This was strong, exciting, and even emotional. Also gave me "Afro Samurai" / "Samurai Champloo" vibes. I hope she has another adventure soon.

Pretty interesting so far, especially the one about the bee and the one about the bat.

Adrian Tchaikovsky's "Alien Clay" isn't the first hard sci-fi novel about a space prison, and it won't be the last. But as he explains in this exclusive interview, it is unique for having a prisoner be a scientist who's right where he needs to be.
