The novel “Eversion” by Alastair Reynolds was published for the first time in 2022.

Silas Coade is the ship’s doctor on the schooner Demetra, which is traveling north of the Norwegian city of Bergen on a quest whose details are known only to those who set it up. Despite modern means such as a steam engine, the journey is dangerous, and that’s confirmed by the discovery of the wreck of another ship.

The Demeter reaches a building that has strange geometries, perhaps the center of the mysteries and secrets surrounding the expedition. Some things are starting to not add up to Silas Coade, is that a consequence of his drug use or is there something else that goes beyond his perceptions? Why does Ada Cossile, the only woman on the ship, seem to know more than anyone else?
