Tales from the Spired Inn by Stephen Palmer
This review was written for LibraryThing Early Reviewers.I enjoyed this book, although I found it hard to read. The language was hard to keep up with (with this I mean the words used in this "world") and I found myself having to re-read a lot. In spite of that, I liked the style of writing and characters. I'm all in for a good dystopian story!
This review was written for LibraryThing Early Reviewers.While I have received an ARC of this book, I have made an independent decision to post this review.This book has six stories, each with a strong green theme - and very strong females!
This review was written for LibraryThing Early Reviewers.An anthology of short stories and novellas set in the world of Memory Seed (which is included in the collection).
The city of Kray is the last remaining hold-out of humanity on Earth. Even so, it's dying; strange wildlife stalks or grows in the streets, factions and sects bicker amongst each other and try to escape their inevitable doom. The Spired Inn is neutral ground; it's where factions come to talk and where people can be hired. It's surprising how prescient it is (Memory Seed was published in the mid 90s), with the ecological catastrophe and doomed humanity.
Very elegaic and elegantly written; it's in the same vein as Dying Earth but very much more dystopian and without the high faluting Vancian prose.

An extremely disjointed story covering two missions to Mars, the second trying to discover what happened to the first.
