Destroyer of Light
批評家のレビュー
2021, Kirkus Reviews Best Books of the Year
“Destroyer of Light is proof positive that we're living in a new golden age of science fiction.” (Charlie Jane Anders, Hugo Award-winning author)
“Destroyer of Light grapples with themes of both the human and post-human experience in a way that is wholly original and seductively engaging. Brissett builds a richly layered and imaginative world that reflects much of our own — the good, the brutal, and the truly monstrous — while daring us to dream of something more. This is a tale not only of becoming and transformation, but about the choices we make that bring us to our destinations. In a time of new, meaningful, and thrilling science fiction, Destroyer of Light is a must read.” (P. Djèlí Clark, Hugo Finalist and author of The Haunting of Tram Car 015)
"[A] dark, poetic tale of struggling human colonists and ambiguously motivated aliens on a distant planet. Brissett uses the alien setting to explore contemporary issues, including racism, the complexities of allyship, and the trauma experienced by child soldiers. The author’s updated take on a classic myth is both clever and entertaining...Richly developed and profound" (Kirkus, Starred Review)
あらすじ・解説
Reminiscent of Miéville and Butler, Jennifer Marie Brissett, author of Elysium, has created a disturbing and haunting science-fiction narrative in Destroyer of Light, interweaving mythology with interdimensional aliens, human refugees, child soldiers, and genetic engineering.
Over 300 years in the future, all humans on the planet Eleusis are refugees following the alien destruction of Earth.
Within this society of haves and have-nots, of criminals and dissidents, of former alien conquerors claiming a desire for peaceful cohabitation, three stories intertwine: a young girl abducted by a violent warlord, twin brothers searching for the lost son of a human/alien couple, and a young woman with extraordinary powers who’s risen through the insurgent ranks in the borderlands called Night.
Their stories skate across years to build toward one moment, when the fate of all - human and alien - hangs in the balance.
