Theological Engineering exam: Elder Gods rule the more
Theological Engineering exam: Elder Gods rule the Universe, but now the stars are going out. What will They do now?
Jim Grimsley ably takes on this Zelaznian line of inquiry in his third F/SF book, set in the same universe as Kirith Kirin (2000) and The Ordinary (2004), both also recommended. Grimsley is becoming something of an American Iain Banks: his literary novels have also been well-received. The Last Green Tree may be his best book yet: an unusually successful blend of high fantasy, careful SF worldbuilding, stargates, high-tech warfare, and mysterious godlike beings pulling the strings. The appropriately enigmatic ending suggests More to Come. I hope so.
Recommended review: Paul Di Filippo's, at scifi[dot]com
Happy reading--
