Condición: Sehr gut. Zustand: Sehr gut | Seiten: 308 | Sprache: Englisch | Produktart: Bücher | Only one person can warn the Venusians about an astronomical catastrophe but he is an android slave. High in the clouds of Venus, the Venusians live in three glorious floating citadels while the androids known as Automatons labor on its surface.Both feared and admired, the intelligent Automatons have been outlawed. As a last resort to keep the few remaining alive, they're banished to toil below. Escape is impossible, and most do not have a concept of freedom. With suspicions they are sentient, many colonists are against their ruthless sacrifice for the benefit of humanity. Yet disruption of their vital mining of ore and geo-engineering, would doom the cities to failure. When strange events involve Terik, the son of the cities founder, and Joules, the daughter of an inventor, questions of sentience seem confirmed when they happen upon a super intelligent android named Jarvis. Built by the automatons they realize they must help him survive and convey his warning about an approaching comet from the Scattered Disc.Thrust into moral conflicts, survival and political battles, Terik and Joules are drawn together in a profound friendship as they risk their lives to help Jarvis, and get his message to city leaders. In a classic future that is drawn between between good and evil, fear and courage, life and transformation, they face a new world, knowing the fate of the Automations and the Venusians will change forever.…
