Light (Kefahuchi Tract) [Idioma Inglés]: A Novel: 1 - Tapa blanda

"Uproarious, breath-taking, exhilarating . . . This is a novel of full spectrum literary dominance. . . . It is a work of--and about--the highest order."--Guardian

"An increasingly complex and dazzling narrative . . . Light depicts its author as a wit, an awesomely fluent and versatile prose stylist, and an SF thinker as dedicated to probing beneath surfaces as William Gibson is to describing how the world looks when reflected in them. . . . SF fans and skeptics alike are advised to head towards this Light."--Independent

"Light is a literary singularity: at one and the same time a grim, gaudy space opera that respects the physics, and a contemporary novel that unflinchingly revisits the choices that warp a life. It's almost unbearably good."--Ken MacLeod, author of Engine City

"At last M. John Harrison takes on quantum mechanics. The first classic of the quantum century, Light is a folded-down future history bound together by quantum exotica and human endurance. Taut as Hemingway, viscerally intelligent, startlingly uplifting, Harrison's ideas have a beauty that unpacks to infinity."--Stephen Baxter, award-winning author of Evolution and Coalescent

"Harrison's novel is a cleverly assembled contemplation of how choices make lives and of opening quantum mechanical doors on bizarre potential futures."--Booklist

"Surely one of the best novels of the year . . . Deeply satisfying . . . the final chapters are a marvel of transcendence, reconciliation and redemption."--San Francisco Chronicle Books

"Brilliant, reality-bending SF . . . This is space opera for the intelligensia."--Publishers Weekly (starred review)

"Succeeds in evoking the sense of wonder that science fiction readers look for in the best of the genre . . . Harrison brings an up-to-date sensibility to the hoary conceits of science fiction."--The New York Times Book Review

"Light is mind-bending in both its conceptual framework and literary deftness."--Entertainment Weekly

The stories of three people--modern-day Michael Kearney who plays a part in a discovery that will make interstellar travel possible; Seria Mau Genlicher, a spaceship pilot modified to interact directly with her ship; and Ed Chainese, a down-and-out drifter and adventurer, living in New Venusport--are linked by the mysteries of the Kefahuchi Tract. Original. 25,000 first printing.. NOTA: El libro no está en español, sino en inglés.
