(SFX) <br/><br/> With eight short stories and novellas- including three original to this collection- <i>Galactic North</i> imparts the centuries-spanning events that have produced the dark and turbulent world of <i>Revelation Space</i>. <br/><br/> Centuries from now, the basic right to expand human intelligence-beyond its natural limits-has become a war-worthy cause for the Demarchists and Conjoiners. Only vast lighthugger starships bind these squabbling colonies together, manned by the panicky and paranoid Ultras. And the hyperpigs just try to keep their heads down. <br/><br/> The rich get richer. And everyone tries not to think about the worrying number of extinct alien civilizations turning up on the outer reaches of settled space...because who's to say that humanity won't be next? 1113882 2006 Galactic North (Tales from the Revelation Space Universe) total:240|5:46|4:129|3:59|2:6|1:0| 240 935 379 24 5 0 false false Tue Aug 05 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Wed Aug 13 22:07:26 -0700 2008 Sat Aug 08 17:20:52 -0700 2009 Revelation Space...more...]]> 4 1 false false Sun Jun 08 11:37:01 -0700 2008 Sun Jun 08 13:24:42 -0700 2008
