Really dragging out Alien Clay by @aptshadow because I don't really want it to end

It's a bit creepy, though not as grim as The Mercy of Gods (new thing from the Expanse guys) but it's got an air of the latter, also of Children of Ruin, and the Pluribus writer may have read it..? Though I've only seen the first ep so far and, as a recovering biologist, found it extremely irritating.

Adrian always does his bio homework. Much more satisfying!

Just finished Adrian Tchaikovsky's "Alien Clay" and WOW. A brilliant standalone sci-fi that's part prison-planet thriller, part mind-bending alien mystery. If you like smart, page-turning sci-fi, this is a must-read. Quick review on my blog! #AlienClay #BookReview #SciFi squirkio.com/book-review-...

Book Review – Alien Clay by Adrian Tchaikovsky - SQuirkio

Truly Alien I've only discovered Adrian Tchaikovsky recently, but I've been greedily devouring his ample backlog. Fortunately for me, there's loads to discover, and he seems to be a prolific author who is regularly publishing new books. Many of his books are part of a series—I recently finished the brilliant Dogs of War Trilogy (Link

Just started #AlienClay by #AdrianTchaikovsky - has started out a lot like #CageOfSouls it is about life in a prison camp. If you like Adrian's tropes, you'll like this one too. Only 400 pages.

The novels Dogs of War and Children of Time by Adrian Tchaikovsky struck me deep. I haven't read any other novel from this british science-fiction writer which had the same power. I love the idea which Alien Clay is built on, but it's ruined by an average writing and an annoying narrator. The idea of symbiosis and ADN horizontal transfer has been better told than in Annihiliation from Jeff Vandermeer.

#WhatWereReading : Joe enjoyed Adrian Tchaikovsky's fascinating Alien Clay, which mixes politics, science fiction, alien biology, environmental concerns & the gulag for political dissenters.

Out now in paperback from Tor / Macmillan
