Very slow build up followed by lots of action at the very end. ( ) I found this third novel in Kage Baker’s Company series less intriguing than the others. There is no real coherent plot or central conflict. Mendoza is just hanging around Los Angeles in the mid nineteenth century. About two thirds into the book, she meets the clone of her lover from the sixteenth century and immediately jumps into bed with him. His new incarnation is as a British spy working to secure California for the empire and Mendoza allows him to manipulate her into helping him - actually encourages him to manipulate her into helping him. As an emotionally unstable and impulsive teenager, this kind of behavior was believable in the first Company novel, “In the Garden of Iden,” but it just did not ring true for me for a three-hundred year old cyborg. You can safely skip this novel and continue on with “The Graveyard Game." aucune critique | ajouter une critique
Appartient à la sérieThe Company (3) Est contenu dans
This is the third novel in what has become one of the most popular series in contemporary SF, now back in print from Tor. In the 24th century, the Company preserves works of art and extinct forms of life, for profit, of course. It recruits orphans from the past, renders them all but immortal, and trains them to serve the Company, Dr. Zeus. One of these is Mendoza the botanist. The death of her lover has been followed by centuries of heartbreak. She spends a period of time in early twentieth century Hollywood in the days of D.W. Griffith, and then Mendoza is in the midst of the Civil War, and runs into a man that looks disturbingly similar to her lost love. She is about to find love again, and be in more trouble than she could ever have imagined. At the Publisher's request, this title is being sold without Digital Rights Management Software (DRM) applied. Aucune description trouvée dans une bibliothèque |
