Quantum Gravity, book 2; Selling Out, Justina Robson
Paperback (klein), goede staat, leesvouwen op de rug, lichte gebruikerssporen aan hoekjes en vergeelde blz, eerste druk 2007, Gollancz
A heroine who’s half robot and all attitude, a world of quantum strangeness; SF that has remembered how to have fun, from the UK’s most sucessful female SF writer.
Lila Black is going to Hell.
Ever since the Quantum Bomb of 2015 things have been different; the dimensions have fused and suddenly our world is accessible to elves, demons, ghosts and elementals … and their worlds are open to us. Special Agent Lila Black has been different too: tortured and magic-scarred by elves, re-built by humans into a half-robot, part-AI, nuclear-fuelled walking arsenal, and carrying the essence of a dead elven necromancer in her chest, sometimes she has trouble figuring out who she really is. And that’s without mentioning that her boyfriend’s a half-elf, half-demon international rock-star.
So a mission to Hell isn’t exactly what she needs.
The heart of art, of pleasure, sensuality and politics, Demonia is glorious and terrible. And, an assassination attempt, three marriage proposals and one ruined dress after her arrival, it seems Demonia might be more complicated than Lila thought …
Justina Robson’s new series is a joyful melding of science fiction and fantasy brought together in the figure of the dangerously lovely Lila Black, a 21-year-old secret agent who’s had much of her body replaced with weapon-and-armor-heavy intelligent metal and who isn’t sure where her mind ends and her installed AI begins. Lila’s world is one where demons, elves, and elementals live alongside people. And somehow Lila and the other agents of the security agency have to provide security for all and stay alive themselves.
