Adira ao LibraryThing para descobrir se irá gostar deste livro. Ainda não há conversas na Discussão sobre este livro. Lucius Shepard's first novel. Only so-so. I don't like his stories that are set inside the U.S. so much; they're like second-rate Stephen King. Read the classic Life During Wartime instead. sem críticas | adicionar uma crítica
Life the second time around is short, strange and terrifying to the awakened. One "zombie", victim of a bizarre scientific obsession, breaks away, leaving a trail of muder and miracle as he flees the Project and the horror his "life" hasbecome. Não foram encontradas descrições de bibliotecas. |

One is struck by how completely Shepard as a writer had become himself, even at this early stage in his career. The heat and humidity of the bayou, the marginal protagonist moving through a series of lushly vegetated, eerie scenes, the liminal menace, the fine writing interspersed with passages of florid description: all present. He's best known for novella-length work, but here and in A Handbook of American Prayer, it's clear he could write novels just as well.
I bought this book in 1984, and just read it now for the first time - pays to hang on to books, no? The year 1984 was vintage for SF&F, seeing the first-novel debuts of William Gibson (Neuromancer) and Kim Stanley Robinson (The Wild Shore), both, like the Shepard, "Ace Science Fiction Specials." There's a skippable introduction by editor Terry Carr.
Not in the front rank of Shepard's fiction, but gripping and thoughtful. ( )
