13. Echo of Worlds by #MRCarey.
Picks right up from the first book. Not as good though, but just by a little. This happens with a lot of great writers and stories: super interesting set-up, world-building, characters, etc. But where to take them and how to end is harder to pull off.
The characters from Book 1 are brought to our Earth by an AI to stop a multiversal war between the Pandominion and the Machine Hegemony. Something subtle is lost with this larger story and bigger stakes. Still, an enjoyable duology that I’d recommend. There’s a third book in this world, different time and characters, that’s in my pile now. I’m still invested.

10. Infinity Gate by #MRCarey.
Fascinating premise of a multiverse that’s limited to planet Earth: endless variations overlaid in the same space. Some are rich in resources, others dead, and on and on. Instead of apes, other species attain dominance on other Earths: rabbits, hedgehogs, cats. But this is all background to a compelling story of three main characters from three different worlds and the key roles they play in a multiversal war: Hadiz Tambuwal, a Nigerian physicist; Essien Nkanika, a sex worker (among other things); and Paz, a rabbit girl.
Carey does an excellent job of telling a complex sci-fi story that’s easy to grasp and follow. Part one of a duology, I really enjoyed this.

Picked up The Girl With All The Gifts by M.R. Carey a little while back on a whim, not knowing anything about the author or the book, and not knowing that it had been made into a movie too. Started reading it a couple of days ago and oh yes, it's absolutely captivating. Not the sort of genre I normally read, but the writing is so good, so fresh it's almost a genre all of its own anyway. I'll have to hunt the film down after I read it.

Time for some skiffy book recs! First:

I'm convinced M.R. Carey could paraphrase the Thomson Local and I'd find myself gripped. I read this two years ago and I *still* think about it weekly.

Luin tämän viime yönä, kun ei tullut uni silmään. Tänään katsoin leffaversiosta, että miltä ne lopun sienikasvustot näyttävät. Olihan ne elokuvassakin hienot, mutta omissa mielikuvissa ne olivat sumuisen toismaailmallisia ja kauheita ja se muutti kirjan lopun vielä hienommaksi. Se on sellainen hauntingly beautiful -loppu (varsinkin kirjassa). En ole sellaista ennen tavannut zombietarinoissa. Muuten oli mielestäni aika peruspulla. #kirjamastodon #girlwithallthegifts #mrcarey #zombi

Just finished the #MRCarey #Pandominion series ("Infinity Gate" and "Echo of Worlds"). Great stuff! A great cast of very different kinds of selves, sentient creatures from different Earths and self-conscious AIs from different universes.
Heady stuff, but anchored by very real and relatable characters. With some thematic echoes from the #RampartTrilogy, (The #BookOfKoli et al.), which is one of my favourite series by any author.

When I first picked up "Infinity Gate," a scifi novel by M. R. Carey whose premise deals with interdimensional travel, I was not expecting a book that manages to introduce multiple furry-type characters. So far: a querulous mole-man bureaucrat, a bitchy dog-woman (ha) boss, an intimidating cat-woman soldier, and a brave bunny-girl student
