Jeoz is an alchemist working in the city of Khaim. Impressively he has managed to work in his hallmark environmental themes while avoiding broken-record syndrome. This marks the third time - not counting his short stories - that Bacigalupi has proven himself a versatile wordsmith whose books each manage to be different and yet identifiably his own. In 2018, the two authors completed the project, incorporating their stories into the novel The Tangled Lands. Buckell’s companion piece is called The Executioness. Their resulting stories, each clocking in at about a brisk hundred pages, have been released by the estimable Subterranean Press as lovely little hardcovers. Together they stepped out of their comfort zones to create a fantasy realm with a slight Renaissance flavor. Clearly the two richly talented writers have a fast friendship, because Paolo named a weapon after Buckell in Ship Breaker, and no truer gesture of friendship could there be. The Alchemist is the result of a collaborative project, commissioned by Audible, between Paolo Bacigalupi and Tobias Buckell.
