Elysium Fire
Autor Alastair Reynoldsen Limba Engleză Paperback – 22 ian 2018
Elysium
Fireis
a
smoldering
tale
of
murderers,
secret
cultists,
tampered
memories,
and
unthinkable
power,
of
bottomless
corruption
and
overpowering
idealism
from
the
king
of
modern
space
opera.
Ten thousand city-state habitats orbit the planet Yellowstone, forming a near-perfect democratic human paradise.
But even utopia needs a police force. For the citizens of the Glitter Band that organization is Panoply, and the prefects are its operatives.
Prefect Tom Dreyfus has a new emergency on his hands. Across the habitats and their hundred million citizens, people are dying suddenly and randomly, victims of a bizarre and unprecedented malfunction of their neural implants. And these "melters" leave no clues behind as to the cause of their deaths...
As panic rises in the populace, a charismatic figure is sowing insurrection, convincing a small but growing number of habitats to break away from the Glitter Band and form their own independent colonies.

Recenzii
"This
novel's
ideas
are
mind-stretching,
including
a
limbo
where
copies
of
the
dead
can
be
kept
and
interrogated,
and
a
chillingly
mischievous
AI
that
tempts
and
mocks
Dreyfus.
The
big
concepts
and
complex
story
effectively
pull
readers
into
intriguing
speculation
about
human
identity
and
potential."—Publishers
