Edges is Out Today!

Edges is Out Today!

If you pre-ordered the ebook, you should have received it. If you pre-ordered the print version, you should have it soon.

Thank you to everyone who preordered!

If you didn’t preorder, I hope you’ll consider purchasing a copy today.

For those not yet familiar . . . Edges is a new entry point into my classic Nanotech Succession story world.

Here’s a short version of the back-cover description:

Deception Well is a world on the edge, a lone surviving outpost at the farthest reach of human expansion. Now a determined crew resolves to cross the light years to explore the fallen worlds of old and discover what monstrous life might have grown up among the ruins. A far-future space-faring adventure from the award-winning author of VAST. 🙂

A couple of nice reviews came in yesterday. Over at LitStack, Sharon Browning says:

Edges is “a masterful effort, operating both at a slow burn and with a ratcheting intensity that comes to a stunning climax. Linda Nagata has once again given us a future that dances along a razor’s edge—entertaining, thrilling, humbling . . . and hopeful, despite the threat, despite the danger, despite the sacrifice.”

And at Locus, Russell Letson, who is familiar with the earlier Nanotech novels, says:

“In the imaginary coffee-house of my mind, Nagata’s Succession novels are hanging out with thematic and subgeneric cousins by Neal Asher, Iain M. Banks, Greg Bear, Greg Benford, Greg Egan, Kathleen Ann Goonan, and Robert Reed, discussing the post-human condition, how many nanotechnologies can fit on the head of a pin, the nature and place of sentience in the universe, and whether there is a Long Game in which humankind can play and survive. There’s a portrait of Olaf Stapledon hanging over the mantelpiece, along with a long-barreled raygun. Both are icons of the tradition.”

You do not need to have read the Nanotech Succession novels to enjoy Edges! It’s written as a new on-ramp to the Nanotech story world.
