El antiguo orden se desmorona en las oscuridades subterráneas mientras las Máquinas de los Antiguos se detienen una a una. El salvajismo sin límite explota en los niveles más bajos y los gritos desgarrados de los torturados llegan hasta las cámaras del Señor de la Guerra. This was an an odd book. It is ostensibly a post-apocalyptic adventure, but the standard social tropes get quickly overwhelmed by bizarre timing, broken dialog and an utterly opaque main character. Over if the things I found hardest to get my head around was the use of immediate flash forwards-a scene will end, then jump to action happening apparently somewhat later, and then jump back in a page or two to fill in the gap.l, showing there was really only a couple of hours difference. Why? Then there's the dialogue. It's a jumbled mess, at times, where characters are unable to make sentences, and speakers are unmarked, creating utter confusion. And yet the action is tense, and the world is just unusual enough to remain interesting. It's a fun, if often confusing, sword and sorcery meets Wool kind of book. Bladesman Ronin musí v ohrožení života rozluštit klíčové tajemství svého podzemního světa. Proniká opuštěnými šachtami hluboko k jeho dnu do končin plných nebezpečenství a nalézá Město Desetitisíců Cest. Zde se setkává s tajemným mužem jménem Bonneduce Poslední. Ronin postupně odhaluje příběh překrásné K'reen a získává pergamen popisující zkázu lidského rodu, který prý kdysi zalidňoval dnes již neobyvatelný zemský povrch. I first read this trilogy back in the mid-1980's and rated it pretty high then. Unfortunately book 1 does not fully stand the test of time. There are elements that remind me why I liked this story back in the day but there are other elements, (disjointed descriptions, klunky dialog, illogical settings, etc), that lowered my rating of this re-read. In fairness to Lustbader, he imagined a post-apocalyptic underground 'silo' type of dwelling long before Hugh Howey came up with his take on it. Howey just did it better all around with a more detailed world, more interesting characters, better dialog, and a coherent delivery. ingen anmeldelser | tilføj en anmeldelse
