Gareth L. Powell writes British science fiction that combines space opera, artificial intelligence and military or political conflict with brisk adventure plotting. Embers of War begins a trilogy aboard the sentient rescue ship Trouble Dog, a former warship trying to atone for its role in a massacre while responding to a missing-spacecraft emergency. The Ack-Ack Macaque novels use an uplifted, cigar-smoking monkey pilot in an alternate-history future of airships, corporations and virtual worlds. Descendant Machine returns to large-scale space opera with ancient technology and dangerous planetary systems. Powell's books are fast, accessible and idea-heavy without sacrificing character banter. They fit space opera, military science fiction, AI fiction and action-led speculative adventure. Read more Less
