On October 15th, Phoenix Pick will be releasing a new Larry Niven title as part of their Stellar Guild Series, which teams up seasoned authors with newer ones. Red Tide by Larry Niven, Brad R. Torgersen and Matthew J. Harrington will be priced at $14.99 for the paperback and $6.99 for the ebook.
However, for the month of August only, you can get a pre-release eBook copy of Red Tide for only $4.99 when you purchase it through Phoenix Pick’s catalogue page.
Here’s the book description:
Loosely based on Larry Niven s 1973 novella “Flash Crowd,” Red Tide continues to examine the social consequences of the impact of having instantaneous teleportation, where humans can instantly travel long distances in milliseconds.
This is a theme that has fascinated the author throughout his career and even appears in his seminal work Ringworld, where the central character celebrates his birthday by instantly teleporting himself to different time zones, extending his birthday. The author also discusses the impact of such instantaneous transportation in his essay, “Exercise in Speculation: The Theory and Practice of Teleportation.”
Larry Niven is joined by two younger writers, Brad R. Torgersen and Matthew J. Harrington, as they take on this challenging idea and further develop the theories and concepts that Niven originally presented in “Flash Crowd.”
