This is the end of the world. It did not come through fire or ice, with a bang or a whimper, from solar catastrophe or man’s suicidal mis-use of atomic power or any of the other fearful possibilities with which the Sunday-supplement writers once terrified us. It came through the exposure of an age-old conspiracy.
DESCRIPTION:A PLANET CALLED NOD A PLANET CALLED NOD moves at a quick pace and is intended to be both a Science Fiction and a Comedy Novel. This book flows from story to story as the background of each major character is told to Doreteo Sanchez, the main character. Doreteo Sanchez is just another wagehog, hoping to make it to his home planet with some overtime pay. The captain of their ship picks up a repeating beacon and sends Doreteo and a crewman named Duckworth down to the surface to investigate. At what has developed into an archaeological site Doreteo and Duckworth fall (quite literally) into a series of situations, one of which is discovering a lost civilization’s amusements. After surviving the dangerous adventure on the planet, Doreteo’s frustration boils over in a moment of anger and he commits a corporate sin by destroying company property. Doreteo is sent to A PLANET CALLED NOD where he is expected to fend for himself among a bunch of characters such as: Targen, an ex-sentry who has gone wrong somewhere along the way; Vlar, his girl, who is sexy but dangerous, Maxwell and Ernie, two engineers that also have made the mistake of damaging company property, Pix, AKA Knifeboy who has an extreme talent with throwing knives, and Naiomi, the singular sword-wielding woman who keeps to herself until Doreteo shows up and an entire ensemble of people imprisoned on Nod, each with a curious story to tell. Throughout this novel stories are told about their fellow inmates and some tell their own stories as they are all surviving on Nod. Then the work really begins as does the treachery and irony. And all this happens with the wit and dry humor of Doreteo and his oddball companions.Voir livre
