Riassunto

A space salvager and her partner make the discovery of a lifetime that just might change the universe in this wild, big-ideas space opera from multi award-winning author Elizabeth Bear.

Halmey Dz and her partner Connla Kurucz are salvage operators, living just on the inside of the law...usually. Theirs is the perilous and marginal existence—with barely enough chance of striking it fantastically big—just once—to keep them coming back for more. They pilot their tiny ship into the scars left by unsuccessful White Transitions, searching for the relics of lost human and alien vessels. But when they make a shocking discovery about an alien species that has been long thought dead, it may be the thing that could tip the perilous peace mankind has found into full-out war.

Energetic and electrifying, Ancestral Night is a dazzling new space opera, sure to delight fans of Alastair Reynolds, Iain M. Banks, and Peter F. Hamilton.

Recensione

* "Anyone who enjoys space opera, exploration of characters, and political speculation will love this outstanding novel...Amid a space opera resurgence, Bear’s novel sets the bar high." (Publishers Weekly, STARRED REVIEW)

"Offers plenty of big, bold, fascinating ideas...Impressive at the core." (Kirkus Reviews)

"Vivid, absorbing, and thrilling...Stands head and shoulders above nearly everything else." (Kirkus Reviews, on THE STONE IN THE SKULL)

"Rollicking, suspenseful, and sentimental." (Publishers Weekly, on KAREN MEMORY)

* "Considering the trilogy as a whole, the overused term masterpiece justifiably applies." (Kirkus Reviews, STARRED REVIEW, on STELES OF THE SKY)

“Bear concludes the epic begun in Range of Ghosts with her usual subversive flair.... The world of the Eternal Sky is a gorgeously fleshed-out one, and the characters without exception fascinating, sometimes maddening, and complex." (Booklist, on STELES OF THE SKY)

* “This lean, sinewy, visceral narrative, set forth in extraordinarily vivid prose full of telling detail, conveys a remarkable sense of time and place, where the characters belong to the landscape and whose personalities derive naturally from it.” (Kirkus Reviews, STARRED REVIEW, on RANGE OF GHOSTS)

“Fans of George R.R. Martin's Song of Ice and Fire series should welcome this gracefully told tale of war, political intrigue, and personal drama. Highly recommended.” (Library Journal, on RANGE OF GHOSTS)

“Elizabeth Bear sweeps the reader into a world of ravishing detail.” (Huffington Post, on THE STONE IN THE SKULL)

* “Glorious and dramatic.” (Publishers Weekly, STARRED REVIEW, on THE STONE IN THE SKULL)
