Stations of the Tide

In The Jubilee Tides, acclaimed author Michael Swanwick introduces readers to the planet Miranda, where impending cataclysms threaten to submerge continents beneath her oceans. As this once-in-two-centuries event looms, a more sinister danger arises in the form of Gregorian, a brilliant scientist and bush wizard. Armed with forbidden technology and dark magic, he aims to reshape the dying world in his own image, leading to a harrowing confrontation with death and transcendence. This surreal hard science fiction novel has drawn comparisons to the works of Gene Wolfe and highlights Swanwick's mastery in the genre.
