The City in the Middle of the Night is a Speculative Fiction novel by Charlie Jane Anders. Its setting, the planet of January, is a Tidally Locked Planet. One side always faces the sun, which is a fair bit hotter than Earth's sun, so this side is not habitable. The side facing away from the sun is Always Night and is home to strange creatures (which, although called "bison" and "crocodiles," etc. are not in any way like the Earth creatures with those names). In the middle is the city of Xiosphant, in the perfect temperate zone, with the deadly sunlight blocked by a mountain called the Young Father, and protected from the night by another mountain called Old Mother.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Sophie is a painfully shy university student in Xiosphant, who befriends Bianca, a rich, charming student, and falls in with a crowd of revolutionaries plotting how to overthrow Xiosphant's highly regimented government. But Sophie is accused of a crime, the Xiosphanti police attempt to kill her by leaving her in the night, and she must go into hiding.Mouth is a smuggler in a group called the Resourceful Couriers, some of the only ones brave enough to travel between Xiosphant and Argelo, another city in January's temperate zone, but much rougher and less regimented than Xiosphant. She meets Bianca and the revolutionary faction, and sees them as her ticket to steal an artifact from the palace. | |

Bio-Augmentation | |
| The City in the Middle of the Night / int_6651bba7 | comment |
Bio-Augmentation: The Gelet perform surgery on Sophie to make her able to communicate like them. They give her a patch of cilia that come out of her chest so she can mind meld with others, and tentacles coming out of her back like the Gelet have so she can talk to them, alongside changing her biology enough that she's effectively superhuman. | |

Call a Smeerp a "Rabbit" | |
| The City in the Middle of the Night / int_d5a84e45 | comment |
Call a Smeerp a "Rabbit": The alien life forms on January were given the names of Earth creatures, like crocodile, bison, cat, etc. but are clearly not those creatures (a cat is described as having horns and being large enough for a child to ride, for instance. This even seems to apply to food. A drink Mouth calls "lemonade" is described as being green and sludgy. | |

Everything Trying to Kill You: The areas between the cities. If the aliens with way too many teeth don't get you, there's the icy Sea of Murder, or just wandering too far into the night or the day... | |
