From creator Michael Swanwick-one of the very most brilliantly guaranteed and darkly inventive authors of contemporary fiction-comes a masterwork of radically altered realities and world-shattering seductions. The Jubilee Tides will drown the continents of the planet Miranda under the weight of her own oceans. But as the once-in-two-centuries cataclysm approaches, a much greater catastrophe threatens this dark and dangerous planet of tale-spinners, conjurers, and shapechangers. A man from the Bureau of Proscribed Technologies has been sent to check out. For Gregorian has come, a genius renegade scientist and charismatic bush wizard. With magic and forbidden technology, he plans to remake the rotting, dying world in his own evil image-and to force whom or whatever remains on its diminishing surface toward a terrifying and amazing confrontation with loss of life and transcendence. This book of surreal hard SF was set alongside the fiction of Gene Wolfe when it was initially published, and the author has, in both decades since, become recognized as one of the best possible living SF and fantasy writers.
