Carve the Sky Tekijä: Alexander Jablokov
A grand byzantine space opera with militant martians, alien artifacts, and court intrigues that stretch from the Himalayas to the asteroid belt with Jablokov's world-building a wonderful mix of high tech and gothic elegance (art figures prominently). I could have done without some of the James Bond antics but I suppose it's all part of the genre. A good read.
Two gems and about 2 four star stories save this from being a 3-star rating. There are a couple of real duds. The jacket says these are "back to the Golden Age" stories but there is nothing Golden Age of SciFi about these stories. They are all cutting edge speculative fiction with a good dose of fantasy and horror thrown in.
Tim enjoyed this story of a far-future archeologist looking for the truth.
I learned about Brain Thief by Alexander Jablokov in an issue of Fantasy and Science Fiction. I tend to add books mentioned in author introductions to my wishlist.
The book begins with the disappearance of a funder of odd ball scientific projects. This happens after she knocks out her executive assistant and steals a car. So Bernal decides he should find her himself as no one else understands her as well as he does.
As Bernal does all the narration, the book's scope is limited to what he is able to discover. It gives this book a solid mystery feel in a speculative fiction setting.
Jablokov writes with a densely packed turn of phrase, similar to China Miéville. Fans of Miéville's longer works will enjoy Brain Thief.… (lisätietoja)
