Part SF thriller, part interstellar adventure, part noir crime, CENTURY RAIN is as astonishing bestseller from Alastair Reynolds

Three hundred years in the future, Verity Auger is a specialist in the archaeological exploration of Earth, rendered uninhabitable after the technological catastrophe known as the Nanocaust. After a field-trip goes badly wrong, Verity is forced to redeem herself by participating in a dangerous mission, for which her expertise in invaluable.

Using a back door into an unstable alien transit system, Auger's faction has discovered something astonishing at the far end of a wormhole: mid twentieth-century Earth, preserved like a fly in amber. Is it a window into the past, a simulation, or something else entirely?

CENTURY RAIN is a jaw-droppingly good SF thriller, packed with pace, adventure, brilliant storytelling and with twists that will keep you guessing to the end.

Críticas

In his latest SF novel, Reynolds (Absolution Gap) creates yet another quirky, noirish vision of humanity's future. Three centuries from now, a technologically induced catastrophe, the Nanocaust, makes Earth uninhabitable. Two versions of humanity—the Threshers, who live in a ring of habitats encircling Earth, and the Slashers, who inhabit the outer planets—each blame the other for the disaster. Both groups share access to a system of artificial wormholes, one of which turns out to contain a perfect copy of Earth, sealed off from the rest of the galaxy, at its far end. The Threshers send archeologist Verity Auger to investigate. On this subtly different version of Earth, Wendell Floyd, a second-rate detective and jazz musician living in Paris in the year 1959, is looking into a very odd murder. Then Auger shows up claiming to be the victim's sister and pursued by lethal creatures who look like decaying children. While Reynolds beautifully details this alternate-universe Paris and handles the developing mystery with aplomb, his Thresher and Slasher cultures lack depth and his climax feels a bit jury-rigged. Still, fans of sophisticated hard SF should be pleased.

Interesting Premise with Moving Characters

Reseñado en los Estados Unidos el 20 de agosto de 2023

Compra verificada

I ended up really liking this book. The premise is interesting, but it's explored with characters that I could relate to and whom I cared about. After reading the Inhibitor trilogy, which I liked, I've read Eversion and this book, and I've liked both of them better than the trilogy. And that's because in both of the latter two, I found myself caring more about the characters. I hope the author writes one or more sequels to this one.

Well. Some of the plot lines were lame and the scenes between Auger and Floyd were…really annoying. First time in a long time I’ve skim read chapters just to get through them. Reynolds is good but this is not his best work.

Muy recomendable novela de ciencia ficción del prolífico Alastair Reynolds, donde reflexiona de nuevo sobre las fragilidades de los avances científicos y sus riesgos imprevistos. Interesante y con personajes de verdadera dimensión humana.
