The Human Son de Adrian J Walker

The Human Son

Autor Adrian J Walker
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 17 sep 2020
Five hundred years in the future, Earth is a paradise... without us.

The Earth was dying, and only the Erta could save it. Created by humans to be genetically superior, hyper-intelligent and unburdened by the full range of human emotions, they succeeded by removing the cause: the human race.

Years later, the Erta are faced with a dilemma – should they reintroduce the rebellious and violent Homo Sapiens to the Earth? And if they do, will all their work be undone?

To find their answers, they decide to raise just one child: a sole human to determine if they should once more inherit the Earth.

But Ima, the quiet and clinical Erta selected for the task, finds that there is more to raising a human than she expected. As she grows to love the child in her care, only one question remains: is humanity truly a lost cause, or is there hope for them yet?

Recenzii

"Adrian Walker's books always have big ideas that make me think, I wish I'd thought of that! But like any great writer it's the more intimate aspects to his writing, the humour and humanity, that really makes his work shine. The Human Son is another winner." -- Tim Lebbon, author of Eden
“A real find.” —Stephen King on The End of the World Running Club
“Adrian Walker breaks your heart in unexpected ways.” -- Anne Corlett, author of The Space Between the Stars
“The Human Son delivers a story that fosters a curious mind and an open heart, questioning and inspiring both without judgement.” -- SciFiNow
“There's a dark note of comedy... but things soon take a turn for the profound." -- SFX
"A prevailing mood of ironic charm." -- The Times
“This impressive, surprisingly hopeful take is as rigorous as a thought experiment as it is delightful as pure entertainment.” -- Publishers Weekly starred review
“Enthralling from the opening line, The Human Son is grounded and heart-rending, a human and hopeful entry to the library of post-apocalyptic literature.” -- Aurealis
“The Human Son is a novel of emotional depth and maturity, handled by a writer at the top of his game, tackling philosophical topics with page turning effortlessness.” -- Storgy Magazine

Descriere

The new guardians of Earth, the genetically engineered Erta, have reversed climate change. They are now faced with a dilemma; if they reintroduce the rebellious and violent Homo Sapiens, all of their work will be undone. They decide to raise one final child; a sole human to help decide if humanity should again inherit the Earth.
