Stahovač by Neal Asher
5.0
Tak Stahovače jsem přečetl na doporučení Good reads a musím říct že tak drsnou psychedelickou jízdu jsem naposledy zažil u Vurtu Jeffa Noona. Jedná se o náhled na budoucnost galaktické civilizace, konkrétně na jednu planetu Spatterjay, kde velmi podivní virus zajišťuje lidem zdánlivou nesmrtelnost. Kniha obsahuje velmi rozdílné hlavní postavy – služebníka úlu, vzkříšenou mrtvolu, planetární UI nebo například tisíce let staré kapitány. I když je hlavních i vedlejších postav přehršel jsou všechny velmi výrazné a osobité. Autorovi také nedělá problém psychologii postav náležitě obhájit a uvěřitelně vysvětlit jejich chování. Prostě kdo jenom trochu měl rád Vurt je pro něho Stahovač jasná volba.

I have find Neal Asher by goodreads recommendation and I was blown away. Last time I experienced a similar psychedelic ride it was when I read Vurt from Jeff Noon. In The Skinner we can peek at a big galactic civilization but main story happens on the edge of this civilization on the planet Spatterjay where a peculiar virus make his inhabitants almost immortal. The book has several main and minor characters but all of them pulse with live and their motives are very clear. If you like Vurt a little bit then you would love The Skinner.
