The Ascendant Stars: Humanity's Fire, cartea 3
Autor Michael Cobleyen Limba Engleză Paperback – 19 noi 2012
Battle-ready factions converge above Darien, all with the same objective: to control this newly discovered planet and access the powerful weapons at its heart. Despotic Hegemony forces dominate much of known space and they want this world too, but Darien's inhabitants are determined to fight for their future.
However,
key
players
in
this
conflict
aren't
fully
in
control.
Hostile
AIs
have
infiltrated
key
minds
and
have
an
agenda,
requiring
nothing
less
than
the
destruction
or
subversion
of
all
organic
life.
And
they
are
near
to
unleashing
their
cohorts,
a
host
of
twisted
machine
intelligences
caged
beneath
Darien.
Fighting
to
contain
them
are
Darien's
hidden
guardians,
and
their
ancient
ally
the
Construct,
on
a
millennia-long
mission
to
protect
sentient
species.
As
the
war
reaches
its
peak,
the
AI
army
is
roaring
to
the
surface,
to
freedom
and
an
orgy
of
destruction.
Darien
is
first
in
line
in
a
machine
vs.
human
war
--
for
life
or
the
sterile
dusts
of
space.

Descriere
Descriere de la o altă ediție sau format:
'Proper galaxy-spanning space opera' Iain M. Banks on Seeds of Earth
Darien's future hangs in the balance as conflict rages across the planet's surface and, in the skies above, interstellar power politics has turned to war.
On one side lies the Construct AI and its millennia-long mission to protect sentient species. On the other is an army of twisted machine intelligences and its allies, whose goal is nothing less than the destruction or subversion of all organic life. They were caged in a hyperspace prison beneath Darien in a past age but now they are roaring to the surface, to freedom and an orgy of destruction which will rend the planets - starting with Darien.
Their allies circle above Darien and their armies are rising from below as an ancient battle is about to recommence. Machine vs human. Life or the sterile dusts of space.
