored in a hard SF envoirnment with space pirates and interstellar travel.

The narator gives you no warning of the end of one story and the beginning of the next. Don’t get lost during these transitions.

Review 3: Galactic North audiobook by Slartibardfast

If you are thinking of reading Reynold’s Revelation Space series (hint: this is a good idea) start by reading these short stories, as well as the Novellas Diamond Dogs, Turquoise Days. Like most people (I suspect) I started with the big novels – if you read these short stories and Novellas first, you will get a much better historical perspective on the novels, as well as understanding properly the back-stories of most of the major characters.
