 "Adam Connell creates a realistic future in this darkly humorous and gritty novel. Against this backdrop, Mr. Connell delivers us a group of multi-layered and vivid characters... The science is well integrated into the plot and Connell excels at writing both action scenes and the more intimate scenes between the characters. Adam Connell is clearly an author to watch." -- Readers Read "If you're looking for the more gritty science fiction--where you're not going to see gleaming white starships flying through the cosmos, but something far more realistic--then this is the book to pick up." -- Sci-Fi Overdrive  "Connell's prose is often simultaneously hilariously funny and deadly sharp; like a Quentin Tarantino of the science fiction world, Connell brings the reader's attention to details so minute and yet so brutal that they burn holes in the pages." -- Wigglefish.com  "Adam Connell's Counterfeit Kings represents another kind of science fiction altogether." -- The New York Times Book Review "It is one hell of a roller-coaster ride--No, I take that back. Roller coasters have ups and downs; this is pure acceleration, an adrenaline-injected, pulse-pounding, no-holds-barred, all-out adventure." -- Nth Degree Bemerkenswerte Listen
Counterfeit Kings is science fiction that transcends the genre and stands shoulder to shoulder with the best new novels of this decade. Set around a colony of gas mines hovering over lo, Jupiter's moon the central character is Horrocks, a man determined to preserve a way of life that is horrifying, yet which he is afraid to lose. Following an assassination attempt, the colony's leader, the king, goes into hiding, leaving chaos in his wake. Horrocks, once his protector, sets out to restore status quo by finding him. First he must unmask the Ringers, a cadre of treacherous bodyguards surgically altered to resemble the king. Keine Bibliotheksbeschreibungen gefunden. |
