@abraham.bsky.social I’ve been fascinated by the biological diversity in #TheMercyOfGods. Was the concept of Umwelt a specific influence on how you designed the Carryx and their various subject species? The way they perceive hierarchy and utility feels deeply tied to their sensory worlds.

True science fiction dealing with alien invasion, forced work camps, science, spies, and acceptance.
Great world building and an enemy that's just nasty. #themercyofgods

Have you read #TheMercyOfGods? Our Sci Fi Casuals club met up today at (Half) Mind Coffee shop to discuss the first entry in this incredible book series! We even drew a few of the aliens from the book… can you guess which ones they are?
The cover of the book. The title and author is superimposed over a blue tinted shot of science fiction skyscrapers that invoke the feeling of being abandoned and ruined, as well as vastly tall and curving inwards like rock spires around a canyon. The sky is yellow, and there are smaller buildings clustered at the bottom.
Book 59 is "The Mercy of Gods" by James S.A. Corey, first of The Captive's War.

As I noted in my last “Today’s Reading” post, as I was reading THE MERCY OF GODS I immediately reserved the ebook for this novella set in the same series of The Captive’s War, making …MERCY… the first book and this the second...

...I will say that the questions of morality and ethics applied to an alien species predominant in the first half of the book is what really drew me in...

Pretending to enjoy the sandwich its host is eating, the swarm jitters and presses, its myriad dancing senses focused on the little group. The flesh that it occupies once belonged to a woman named Ameer Kindred, who is both dead and not dead now. The swarm is aware of the food in the host's mouth. Aware that Ameer once enjoyed the taste. It frees up some

Times like these, I think about the debate between Dafyd Alkor and Urrys Ostencour about futile violence vs strategic non-violence. #TheMercyOfGods #NoKings
“Alien life exists, and they are assholes.”
Had a pretty fun time reading this considering the depressing premise: billions are instantly killed or captured by nihilistic aliens and placed in work camps with ~1000 other alien species…

About 1/3 through
#TheMercyofGods.
What’s striking for me is how the characters feel so genuine, well written and the impossible new reality they suddenly find themselves confronting.
Fans of The Expanse should
pick this one up.
Guys, #TheMercyofGods is so good! Finished it too soon! James SA Corey can do no wrong!

70% read in The Mercy of Gods by James S. a. Corey. Astounding world building. I believe this book is the first part of a new series. I do hope, however, that it is limited to two or three books, not seven or eight like The Expanse series.
