Slow Bullets

Earthly catastrophes and interstellar wars, today's scientific breakthroughs and tomorrow's high-tech obscurantism, the dream of immortality and meeting with the dream, after which there is only death… The universe of Alastair Reynolds seems to encompass all popular subgenres and themes of science fiction, and they are explored with the insight and grasp of a practicing scientist. It is no wonder he is called one of the main science fiction writers of our time, 'the British Heinlein.' In this collection, the author of the famous 'Revelation Space' presents himself as a master of short and medium forms – these stories and novellas are no less captivating than the grand cosmic operas that made him famous. Inspired by the works 'The Eagle's Split' and 'The Blue Winter Period,' perhaps two of the best episodes of the acclaimed series 'Love, Death & Robots,' produced by David Fincher, were shot based on them.
