Adira ao LibraryThing para descobrir se irá gostar deste livro. Ainda não há conversas na Discussão sobre este livro. Good series. Second one the weakest. Who's to blame? The whole universe is falling apart. Is genocide ever acceptable? ............................................................................................ Roche and crew follow the escaped Wonderkind to Sol system, and discover everybody else has headed there too. Castes and factions she's never even heard rumors of, have all congregated in this one system, and as humanity is always wont, old feuds break out almost immediately. Some of also involve Roche as her crew and it's own Wonderkind have a lot of questions in their past. One of the bigger players is a vast ship called the Hegemony, supporting only the Pristines. Bigotry is in-built sometimes. Roche goes searching more answers. It all gets wrapped up quite finally but in the end I'm not sure what the point was. I prefer Science Fiction to be based on extrapolating modern society or the impact of technologies... something sort of relevant, and I leave Fantasy settings to 'just' telling stories. And there just ins;t quite that depth here, other than look after your friends. sem críticas | adicionar uma crítica

The ruins of Sol System have been empty for thousands of years. A place of death and mystery, it is shunned by all--until now. DEADLINE TO DESTRUCTION: Renegade intelligence agent Morgan Roche arrives hot on the heels of the clone warriors--enemies she has been charged by the High Humans to stop before they destroy everything. What she finds--the largest fleet assembled in half a million years, with no central authority, no-one in charge--threatens to stretch her resources beyond their limit. There, under the light of the star called Sol, Morgan Roche will uncover the final truth about the AI called The Box, about the man called Adoni Cane, and about the High Human called the Crescend. That truth will cost her dearly... "Space opera of the ambitious, galaxy-spanning sort" --New York Review of SF "Space opera, like its grand musical cousin, couldn't exist without duplicity, ambition, lust, stupidity, and greed, and by the time the fat lady sings, whole worlds can be laid waste - and, oddly enough, it's this recognition of pain and evil as the generating forces of adventure that make A Dark Imbalance so satisfying." --Locus "A story that twists and turns back on itself and keeps the reader always off-balance. There is danger, adventure and a labyrinth of loyalties. Excellent." --SF Site Winner of the Aurealis Award.
