Format: Unabridged

Length: 22 mins

Language: English

Release date: 02-24-15

Publisher: Audible Studios

Genres: Sci-Fi & Fantasy

Publisher's Summary:

"In the Heart of Kalikuata" is a short story from the collection Tides from the New Worlds.

Caribbean-born novelist Tobias Buckell established himself as a gifted new voice in science fiction with his stunning first novel, Crystal Rain. Now, in his first collection, Buckell demonstrates his strengths in the short form, offering readers a collection of stories that are compelling, smart, wonderfully imagined, and entertaining. Tides from the New Worlds contains 19 stories that range from multicultural science fiction to magical realism, some in print for the first time.

Critic Reviews:

"Buckell's stories, culturally informed and layered, are driven by plot, rather than character or concept; story tends to be centerpiece. He is in this sense a little like a mellowed, more pragmatic, hipper version of Octavia Butler." (Strange Horizons)

"In Tides from the New Worlds, Tobias Buckell does what the best SF/F writers do: tells stories that touch our minds with wonder and endow our hearts with perception. Reading this collection, for those of us culture-bound West or East, brings science fiction and fantasy to a fresh awakening. And for those of us who miss seeing ourselves in the fiction we so often read, its quite moving." (Tor.com)

A Great Ride - Literally

Vincent and his Id, Vince, aren't getting along very well lately, and when Vince decides to hijack an airship, things go from bad to worse. This is a quick read as a short, but you won't put it down. There's so much imagination here in a tight little story that I wish he would take the setting and expand it into a novel.

Great book

Three for three for Scott Mackay. Have enjoyed all of his books and recommend them. Try "Orbis" sure you will enjoy it.

Well written story of first-contact

Hab burns with the urge to explore, to learn more about the world he lives in. When a scientist discovers that a volcano is errupting somewhere distant, Hab resolves to find this new land--despite the legends that hold that there is only one land. He is so driven, he breaks every rule that his civilization has set in order to construct first a fleet of ships, then a trio of submarines, to explore. Exploration isn't easy. Huge 'Tides,' moon-driven waves, swamp any ship that attempts to cross the open spaces in the deep sea. Still, Hab is a problem solver and inventor. If anyone can get around natural goals, he is the man for it.

Hab, along with the survivors from his venture, reach a strange continent. Unlike his own continent, where nature was bountiful, the new land is harsh and hungry. But it is inhabited by intelligent creatures--creatures with violent warlike habits, but also intelligent creatures who just might hold clues to the great mystery of Hab's own civilization--a message in undecyphered text that has challenged his people for tens of thousands of years. Hab turns his problem-solving to helping the alien species. With agriculture, they might be better able to survive the harsh conditions of their continent.

Author Scott Mackay tells an interesting story of a meeting between species. Neither the alien species nor Hab's people can begin to understand each other--their lives and fundamental beliefs are completely at odds. The huge tides have kept them apart throughout history, but Hab's inventions mean that continued contact is likely. What form that contact will take is something that Hab will need to influence.

Hab makes an interesting and complex character. His attempts to justify his lying, embezzlement, and violence as serving a higher truth are clearly just justifications, but Hab never seems to recognize this. I think Mackay missed a chance when he failed to consider how integrating 'liars' into the culture would create stresses rather than merely opportunities.
