Fantasy & SciFi
Six million years ago, at the very dawn of the starfaring era, Abigail Gentian fractured herself into a thousand male and female clones: the shatterlings. Sent out into the galaxy, these shatterlings have stood aloof as they document the rise and fall of countless human empires. They meet every 200,000 years to exchange news and memories of their travels with their siblings.
Not only are Campion and Purslane late for their thirty-second reunion but they have also brought along an amnesiac golden robot for a guest. But the wayward shatterlings get more than the scolding they expect: they face the discovery that someone has a very serious grudge against the Gentian line, and there is a very real possibility of traitors in their midst. The surviving shatterlings have to dodge exotic weapons while they regroup to try to solve the mystery of who is persecuting them and why-before their ancient line is wiped out of existence forever.

En lite väl komplicerad story. Men otroligt bombastisk i sin stil. Värd att läsa.

Inget som inspirerar till fortsatt läsning av hans böcker tyvärr.

Väldigt välskriven och intressant, hoppas verkligen att det antingen kommer en film baserat på boken eller fler böcker! Konceptet med tid och civilisationer, robotar och människor var iallafall för mig väldigt nyskapande inom sci-fi genren.

Intressant bok. Den första jag läst av denna författare. Fick den rekommenderad. Skulle 3,5 stjärnor om jag kunde. Läsvärd med flera intressanta koncept.
