Ironclads

av Adrian Tchaikovsky
Inbunden,  Engelska, 2017-11-02

Slutsåld

Scions have no limits. Scions do not die. And Scions do not disappear. Sergeant Ted Regan has a problem. A son of one of the great corporate families, a Scion, has gone missing at the front. He should have been protected by his Ironclad - the lethal battle suits that make the Scions masters of war - but something has gone catastrophically wrong. Now Regan and his men, ill-equipped and demoralised, must go behind enemy lines, find the missing Scion, and uncover how his suit failed. Is there a new Ironclad-killer out there? And how are common soldiers lacking the protection afforded the rich supposed to survive the battlefield of tomorrow? A new standalone novella by the Arthur C Clarke Award-winning author of Children of Time.

Recensioner i media

"The wars of Tchaikovsky's future are brutal, inhuman, and strangely awe-inspiring in their horror." -- Liz Bourke, Locus Magazine -- Liz Bourke * Locus Magazine * "Ironclads dramatises the conflicts between rich and poor, right and left, public and private in a brutally satirical fashion. At the same time, it's an enormously entertaining story." -- SFcrowsnest * SFcrowsnest * "A smart, sharp look at warfare in a near future that may not be, but feels like a funhouse mirror on our present." -- Nerds of a Feather, Flock Together * nerds of a feather, flock together *
