The Buonarotti Quartet

The Aleutian Trilogy #1-3

by Gwyneth Jones

In Gwyneth Jones’s White Queen Trilogy, the reclusive female genius called Peenemunde Buonarotti invented the instantaneous transit device of the same name. In the four stories of The Buonaraotti Quartet, Gwyneth Jones shows us humans traveling via the device to alien worlds and situations. Some are diplomats, some are extreme travelers, some are prisoners. All are in for a rough, wild ride.

Reviews

[Bruce · Rating 5 out of 5]

A little small press gem by Gwyneth Jones. 4 stories taking place amongst the pseudo unreality of Buonarotti Transit. "The Fulcrum" I had read somewhere before, but not the other 3. All are worthwhile.
If you are a Jones fan I recommend it. If not, don't bother.
