Our view
“Diamond Dogs, Turquoise Days” pairs two dark novellas from the “Revelation Space” universe that can be read without knowing the novels. Some readers describe “Diamond Dogs” as outright horror, a deadly puzzle whose solvers pay dearly for every step, and relish its relentlessness, rating it the better of the two. At 308 pages the pair is a modest way to sample Reynolds.
