Autor Peter Higginsen Limba Engleză Paperback – 15 feb 2016
Peter
Higgins's
superb
and
original
creation,
a
perfect
melding
of
fantasy,
myth,
SF
and
political
thriller,
reaches
its
extraordinary
conclusion.
The
Vlast
stands
two
hundred
feet
tall,
four
thousand
tons
of
steel
ready
to
be
flung
upwards
on
the
fire
of
atom
bombs.
Ready
to
take
the
dream
of
President-Commander
of
the
New
Vlast
General,
Osip
Rizhin,
beyond
the
bounds
of
this
world.
But not everyone shares this vision. Vissarion Lom and Maroussia Shaumian have not reached the end of their story, and in Mirgorod a woman in a shabby dress carefully unwraps a sniper rifle. And all the while the Pollandore dreams its own dreams.

"An amazing, fast-paced story in a fantasy world poised dangerously on the edge of quantum probability, a world where angels war with reality."—Peter F. Hamilton on Wolfhound Century
"I absolutely lovedWolfhound Century.Higgins's world is a truly original creation, Russian cosmos and Slavic mythology filtered through steampunk and le Carre. What really captured me was his beautiful style and language: his metaphors and associations flow smoothly like the waters of the Mir, like Lom without his angel stone, make you see the world in a new way."—Hannu Rajaniemi on Wolfhound Century
"Sentient water, censored artists, mechanical constructs, old-fashioned detective work, and the secret police are all woven together in this rich and fascinating tapestry."—Publishers Weekly on Wolfhound Century

Descriere
Descriere de la o altă ediție sau format:
With his loving evocation of a dark and fantastical realm that owes much to the myth and history of 20th-century Russia, and his rare ability to combine poetic writing and kinetic plotting, Peter Higgins has created one of the most original and critically lauded works of recent years. Adored by critics and authors such as Hannu Rajaniemi, Ian McDonald and Richard Morgan the Wolfhound Century novels now reach their extraordinary conclusion.
In RADIANT STATE we discover both the glory and the true horror of Joseph Kantor's plan for the Vast and its people. It is a plan that transcends the boundaries of the world. And out in the depths of the endless forest that borders the Vast the mighty fallen angel and the powers of the earth itself will still have a part to play. Will Vissarion and Maroussia survive the violence of the end game?
