![]() ![]() Radiation, mutation, extreme temperatures – whatever you like, whatever you deem necessary, is at the tips of your fingers. ![]() The unforgiving inevitability of right angles and straight lines alters the fabric of the universe, creating temporal pockets of reality where life becomes impossible. The magic of math – of geometry and probability, of statistics and analysis – is a lethal one.

Ninefox Gambit, the first installment in Lee’s Machineries of Empire trilogy, presents a world in which math is the language of magic. This year started out very well – at least with regards to my SF reading □ I have only had the misfortune of reading one dud during these first two months of 2020, and it was fantasy, which I’ll definitely scour in a scathing review sometime in the future – but as this review deals with a violent military SF of the highest order, I shall focus on that with all the delight and diligence it deserves. ![]()
