I doubt it will happen and I'd be ok with just some more short stories, but since I'm wishing, a trilogy is what I want.īritish author Asher is rapidly becoming one of the major figures in 21st-century SF, as shown by the 10 powerful and entertaining stories in this collection. There was a story about the Hive (turns out Wasps are sentient creatures) and I have to admit I would like a trilogy about them at some point. Once I finish up my Polity re-read, I'll probably re-read the Owner books to tide me over until Asher's Jain trilogy wraps up. I enjoyed the Owner stories a lot this time around as I now had the Owner trilogy under my literary belt. Scyenze is Asher's god, he just won't admit it. Thankfully, I knew this was an element in this book so it didn't shock me like it did the first time around. In fact, now that his wife has passed on, I've noticed LESS bashing of religion in his books. His wife hadn't died yet, so it wasn't like he was blaming God for that. Asher just unloads several times on anything “religious” and even in one of his intro's to a story admits that's exactly what he is doing.
