For Love of Distant Shores by Adrian Tchaikovsky

mwplante's review

4.0

A fabulous set of interconnected stories that really put a bow on the Apt series. I love the viewpoint of the intrepid assistant to the mad professor, and the vistas this quartet of stories opens up. The bit with the termites is particularly intriguing for potential sequel-fuel.

I've only read For Love of Distant Shores for now and will continue the collection later when I go back to The Shadows of the Apt.

Really enjoyed this one. Four short novellas set in the Shadow of the Apt world that explore Terra Incognita of that universe. Pulpy good fun that shines a flashlight in the dark corners of a fascinating world and for fans of the Echoes of the Fall series (like me) there is a wonderful tie-in story included. Good, fun stuff, with the caveat that if you haven't read the Shadows of the Apt series you might be a bit lost in general.
