'ASTONISHING AND THOUGHT-PROVOKING' Adrian Tchaikovsky, author of Children of Time
From the million-copy-bestselling Claire North - one of the most original and dazzling voices in speculative fiction - comes an intergalactic tale of conspiracy, war and the fall of empires.
***Shortlisted for the Ursula K. Le Guin Prize for Fiction and the Locus Award for Best Science Fiction Novel***
My name is Mawukana na-Vdnaze, and I am a very poor copy of myself.
In telling my story, there are certain things I should perhaps lie about. I should make myself a hero. Pretend I was not used by strangers and gods, did not leave people behind.
Here is one truth: out there in deep-space, in the pilot's chair, I died. And then, I was reborn. I became something not quite human, something that could speak to the infinite dark. And I vowed to become the scourge of the world that wronged me.
This is the story of the supernova event that burned planets and felled civilizations. This is also the story of the many lives I've lived since I died for the first time.

Discover this thrilling and breathtakingly imaginative space opera from the multi-award-winning Claire North, perfect for fans of Ann Leckie, Adrian Tchaikovsky, Iain M. Banks and Arkady Martine.

'The best kind of science fiction: mind-blowing and wildly thought-provoking' Kirkus
'North's worldbuilding is dizzying and dazzling, full of fascinating and convincing characters (human, AI, and other), and thought-provoking meditations on destiny, duty, and power.

How do we face our end?
Slow Gods is a wonderfully philosphical space opera that explores themes of destiny and the meaning of life. Set to the backdrop of a catastrophic supernova event, the story follows Mawukana na-Vdnaze, or Maw for short, as he is dragged into the ensuing chaos. Through the various alien cultures Maw encounters, North explores the way in which people approach their inevitable doom, or lack thereof. I was hooked from the first chapter, and thoroughly enjoyed both Maw's character development and the story as it unfolded.
