Perlkönig

The books I read, the music I listen to, and the games I play

“The Prefect” by Alastair Reynolds

Rating: 2.5/3. This is a great whodunit with a very likable and believable lead character. It’s a sci-fi, but it’s really more about the characters. Even if you don’t love sci-fi generally, you will very probably find something here that will strike your fancy.

“The Six Directions of Space” by Alastair Reynolds

Rating: 2/3. This is a great short story that explores an alternate world in which the Mongols succeed in taking over the world and establishing a galactic empire. This is an excellent example of good short-style writing and I recommend it to sci-fi fans.

  • Who am I?

    My name is Aaron Dalton. See the "About Me" link for more information. The name Perlkönig is a combination of my favourite programming language (Perl) and the title of one of Franz Schubert's most famous lied (Erlkönig).
