Deep Blue: Second Species
Autor Jane O'Reillyen Limba Engleză Paperback – 10 ian 2019
Ce rămâne din umanitatea noastră atunci când corpul ne este transformat într-o armă, iar mintea ne este asediată de traumele unei arene extraterestre? În Deep Blue, al doilea volum al trilogiei Second Species, Jane O'Reilly extinde universul început în Blue Shift cu o viziune necruțătoare asupra viitorului anului 2188. Remarcăm o construcție a lumii în care tehnologia nu este un simplu decor, ci un instrument de opresiune: de la modificările genetice care îi conferă lui Jinnifer Blue abilități letale, până la peisajul arid și brutal al planetei Sittan, unde sângele este singura monedă de schimb. Forța narativă a lui Jc Andrijeski combinată cu sensibilitatea explorărilor sociale din Yours to Explore — dar cu un glas propriu, marcat de un umor acid și un ritm alert — transformă această aventură spațială într-o analiză a loialității sub presiune. Putem afirma că tranziția autoarei de la antologii de proză scurtă precum Hocus Pocus '14 către acest gen de literatură de anticipare a adus un plus de profunzime relațiilor dintre personaje. Jinnifer nu mai este doar un pilot fugar, ci o femeie forțată să colaboreze cu vechi inamici pentru a-l salva pe Caspian Dax din degradarea psihică a luptelor de gladiatori. Merită menționat modul în care O'Reilly echilibrează secvențele de acțiune cu dilemele etice ale programului „Second Species”, pregătind terenul pentru deznodământul din Blue Planet. Este un roman care prioritizează evoluția interioară a personajelor într-un cosmos vast, unde pirații spațiali au coduri de onoare mai stricte decât guvernele care conduc destinele umane.

Descriere
Vessel: The Alcatraz 2. Prison Ship
Location: UNKNOWN
Jinnifer Blue opens her eyes to find herself in a nightmare. Her plan to expose the horrific truth behind the government's secret Second Species programme has failed, and now she's being turned into a weapon by her worst enemy . . . her mother.
At the other end of the galaxy Caspian Dax, ferocious space pirate and Jinn's sometime lover, is facing an even more terrifying fate. He's being forced to fight in the arena on Sittan, a pitiless, ruthless alien landscape where blood is the only prize that matters. They will use him, destroy him, change him.
Jinn has only one chance - to go to Sittan and find Dax before his mind is completely destroyed. She must rely on her friends and one old enemy, leave her beloved ship the Mutant behind, and travel to a hostile planet. But hardest of all, she must keep faith that when she finds Dax, there will be something left of the man she knew.
One thing's for sure: the fight has only just begun.
