"THIS SERIES IS TAKING ON ONE OF SF'S (AND MAYBE ALL OF LITERATURE'S) PRIMAL JOBS: THE CREATION OF A WORLD WITH THE SCALE AND COMPLEXITY OF THE REAL ONE." - Locus

A spectacular, vast galactic saga, THE REALITY DYSFUNCTION has won international acclaim, joining the sweeping epic tradition of the Foundation series, Dune and Hyperion. This is a stunning universe of Edenists, telepathically gene-linked to their sentient ships and living worlds; of nano-augmented star pilots and warriors... and of terrifying ancient alien mysteries beyond human comprehension.

CURSE OF THE BLESSED

Joshua Calvert, owner of the Lady Macbeth, is cursed by his good luck; Ione Saldana, Lord of Ruin, is cursed by her royal birth; colonists trapped on the stinking jungle world Lalonde are cursed by their faith; entire planets are simply cursed...

And a data chip from a long-extinct alien race, the Laymil, holds the ony clue to what the phenomenon is - a force unknown to science, and invasion unknown to history. The Laymil called it "the Reality Sydfunction."

But they might have called it Hell...

"ABSOLUTELY VINTAGE SCIENCE FICTION." - The Times (London)

I try to maintain page numbers for audiobooks even though obviously there aren't any. I do this to keep track of pages read and I try to use the Kindle version page numbers for this.
Synopses marked with an asterisk (*) were generated by an AI. There aren't a lot since this is an iffy way to do it - AI seems to make stuff up.
When specific publication dates are unknown (ie prefixed with a "Cir"), I try to get the publication date that is closest to the specific printing that I can.
When listing chapters, I only list chapters relevant to the story. I will usually leave off Author Notes, Indices, Acknowledgements, etc unless they are relevant to the story or the book is non-fiction.
Page numbers on this site are for the end of the main story. I normally do not include appendices, extra material, and other miscellaneous stuff at the end of the book in the page count.
