Today, Reactor publishes JOINER AND RUST by Lavie Tidhar, a new novelette available on their website and also as an eBook from various retailers. With artwork by James Gilleard, it was edited by Jonathan Strahan. Here’s the (brief) synopsis…

An aging robot, on journey to visit a friend, reflects on their adventures together.

Tidhar is the author of, most recently, MAROR, ADAMA, and GOLGOTHA — all published by Apollo/Head of Zeus in English, and Suhrkamp in Germany (where the first two were selected as best-of-year).
