This is a ROMP. Basu says in acknowledgements that he started off retelling the Aladdin story in a spec fic setting but it ended up as something else. You have a city in poverty & crime ruled by colonisers, oligarchs & crime lords, then the family of a disappeared revolutionary find a piece of alien tech. Lots of battles, lots about political systems and the difficulties of revolutions & just fantastic world and character building. ⬇️
Centique Hope he writes a follow up to this. 1mo
Ruthiella Sounds fantastic! 1mo
