Book description
City Under the Stars: A Journey Beyond the Wall
Gardner Dozois left us too soon, but not before completing this remarkable expansion of his earlier novella with Michael Swanwick. What began as "The City of God" twenty-five years ago has finally reached its full potential in "City Under the Stars."
The story follows Hanson, a man trapped in a post-utopian nightmare where gods dwell just fifteen miles away, separated by an iridescent wall. His daily existence consists of backbreaking labor, shoveling coal while staring at the barrier that divides humanity from divinity. When personal tragedy strikes, Hanson makes a desperate choice-he abandons his city and ventures into the unknown wilderness.
Dozois crafts Hanson's journey with the skill of a master storyteller who understands both the weight of despair and the pull of transcendence. The audiobook format brings particular power to this tale, as the listener experiences Hanson's isolation and wonder through carefully rendered pacing and atmospheric sound design.
What unfolds after Hanson crosses into the divine city defies expectations. The impossible becomes merely the beginning of something far more complex and morally ambiguous. Dozois doesn't offer easy answers about faith, divinity, or human nature. Instead, he presents a world where the line between paradise and prison blurs in fascinating ways.
The author's decades of experience as both writer and editor of science fiction shine throughout. His prose carries the reader forward with natural momentum, while his world-building feels both alien and disturbingly familiar. This is classic science fiction at its finest-using the fantastic to examine very human questions about belief, survival, and what we're willing to sacrifice for transcendence.
"City Under the Stars" stands as a fitting capstone to Dozois's remarkable career.
