On Turquiose live the Pattern Jugglers, a sea-dwelling alien 'library of life', that Naqi and Mina study. The latter gets 'absorbed' by the Pattern Jugglers. Later, an Ultra ship brings scientists from the Vahishta Foundation to study the Pattern Jugglers but things are not what they seem...
In this book we go off to the planet Turquoise, so named because it's an ocean planet covered in turquoise oceans.
Within the oceans are the Pattern Jugglers that got a mention in Diamond Dogs, and in this book we get a much deeper introduction to them.
So yeah, a really enjoyable novella adding yet another alien layer onto the growing alien layers of the Revelation Space universe.
Available in the duology, Diamond Dogs, Turquoise Days.
And the next book in the series is Grafenwalder’s Bestiary.
