![]() ![]() I don’t want to describe or give details about the shape and configuration of Matryoshka because it is so mind-blowing and I don’t want to spoil the wonder. Suddenly appearing in our solar system is a MASSIVENORMOUS alien construct (later named Matryoshka). The novella is set in a future in which a 2nd Soviet Socialist Republic is the dominant world power, which I thought was a very interesting setting. However, despite incorporating recognizable tropes from some classic SF novels, Reynolds certainly makes this his own story with a well-conceived, very well written story whose story of wonder carries an important central message.WE MUST CONTINUE TO EXPLORE SPACE!! ![]() NO ONE has ever done that better than Budrys did in Rogue Moon. ![]() Second, you have said object being incomprehensible and very deadly to those studying it (until they learn through trial and error what to avoid). First, you have the huge mysterious object that enters into our solar system, which no one has done better than Clarke in the first Rama book (IMHO). This terrific novella reminded me of a 21st century cross between Rendezvous with Rama by Arthur C. ![]()
