About this listen

Caribbean born novelist Tobias Buckell established himself as a gifted new voice in science fiction with his stunning first novel Crystal Rain. Now, in his first collection, Buckell demonstrates his strengths in the short form, offering readers a collection of stories that are compelling, smart, wonderfully imagined, and entertaining. Tides from the New Worlds contains 19 stories that range from multicultural science fiction to magical realism, some in print for the first time.

The full list of narrators includes Prentice Onayemi, Jay Snyder, and Brian Nishi.

Critic reviews

"Buckell's stories, culturally informed and layered, are driven by plot, rather than character or concept; Story tends to be centerpiece. He is in this sense a little like a mellowed, more pragmatic, hipper version of Octavia Butler." (Strange Horizons)
"In Tides from the New Worlds, Tobias Buckell does what the best SF/F writers do: tells stories that touch our minds with wonder and endow our hearts with perception. Reading this collection, for those of us culture-bound West or East, brings science fiction and fantasy to a fresh awakening. And for those of us who miss seeing ourselves in the fiction we so often read, it's quite moving." (Tor.com)

very good

very good science fiction short story collection. i did not like it as much as the other collection i listened to from the author, "Mitigated Futures", but it was still quite nice. i thought the short story "Her" was absolutely exceptional, good metaphors.
