Hannu Rajaniemi Książki

Jean le Flambeur siedzi w więzieniu. I powinien w nim zostać. Oszust, łgarz, niezrównany złodziej, o którego wyczynach krążą legendy. Jego pochodzenie owiewa mgła tajemnicy, za to o jego niesławnych dokonaniach – takich jak wykradnięcie ziemskich antyków z Marsa czy włamanie do rozległego zeusmózgu i kradzież jego myśli – słyszeli wszyscy. Popełnił tylko jeden, jedyny błąd; nie udał mu się jeden skok. I teraz, jeśli chce odzyskać wolność, będzie musiał spróbować ponownie… Powieść Rajaniemiego to oszałamiająca hard SF – opowieść złodziejska, której motorem napędowym są jak najbardziej ludzkie motywy: zdrada, zemsta, zazdrość. Mocne oparcie w nauce, oryginalne pomysły i świetnie nakreślone postaci – oto debiut wyjątkowy pod każdym względem.

With his infectious love of storytelling in all its forms, his rich characterisation and his unrivalled grasp of thrillingly bizarre cutting-edge science, Hannu Rajaniemi has swiftly set a new benchmark for SF in the 21st century. And now with his third novel he completes the tale of his gentleman rogue, the many lives and minds of Jean de Flambeur. Influenced as much by the fin de siecle novels of Maurice leBlanc as he is by the greats of SF, Rajaniemi weaves intricate, warm capers through dazzling science, extraordinary visions of wild future and deep conjecture on the nature of reality and story. And now we find out what will happen to Jean, his employer Miele, the independently minded ship Perhonnen and the rest of a fractured and diverse humanity flung through the solar system.
