River of gods
River of Gods is a standalone novel, offering a complete narrative within its pages. While it explores a rich world, it does not require reading other books to understand its story.
River of Gods won the British Science Fiction Association Award for Best Novel in 2004. This recognition highlights its significant contribution to the science fiction genre.
River of Gods is often considered a foundational work in the author's exploration of non-Western settings and cultures within science fiction, a theme he further develops in books like "Brasyl" and "The Dervish House."
