READER REVIEW, TILT

The trilogy

Tilt. Turn. Twist.

Ayaka and her comrades built a new kind of intelligence. Then it arrived from the stars and attacked. The trilogy that asks what intelligence really is, and who gets to define it.

Companion novels

Same universe. Stand-alone stories.

Murder at the Large Hadron Collider. A wave of impossible deaths. First contact, 200 light years from home. Ayaka plays a role in each, but you can start anywhere.

The ideas

Fiction built on real physics

Quantum foam. The Casimir effect. The muon G-2 anomaly. The Upside Down novels take genuine open questions in physics and push them one deliberate step into fiction, including a starship drive that never accelerates anything at all.
