Bye for now. (  ) 5t4n5 | Aug 9, 2023 |  ) malcrf | Oct 16, 2022 | The third and final book in the Revenger series The sisters are completely in command of the Revenger, but chased by a squadron of ships funded by banks and rich families who had suffered in the rearrangement of the quoins. The sisters separated, Adrana making it to Trevannzza Reach, and delivering the clacker to a literally underground revolutionary movement. Adrafura fights a furious battle with the squadron, losing, but when the squadron commander boards the Revenger, Strambli, now completely turned into a Ghostie alien, destroys the boarding party, and Adrafura captures the commander. The Reach turns out to have an engine, that the clacker somehow gets started, and as the revolution starts, the underground movement takes over, moves the world a bit to demonstrate independence. The Reach continues to move, ending up at the whale ship, and all of the mysteries of the quoins, The Reach, and the multiple occupations of the Sundered worlds are resolved. (  ) neurodrew | Sep 7, 2022 | As in the first two books of the series, the story essentially follows two young girls who took to space in an attempt to rescue their dad from poverty. After taking command of a spaceship and its ragtag crew, the sisters find themselves the target of what passes for the “establishment” power of what remains of the Sol system. Several “mysteries” are “solved” by the two young women, as they seek to reform the corrupt socio-economic system in place at the time. There is no heavy lifting here, as the author’s economic explanations and proposals are laughably naïve, even in a YA setting. Having read the entire series, I cant say that I can recommend it, unless you have read everything else written by Reynolds and Peter Hamilton (and others too numerous to name) and are desperate for something to read.

'A swashbuckling thriller - Pirates of the Caribbean meets Firefly - that nevertheless combines the author's trademark hard SF with effective, coming-of-age characterisation' GUARDIAN 'A blindingly clever imagining of our solar system in the far flung future' SUN Return to the Revenger universe, for another thrilling tale set among the stars . . . Quoins are accepted currency throughout the thousands of worlds of the Congregation. Ancient, and of unknown origin and purpose, people have traded with them, fought for them, and stolen quoin hordes from booby-trapped caches at risk to life and limb throughout the Thirteen Occupations. Only now it's becoming clear they have another purpose . . . as do the bankers who've been collecting them. The Occupations themselves are another puzzle. The rise and fall of civilisation may have been unevenly spaced across history, but there is also a pattern. Could something be sparking the Occupations - or ending them? And if so, what could it be, lurking far beyond the outermost worlds of the Congregation? The Ness sisters are being hunted for crimes they didn't commit by a fleet whose crimes are worse than their own. If they're to survive, and stay one step ahead of their pursuers - if they're to answer the questions which have plagued them - it's going to require every dirty, piratical trick in the book . . . 'By far the most enjoyable book Reynolds has ever written' SFX Não foram encontradas descrições de bibliotecas. |
