Jubilee

Autor Stephen K. Stanford
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 13 feb 2024
Jubilee is a lawless, artificial world existing within its own parallel universe; a seething cesspool of vice ruled by an eccentric AI.
So they say.
Detectives Col and Danee are sent to Jubilee on a hastily organised mission to recover the body of a leading conservative politician (someone it seems, has been a naughty boy). But the corpse has been switched and the imperilled partners are drawn together. They might be falling in love, or they might be saving the galaxy – either way the authorities will not be pleased.

Recenzii

"An amusing and fast-paced saga sure to please fans of classic space opera."

"Sf fans will enjoy this adventure that takes a look at the future of humans in space. Stanford’s debut pushes his characters to the brink while making statements about our current world."

"A pair of detectives venture into an AI-ruled parallel universe to discreetly recover the body of a politician’s son—a job that proves trickier than they’d first thought, especially as they start to realize the attraction between them."

"Jubilee is the sort of book that will please both regular readers of non-intrusive space opera adventure as well as those looking for the pointed social critiques of the coolest New Wave sf. And which is as entertaining a look at human foibles as any crime novel written by Elmore Leonard. Stanford’s writing is infectious, readable stuff. Ideas and action flow nicely, the characters pop, the situations veer from light to dark and back again with ease, and the book balances beach read readability, grit, and satiric punch."

"Jubilee is a breath of fresh air in a genre that seems too often stuck in a pattern of dense stories that tend to take themselves too seriously. Jubilee is just one hell of a ride through a galaxy of excitement and intrigue. Strap on your rocket pack and get ready for the ride of your life!"

"Get past the surface pulp romp and into the action, and you find a thoughtful, entertaining adventure that ends with a modern family and new adventures on the horizon."

"A ripping yarn, fast paced and easy to read."

“Space operas are a great genre, but can often be staid. You can have fun in space and that is what Jubilee brings to the party. High adventures [and] an interesting mix of gritty world building with some fun characters. I would gladly read more misadventures of Col.”

"An action-packed, smart-talking plot scrambles its way to a satisfying end. There’s potential for more adventures for these investigators, whose energy and connection soars."

"There are secrets revealed, betrayal, loss, battles, laughter, the trials of parenthood and romance. It’s a fitting continuation of the main story arc and it was a joy to spend more time with the found family of Jubilee."
