The Nahan is S.G. Redling’s speculative fiction duology. Ourselves (2015) and The Reaches (2018) explore questions of identity, consciousness, and what it means to be human. The series sits in a different register from Redling’s thrillers, trading action for philosophical speculation.
Ourselves introduces the premise and the world, asking readers to reconsider how they think about intelligence and selfhood. The Reaches arrived three years later and pushes the story further into uncharted territory.
Redling is perhaps better known for Flowertown and her thriller work, so The Nahan shows a different side of her writing. Fans of speculative fiction that leans more toward ideas than explosions will appreciate what she does here.
