Sleepover Alistair Reynolds ASIN: B0097AXWUY I often think that Alastair Reynolds must have encountered some truly unpleasant people in his life, as he creates such nasty characters so well. Sleepover starts with Gaunt awakened from a long sleep, but soon the backstory of why those who awoke him are so unpleasant unfolds. Gaunt awakes to a dystopian future quite unlike any other I’ve read about or imagined and this is where the story really starts to get interesting. It was clear from the outset that this story was just the beginnings or a larger work, which was pieced together from notes, and may or may not be developed into a longer novel. I hope it does.
