Recenzii

One of the finest science fiction achievements of the decade, and deserving of every accolade thrown at it... Brain-breaking and imaginative, but also approachable and amusing, warm-hearted, even as it's sinking its claws into your back, funny, furious, and endlessly creative
A fast, gripping story... a thriller crossed with a story about learning to live with consequences you didn't choose
Yoon Ha Lee [has] stuck the landing, and in doing so cemented that the Machineries of Empire series is one of the most ambitious and rewarding science fiction series in print
Yoon Ha Lee wraps up his stunning Machineries of Empire trilogy with all of the style of the first two volumes
This is a series crafted with care and skill and thoughtful attention to the storytelling... Good science fiction indeed
It's damn good, all of it, and is one of the best books I've read so far this year
Revenant Gun is full of uncomfortable questions... I don't think it's hyperbole to say this book could make you a better person
I can't recommend this book enough... From start to finish I was hooked, and the ending was very satisfying
Not for the faint of heart... but it's superb and weird and strange and absolutely worth the effort you'll invest
The excellent conclusion to a trilogy about empire, colonialism, complicity, and the difficult but necessary work of dismantling machineries of oppression

Descriere

Descriere de la o altă ediție sau format:
The most exciting science fiction trilogy of the decade reaches its astonishing conclusion!
When Shuos Jedao wakes up for the first time, several things go wrong. His few memories tell him that he's a seventeen-year-old cadet--but his body belongs to a man decades older.  Hexarch Nirai Kujen orders Jedao to reconquer the fractured hexarchate on his behalf even though Jedao has no memory of ever being a soldier, let alone a general.  Surely a knack for video games doesn't qualify you to take charge of an army?
 
Soon Jedao learns the situation is even worse.  The Kel soldiers under his command may be compelled to obey him, but they hate him thanks to a massacre he can't remember committing.  Kujen's friendliness can't hide the fact that he's a tyrant.  And what's worse, Jedao and Kujen are being hunted by an enemy who knows more about Jedao and his crimes than he does himself...

* From Nebula, Hugo and Clarke award nominated author Yoon Ha Lee!
* Previous books in the series have been received with outstanding critical reception. This is the highly anticipated concluding volume!
