Description:
Fans of Alastair Reynolds’ work will notice some strong similarities between it and his novel, House of Suns, which grew out of this novella.

Thousand Nights sets up the universe that is used in the novel House of Suns. It gives a fantasic inside look at the Gentian Line at their reunion but the story has a definate plot and stands well alone that it does not matter whether you have read House of Suns. 


`Thousandth Night' - A story that has engaging lead characters, a solid sci-fi-mystery plotline, plenty of intrigue and fantastical imagery. The only criticism I could make of it would be that it lacks that extra special exploration of the human condition, as characterised for me by the very best of Alastair Reynolds' short stories, such as `Minla's Flowers', or `Diamond Dogs' say. I would put this story more on a par with `Turquoise Days' which possesses an equally enjoyable blend of intrigue and science, but doesn't resonate with the same ominous tone, or as many moments of desperately painful moral dilemmas for the main characters. Fantastic nonetheless. (8/10)
