Carregando... Revengerde Alastair Reynolds
  
Ainda não há conversas na Discussão sobre este livro.  5t4n5 | Aug 9, 2023 |  Nice language that strangely feels Victorian and suggests pirate stories like Treasure Island. (  ) Castinet | Dec 11, 2022 | Adventure and revenge in a world of photon sailing spaceships, buccaneers seeking treasure in "baubles" from ancient civilizations, revenge and a secret quest for answers Adrana and Fura Ness are the usual bored young adult girls escaping to find adventure on the legendary Captain Rackamore's ship. They are both Bone Readers - they use ancient skulls as communication devices in space. They are taken by Bosa Sennen, a legendary space pirate, separated with Adrana held prisoner. Fura hides with the help of another crew member, escapes, swears she will find her sister and kill Bosa Sennen. The technology of space travel is as realistic as possible, there are escapes, adventures, betrayals and battles, the prose is not too simple, and the plot has several turns and surprising revelations. (  ) neurodrew | May 28, 2022 | The first 100 pages set the scenerio by have the 2 sisters run away from home into deep space. And then all hell breaks loose. The backround of stellar civilizations growing up and inhabiting the remnants of the many previous civilizations, only to fade away...making room for the next, is very intriguing. That it's a YA story is not to its discredit, but the intense needle-point focus on revenge leads to a very unsatisfactory ending. I'm not all that interested in reading the rest of the trilogy--but not saying I won't. If I had any hope that the good guys would remain good, I would be more interested. Meanwhile, there is plenty enough action and tension to suck you along past the corny moments. (  ) majackson | Apr 29, 2022 | This is my eighteenth Alastair Reynolds novel. I pretty much ordered it without doing any research, because after eighteen tries, I had yet to hit a dud (to be honest Century Rain and Slow Bullets were not great). And I would not so much label this a dud, as just different than his previous books. Turns out it is a YA title, and that is soon obvious. There is none of the outstanding hard science fiction found in his previous works. The story essentially follows two young girls who take to space in an attempt to rescue their Dad from poverty. It is very simply written and the dialogue is atrocious. For some reason, in the far future, everyone talks like a pirate. Unfortunately, I purchased all three books in the series, so will likely read them all. ( ) santhony | Apr 14, 2022 | sem resenhas | adicionar uma resenha

"The galaxy has seen great empires rise and fall. Planets have shattered and been remade. Amongst the ruins of alien civilizations, building our own from the rubble, humanity still thrives. And there are vast fortunes to be made, if you know where to find them ... Captain Rackamore and his crew do. It's their business to find the tiny, enigmatic worlds which have been hidden away, booby-trapped, surrounded with layers of protection - and to crack them open for the ancient relics and barely-remembered technologies inside. But while they ply their risky trade with integrity, not everyone is so scrupulous. Adrana and Fura Ness are the newest members of Rackamore's crew, signed on to save their family from bankruptcy. Only Rackamore has enemies, and there might be more waiting for them in space than adventure and fortune: the fabled and feared Bosa Sennen in particular. Revenger is a science fiction adventure story set in the rubble of our solar system in the dark, distant future - a tale of space pirates, buried treasure and phantom weapons, of unspeakable hazards and single-minded heroism ... and of vengeance . ."-- Não foram encontradas descrições de bibliotecas. |

But, i suppose, every writer may wish to have a try at some YA stuff occasionally. I just really hope that Alastair doesn't ever do it again, thank you.
I mean, let's be serious, a child who isn't even old enough to leave home, escapes and takes on the system's most feared and devastating pirate? Really? And adults just fall over themselves to do her bidding?
But, as i'm committed to reading the whole of Alastair's writings, i must continue with this farcical trilogy and see where it leads.
So next up it will be Shadow Captain.
Bye for now. (
