    Similar. Shroud and A Drop of Corruption are both great. Corruption is the second book in the series. “The Tainted Cup” is the first.

    Adrian Tchaikovsky is, imho, one of the all time greats.

    Haven’t read any of the others.

        Shroud is a standalone. Sorry.

        I know how you feel. Just finished the last book in the Tyrant Philosophers. Have to seek out more and more…

      They’re not all bangers though. Alien Clay didn’t do it for me. A lot of repetition for themes and concepts that could have been wrapped up in a short story.

        I’d say The Final Architecture and The Tyrant Philosophers are his best series.

        He does like his world spanning intelligences, though
