Wolfhound Century: The Wolfhound Century, cartea 1
Autor Peter Higginsen Limba Engleză Paperback – 3 feb 2014
A
totalitarian
state,
worn
down
by
an
endless
war,
must
be
seen
to
crush
home-grown
insurgents
with
an
iron
fist.
But
Lom
discovers
Mirgorod
to
be
more
corrupted
than
he
imagined:
a
murky
world
of
secret
police
and
revolutionaries,
cabaret
clubs
and
doomed
artists.
Lom
has
been
chosen
because
he
is
an
outsider,
not
involved
in
the
struggle
for
power
within
the
party.
And
because
of
the
sliver
of
angel
stone
implanted
in
his
head.

Recenzii
"An
amazing,
fast-paced
story
in
a
fantasy
world
poised
dangerously
on
the
edge
of
quantum
probability,
a
world
where
angels
war
with
reality"—Peter
F.
Hamilton
"Sentient water, censored artists, mechanical constructs, old-fashioned detective work, and the secret police are all woven together in this rich and fascinating tapestry."—Publishers Weekly
"I absolutely loved WOLFHOUND CENTURY. Higgins's world is a truly original creation, Russian cosmism and Slavic mythology filtered through steampunk and le Carre. What really captured me was his beautiful style and language: his metaphors and associations flow smoothly like the waters of the Mir, and, like Lom without his angel stone, make you see the world in a new way."
—Hannu Rajaniemi
"Like vintage Mieville or Vandermeer, but with all the violent narrative thriller drive of Fleming at his edgiest. I fell intoWolfhound Centuryand devoured it in three days flat.Peter Higgins is a great discovery, a gifted writer with a route map to some fascinating new dark corners of the imagination, and a fine addition to the contemporary fantasy canon."
—Richard Morgan
"A dark new Soviet alternate history with angels... an alternate history that will grab you by the lapels and snap you to attention."—i09.com
"A brilliant exploitation of the power of fantasy: the tender green soul of Russian history set free for uncanny battle with its grey, gunmetal carapace."—Francis Spufford
