War Dogs: War Dogs, cartea 1
Autor Greg Bearen Limba Engleză Paperback – 20 iul 2015
AN
EPIC
INTERSTELLAR
TALE
OF
WAR
FROM
A
MASTER
OF
SCIENCE
FICTION.
One
more
tour
on
the
red.
Maybe
my
last.
They
made
their
presence
on
Earth
known
thirteen
years
ago.
Providing
technology
and
scientific
insights
far
beyond
what
mankind
was
capable
of.
They
became
indispensable
advisors
and
promised
even
more
gifts
that
we
just
couldn't
pass
up.
We
called
them
Gurus.
It
took
them
a
while
to
drop
the
other
shoe.
You
can
see
why,
looking
back.
It
was
a
very
big
shoe,
completely
slathered
in
crap.
They
had
been
hounded
by
mortal
enemies
from
sun
to
sun,
planet
to
planet,
and
were
now
stretched
thin
--
and
they
needed
our
help.
And
so
our
first
bill
came
due.
Skyrines
like
me
were
volunteered
to
pay
the
price.
As
always.
These
enemies
were
already
inside
our
solar
system
and
were
moving
to
establish
a
beachhead,
but
not
on
Earth.
On
Mars.

adrenaline-pumping
action
and
mystifying
ambiguity,

is
a
tempest
of
rousing
SF
adventure
with
a
dash
of
Peckinpah."—Publishers
Weekly
on
War
Dogs
"Packed with adventure and incident...and conveyed with gritty realism."—Kirkus on War Dogs
"Military sci-fi, action and adventure, and a whole lot of thought-provoking complexity."—San Diego Union-Tribune on War Dogs
"Bear, as a writer, seems almost more at home on the deadly flats of Mars...than he does back on planet Earth."—NPR Books on War Dogs
"Greg Bear's voice is a resonant, clear chord of quality binding some of the best SF of the 20th Century to the short list of science-savvy, sophisticated, top-notch speculative fiction of the 21st. More than a grace note,Hull Zero Threeis a compelling allegro in the growing symphony of Greg Bear's finest work."—Dan Simmons
"Hull Zero Threeis a grand adventure of scientific discovery in the tradition of "Orphans of the Sky" and "Rendezvous with Rama" -- by turns chilling and touching, it poses challenging questions about what it means to be human."—Charles Stross
"Hull Zero Threeis a lean, mean, supercharged sense-of-wonder engine."—Alastair Reynolds on Hull Zero Three
"Not for those who prefer their space opera simple-minded, this beautifully written tale where nothing is as it seems will please readers with a well-developed sense of wonder."—Publisher's Weekly (starred review) on Hull Zero Three
"Greg Bear is one contemporary master of the old ways, and inHull Zero Threehe gives the generation starship theme - crystallized beautifully by Robert Heinlein in 1941's "Universe" - a vigorous makeover...."—bn.com
"The heart of the mystery is worthy of Bear in its bravura extrapolations into far-future science and moral ambiguity...a testament of faith both in human beings and in something beyond them, divine or indistinguishable from it, and it seems directed as much toward the world of today, with all its sinful affections and deceits, as it is toward the far future."—Locus on Hull Zero Three
"I lovedHull Zero Three- this book reminds me of why I fell in love with science fiction in the first place. Searing questions of humanity, a good old fashioned riddle of a plot, and excellent conceptualization makeHull Zero Threemore than worth the effort."—thebooksmugglers.com
