Outlaw Planet

內容簡介

內容簡介 有時候，整個世界的命運，竟取決於一名一無所有的女人，以及她手中那把整個多元宇宙最聰明的槍……這是關於貝絲（Bess）的故事——或者說，那個後來被眾人稱為「瘋狗貝絲」的女人的故事；這也是關於她所佩帶的那把名為「Wakeful Slim」的槍的故事；更是關於在那之前攜帶這把槍的死者和他留在槍裡那縷殘魂的故事；一段敘述她如何從一名教師轉變為叛徒，最終成為一名英雄的傳奇。這同時也是一場跨維度戰爭中，最後幾場暴力交鋒的紀實——那是多元宇宙所見最殘酷的戰爭之一。這就是貝絲如何發現世界真相的過程。她走過了一段艱難的道路，歷經痛苦、失去與不計代價的殺戮，真相如烙印在她的靈魂深處。一旦她看清了真相——確切地知道自己被利用得有多慘——她別無選擇，只能起身反抗。來自科幻界最原創、最具革命性的聲音，帶來一段與眾不同的故事。復仇，總是伴隨著代價……From one of genre fiction’s most original and revolutionary voices comes a space opera adventure like no other. Sometimes the fate of entire worlds can be decided by a woman with nothing to lose, and the smartest gun in the multiverse in her hand . . .“The production of a brilliant imagination . . . His best novel yet.”—SFXThis is the story of Bess - or Dog-Bitch Bess as she came to be known. It's the story of the gun she carried, whose name was Wakeful Slim. It's the story of the dead man who carried that gun before her and left a piece of himself inside it. And it's the tale of how she turned from teacher, to renegade, and ultimately to hero.This is also the tale of the last violent engagements in an inter-dimensional war - one of the most brutal the multiverse had ever seen.This is how Bess learned the truth about her world. Came to it the hard way, through pain and loss and the reckless spilling of blood, and carried it with her like a brand on her soul. And once she knew it - knew for sure how badly she'd been used - she had no option but to do something about it.

各界推薦

各界推薦 "Outlaw Planet is a sweeping story of petty violence and heartbreaking loss, set against a backdrop of unimaginably vast interdimensional conflict. Tragic and hopeful, it is at its heart a story of love, vengeance, redemption and the freedom to choose to be something more." ―Claire North, author of The First Fifteen Lives of Henry August"Classic (almost creaky) Western and science fiction tropes collide to brilliant, fresh effect... Another enjoyable and earnest effort by Carey to celebrate autonomy and sentience in all its forms." ―Kirkus"This is a story that readers will start to read more slowly as it gets near the conclusion because they won't want it to end. Carey has written other books on the Pandominion where animals are anthropomorphized (Infinity Gate, 2023), but this one blends sf and Western like no other." ―Booklist
