I was almost sad when it transitioned from that beginning world to the succeeding settings. But the story remained enjoyable throughout. The story is too sprawling and varied for me to try to summarize, so I'll just recommend that you give the book a reading. I will definitely be reading more of Williams' books. ( ) I read this because it was recommended to me. One sentence description:James Bond in space with a healthy helping of Creationism. There is literally no female main or supporting character that the main character does NOT have sex with at one time or another. I found it really hard to like the main character, also the story just didn't do it for me. I don't read much sci-fi, and when I do it tends to be classic sci-fi or PA, so I was more than a little lost with all the tech speak and I just didn't like it enough to even try to understand it. Towards the end when everyone's talking about God and Heaven and how the universe was created by someone/someones, I was just constantly rolling my eyes. Creationism has no place in sci-fi. Sorry not sorry. I read this because it was recommended to me. One sentence description:James Bond in space with a healthy helping of Creationism.

Sorry not sorry. I was so wowed by Williams with the Dread Empire series that Implied Spaces was a real let down. Solid writing, but with the stakes so low - there is no real death, and new universes can be crafted from the quantum foam directly - I had a real hard time investing interest in this novel. Another reviewer likened this book to a late Heinlein novel (we all know what that means), and I have to agree. Not bad, but not great, with a sort of boyish save the multiverse mentality.
Williams has taken full advantage of this technopoetic license to weave together a world that combines the sensual thrill of slumming it in the science fantasy badlands with the more cerebral joys of working out just how those lizard-straddling Amazons got there. Best of all, he has placed at the center of his book a hero uniquely conceived to illuminate the landscape. Appartient à la série éditorialePrix et récompensesDistinctions
Aristide is a scholar of the implied spaces, seeking meaning amid the accidents of architecture in a universe where reality itself has been sculpted and designed by superhuman machine intelligence. While exploring the pre-technological world Midgarth, one of four dozen pocket universes created within a series of vast, orbital matrioshka computer arrays, Aristide uncovers a fiendish plot threatening to set off a nightmare scenario, and must find a way to save the multiverse from subversion, sabotage, and certain destruction.
