[edit] First book of two series?

I don't believe it. It's true that The Sky Road doesn't fit into the cycle very well, but MacLeod did try to fit it - it's supposed to take place some time during the Fall, when the Earth-bound part of humanity lost contact with cosmonauts (who exist, even though the Scots forgot about them - Mars is green).

---

Ken MacLeod has admitted himself that the Sky Road is an alternate future. It actually does take place after The Stone Canal, but the point of divergence is in the middle of that book and not in the Star Fraction. The Sky Road is parallel and alternate to The Cassini division and a portion of The Stone Canal. --Djerodek (talk) 06:27, 6 January 2008 (UTC)
