In a universe linked by the instantaneous communications of the Silent, who can even possess the bodies of other Silent in order to deliver messages, a new kind of Silent arises: a boy who can possess the non-Silent, threatening to trigger a new wave of violence against the Silent, who are already often enslaved. Against the background of contending empires, a few Children of Irfan (a group of Silent who serve a particular empire) try to save the boy—or at least use him for their own purposes. Pros: complicated worldbuilding where everybody’s got a point of view; sexual, racial, and ideological diversity. Cons: slavery is a big part of the worldbuilding, not being fought by anybody in the novel, and while that was plausible under their circumstances and it was not “yay slavery” in any way, I found it really depressing to read. ( ) Humanity met aliens and discovered the Dream. The dream is a plane of existence where people can communicate psionically. Genetic engineering breeds humans who can do this. These humans are known as the Silent. Rust is nothing amazing in the Empire of Human Unity, except for the fact that there might be a child here who is causing tremors in the Dream. A monastic-like order of the Silent are looking for him to train and control him, as do many other world government. It's interesting but it's quite weak in parts, I lost interest several times. I won't be hunting for the next in the series as it's not really my thing but the author does show promise. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione

It is through first contact with an alien species that humanity learns of the Dream. It is a plane of mental existence where people are able to communicate by their thoughts alone--over distances of thousands of light-years. To ensure that future generations will have this ability, human genetic engineering produces newborns capable of finding and navigating the Dream. They become known as the Silent. Rust is just one planet among many in the Empire of Human Unity. It's nothing special, nothing unusual...except for the fact that it is home to an unknown boy who may be the most powerful Silent telepath ever born--a Silent with the ability to possess the bodies of others against their will. This mysterious child may be causing tremors within the Dream itself. For now, only the Children of Irfan know about him. A monastic-like order of the Silent, the Children protect their members even as they barter their services with the governments and corporations that control known space. But power like that cannot be hidden, and soon every Silent in the universe will know about the boy--and every government will be willing to go to war to control him. And if the Children of Irfan cannot find him first, the Dream itself may be shattered.... Non sono state trovate descrizioni di biblioteche |
