Beschreibung
';Part BioShock, part X-Files, part Sopranosand 100%, uncut Nickle ... a glorious, chaotic delight' from the Bram Stoker Awardwinning author of Volk (Peter Watts, author of Blindsight). PostCold War, a group of Russians bred from childhood to be psychic spies are called from around the globe to achieve their true purpose: world domination. But some of them have flourished in the lives they have carved out for themselvesoften in nefarious waysand they will not give up their freedom without a fight, even as a new generation of telepathic children, the beautiful dreamers, are coming into power... In Rasputin's Bastards, David Nicklethe acclaimed author of Eutopia, Monstrous Affections, and Volkoffers readers ';an enormous tale, bewilderingly complex, but with lots of twists and turns that reward close attention. It is grotesque, violent, and exciting, with a supernatural tinge that is his hallmark' (Cory Doctorow, BoingBoing). ';This novel is supernatural eeriness at its best, with intriguing characters, no clear heroes, and a dark passion at its heart. Horror aficionados and fans of Stephen King's larger novels should appreciate this macabre look at the aftermath of the Cold War.' Library Journal ';Stiffly compelling. Once you're done, there's no question: the hours spent enfolded in Nickle's imagination are well spent. You won't ever feel the desire to ask for them back.' January Magazine ';A journey from the depths of the sea, the heart of Mother Russia, to the darkest corners of the soul.' K. E. Bergdoll, The Crow's Caw
