Surface Detail. Iain M. Banks911 руб
It begins with a murder. It begins in the realm of the Real, where matter still matters. Lededje Ybreq is one of the Intagliated, her marked body bearing witness to a family shame, her life belonging to a man whose lust for power is without limit. And it will not end until the Culture has gone to war with death itself. Benevolent, enlightened and almost infinitely resourceful though it may be, the Culture can only do so much for any individual. Prepared to risk everything for her freedom, her release, when it comes, is at a price, and to put things right she will need the help of the Culture. A war - brutal, far-reaching - is already raging within the digital realms that store the souls of the dead, and its about to erupt into reality. With the assistance of one of its most powerful - and arguably deranged - warships, Lededje finds herself heading into a combat zone not even sure which side the Culture is really on. It will touch countless lives and affect entire civilizations, but at the center of it all is a young woman whose need for revenge masks another motive altogether. It started in the realm of the Real and that is where it will end. 2010. SURFACE DETAIL is Iain M.Banks new Culture novel, a breathtaking achievement from a writer whose body of work is without parallel in the modern history of science fiction. |
