Book Description
================
Centuries from now, the basic right to expand human intelligence beyond
its natural limits has become a war-worthy cause for the Demarchists
and Conjoiners. Only vast lighthugger starships bind these squabbling
colonies together, manned by the panicky and paranoid Ultras. And the
hyperpigs just try to keep their heads down.
The rich get richer. And everyone tries not to think about the worrying
number of extinct alien civilizations turning up on the outer reaches
of settled space...because who's to say that humanity won't be next?
Set in the Revelation Space universe, this is the first short story
collection by the author who has been called "one of SF's best and most
ambitious novelists". The eight stories included in Galactic North are
"Great Wall of Mars", "Glacial", "A Spy in Europa", "Weather", "Dilation
Sleep", "Grafenwalder's Bestiary", "Nightingale", and "Galactic North".-
