Before that, though, I'm likely to try another novella.If you’ve read any of masterful storyteller Alastair Reynolds, you will be well acquainted with what a superbly good writer he is. It's still taken me seven or eight months, though, allowing for time off to work on the Inhibitor edits, and of course this book will in turn eat into my time as I make inroads into the next book. After the relatively long Inhibitor Phase (which is still shorter than its predecessors in the RS universe) I wanted to try delivering a short, sharp, shock of SF, perhaps closer in tone to my novellas such as Troika, Slow Bullets or Permafrost. It's also, in its present form, quite a bit shorter than my previous novels. It's basically a novel about first contact with a 'big dumb (or not so dumb) object' but it's a fair bit weirder than that summary might make you think, with (I hope) an unusual approach to both theme and narrative viewpoint. It's a standalone, unrelated to anything else I've done. I started thinking seriously about it late last summer, but didn't get really going on it until I'd completed the first round of edits on Inhibitor Phase. In an update on his personal blog, Alastair Reynolds announced that he has finished writing a new novel that will be released next year.Ī couple of days ago I sent in Eversion, which if all goes well should appear in the latter part of next year.
