The only hope for the exhausted crew is an illegal lab in a distant binary solar system and that means a journey of unpredictable dangers from which they may not return ...

Punisher is on the run from Billingate Space Station, as well as other predators that follow: UMCP Enforcement Division director Min Donner aboard a crippled Punisher, Nick's archenemy (and slave to the aliens) Sorus Chatelaine aboard Soar, and the mysterious hired gun, Free Lunch. Corrupt cyborg Angus Thermopyle and ruthless Nick Succorso battle for control of the ship and the situation. Their trail leads to Valdor Industrial, where geneticist/engineer Vector Shaheed seeks to redeem himself by manufacturing an antidote to the mutagen used by the alien Amnioni to mutate human beings against their will. Brutalized yet resilient Morn Hyland, her clone/son Davies, tough officer Mikki, Pup, Sib, and the rest continue their suffering and sacrificing.
Meanwhile, back in Earth space, police and politicians battle for power as UMCP director Dios continues his grim revolution against the Dragon. Assassin kazes, political fears, and provocative bills threaten to paralyze the Governing Council for Earth and Space.
Ships battling in space? Laboratory space stations developing antimutagen antidotes against the aliens who seek to conquer humankind by mutation? Outrage, brutality, betrayal, and secrets? Donaldson lays it all out with sharp dialogue, tense scenes, and zippy action. -- Dieser Text bezieht sich auf eine andere Ausgabe: Taschenbuch .

I think this book is the most compelling and powerful in the entire Gap Cycle. All the main characters come into their own power fully in this book. Yes, even Ciro, in his own way. Of special note is the fact that not until all secrets are revealed can the characters begin to unravel the tapestry of events that has enshrouded them. Morn's forgiveness towards Angus makes her a great heroine. This one will keep you in suspense all the way through.

Donaldson continues to write the most engaging, thought provoking, mind-blowing science fiction around. This series is not for the lazy. If you're willing to put in the effort and intelligence Donaldson demands to keep up with the story, it promises to be one of the best series you'll ever read, period.

Von Loren Rosson III

The fourth book in the Gap Series is nearly as excellent as its predecessor, "A Dark and Hungry God Arises". Angus and crew flee Billingate, and a rip-roaring space-chase ensues. Aboard the ship "Trumpet", Angus, Nick, Morn, and other remnants of Nick's old crew find themselves bound together in an unholy alliance as they flee countless pursuers -- the Amnion, the UMCP, and a mercenary paid to destroy them. The big question is who will get to them first. Eventually, "Trumpet's" crew dock at a space-lab so that Vector Shaheed can complete a special formula the Amnion would kill for. Meanwhile, Nick -- ever true to character -- begins inflicting his trademark sadism and cruelty on his "allies". When pursuing ships finally converge on "Trumpet", the ensuing space-battle is one of the most memorable in science-fiction drama. (And there is an absolutely priceless scene involving Angus going EVA in the midst of it all.) Just when you're ready to breathe again, you're assailed by more chaotic and mind-numbing action. Without question the most fast-paced installment in the Gap Series. Catch your breath after this one, then read the satisfying conclusion, "This Day All Gods Die".

Vom Mittelmaß zur Totgeburt

Really Smart Science-Fiction
It is seldom that one sees Sci-Fi with as much attention to detail as the Gap cycle. More to the point, it is not often that one sees Sci-Fi, with the possible exception of... Lesen Sie weiter...

Horribly fascinating !
Donaldson has a very special way of describing his caracters. He descibes perfectly the most hideous and vile persons/creature ... but is it the bad guy or the hero ... Lesen Sie weiter...

Maddening and Chaotic
Although I am a Donaldson fan, I confess my infatuation with his work is at best ambivalent. "Chaos" I found to be entirely too chaotic. Lesen Sie weiter...

Possibly the finest Science Fiction series of the century.
The Gap Series, opened with a weak volly across the bow, blows into the most powerful, dramatic, and tense series of the century. I firmly believe that Mr. Lesen Sie weiter...

When you thought things couldn't get any more chaotic. . .
Donaldson has returned to the splendid level of maturity and complexity he established as his own in the first Thomas Covenant series. In fact he exceeded all of my expectations. Lesen Sie weiter...
