1 de feb. de 2009 · Part hard SF thriller, part interstellar adventure, part noir romance, CENTURY RAIN is the new bestseller from Al Reynolds. Three hundred years in the future, Verity Auger is a specialist in the archaeological exploration of Earth, rendered uninhabitable after the technological catastrophe known as the Nanocaust.
I've never read anything quite like Alistair Reynolds's astonishing "Century Rain." A noir whodunnit that turns into a spy chase that turns into a space opera of epic proportions, it's set several centuries from now, where the Earth has suffered some sort of biological castrophe instigated by the law of unintended consequences.

"Century Rain" is set in a future where Earth has been destroyed by nanotechnology. On scary nanotechnology I had recently read "Prey" by Crichton, however, the main theme here is something else. I do not like at all post-apocalyptic stories, but the so-called nanocaust spoken of in this book is just a detail of the plot and defines the environment in which the story moves.

7 de jun. de 2005 · Reynolds ist ein begnadeter Autor. Chasm City ist die beste Science Fiction, die ich je gelesen habe. Und auch Century Rain ist ein Meisterstück, aber ein sehr unkonventionelles. Ich habe lange davor zurückgeschreckt, das Buch überhaupt zu erwerben, weil mir die angekündigte Story doch sehr konstruiert erschien.
