Nove i pročitane knjige (u 2017.)

[Nightflier]

High Duke je na Bukspejsu postavio nimalo laskav prikaz "Drakule Nemrtvog".

[divča]

Nova knjiga Korija Doktorova, potvrda ne bas teze, vise zapazanja, da morate da nosite naocare kao Elvis Kostelo da biste pisali dobru gikovksu prozu...
Superzabavan roman, uz to i besplatan!

[Nightflier]

Melkor me je ubedio da je Paolo Bacigalupi sjajan pisac, pa sam nabavio The Windup Girl, njegov prvi roman. U ponedeljak radimo magnetnu nakon kontrolnog zahvata, pa ću čitati u čekaonici. Mada me mami i "Levijatan", koji mi je stigao u istom paketu. Uf... Evo šta Amazon ima da kaže:

Noted short story writer Bacigalupi (Pump Six and Other Stories) proves equally adept at novel length in this grim but beautifully written tale of Bangkok struggling for survival in a post-oil era of rising sea levels and out-of-control mutation. Capt. Jaidee Rojjanasukchai of the Thai Environment Ministry fights desperately to protect his beloved nation from foreign influences. Factory manager Anderson Lake covertly searches for new and useful mutations for a hated Western agribusiness. Aging Chinese immigrant Tan Hock Seng lives by his wits while looking for one last score. Emiko, the titular despised but impossibly seductive product of Japanese genetic engineering, works in a brothel until she accidentally triggers a civil war. This complex, literate and intensely felt tale, which recalls both William Gibson and Ian McDonald at their very best, will garner Bacigalupi significant critical attention and is clearly one of the finest science fiction novels of the year.

This complex, literate and intensely felt tale, which recalls both William Gibson and Ian McDonald at their very best, will garner Bacigalupi significant critical attention and is clearly one of the finest science fiction novels of the year. --Publishers Weekly

Bacigalupi is as unflinching in his examination of the unthinkable cruelty, humiliation and banal evil that humanity inflicts on the Other as he is on the bleak future that our mass consumption society will inevitably unleash. In his fictional vision, there will be no miraculous rescue from our moral or environmental sins. The Windup Girl will almost certainly be the most important SF novel of the year for its willingness to confront the most cherished notions of the genre, namely that our future is bright and we will overcome our selfish, cruel nature.

Samo da pitam nightflier-a ili High Duke-a (pretpostavljam da su oni najmerodavniji), kada se ocekuje REH-ov Konan u izdanju IPS-a, u koliko delova (knjiga) ide i da li ce biti ilustrovan. Najvise bih voleo da idu SAMO originalne Hauardove price i da recimo bude izdat u stilu nekog ovakvog (luksuznog) izdanja-http://www.bookpalace.com/acatalog/REH_Fiction.html-znaci sa ilustracijama Marka Sulca, Geri Djanija i Gregori Manciza . Znam da je to skupa i verovatno neisplativa varijanta, znaci malo verovatna, ali ajde da pitam, jer tu kompilaciju zeljno iscekujem vec godinama .

Hvala unapred na bilo kakvom odgovoru!

Mislim da će biti ukupno četiri toma, mada ne mogu da garantujem. Uglavnom, sve će knjige biti ilustrovane, samo što ovde neće biti reč o projektu tipa "Nekronomikona", već će se preuzeti strane ilustracije. Pošto je vlasnik prava Hauardova zadužbina, mislim da neće biti priča drugih pisaca. Ne znam kada će biti objavljena prva knjiga, koja je odavno prevedena.

Dvadeset četvrtog dana meseca kojeg smo objavljeno je nekoliko zanimljivih naslova, mada se to može reći i za čitav mesec. Novembar je možda omiljeni mesec za objavljivanje fantastike, pošto se nastavlja na Noć veštica i pada zgodno pred Božić. Najpre najperverzniji:

The Elder Scrolls: The Infernal City by Greg Keyes

Four decades after the Oblivion Crisis, Tamriel is threatened anew by an ancient and all-consuming evil. It is Umbriel, a floating city that casts a terrifying shadow–for wherever it falls, people die and rise again.

And it is in Umbriel’s shadow that a great adventure begins, and a group of unlikely heroes meet. A legendary prince with a secret. A spy on the trail of a vast conspiracy. A mage obsessed with his desire for revenge. And Annaig, a young girl in whose hands the fate of Tamriel may rest . . . .

Based on the award-winning The Elder Scrolls, The Infernal City is the first of two exhilarating novels following events that continue the story from The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion, named 2006 Game of the Year.

Ne mogu da opišem koliko je imbecilno da ovakav pisac radi na knjizi po video igri.

First Lord's Fury by Jim Butcher je završnica serijala Codex Alera, koji je nastao kao odgovor na pitanje šta se dobije kada se stari Rimljani ukrste s pokemonima.

For years he has endured the endless trials and triumphs of a man whose skill and power could not be restrained. Battling ancient enemies, forging new alliances, and confronting the corruption within his own land, Gaius Octavian became a legendary man of war-and the rightful First Lord of Alera.

But now, the savage Vord are on the march, and Gaius must lead his legions to the Calderon Valley to stand against them-using all of his intelligence, ingenuity, and furycraft to save their world from eternal darkness.

The Silver Mage: Book Four of the Silver Wyrm  by Katharine Kerr.

Code: [Select]

The Horsekin are assembling along Prince Dar's northern border, and the Deverry alliance simply does not have the men and resources to prevent their enemies from moving into the wilderness areas known as the Ghostlands. But suddenly, the Dwrgi folk and the dragons come to Dar's aid, tipping the balance in their favor and offering Dar's people a chance to defeat the Horsekin once and for all.

[Berserker]

Nightflieru, molim te prosvetli me po pitanju jednog izdanja. Mono i Manjana, serijal "Recni sliv tmine", Son Rasel: imaju prvi deo "Stazama i dvoranama podzemlja" i "Kompas duse". Dali je ovo "duologija" ili ima vise delova?

[Nightflier]

Ja imam samo te dve. Koliko znam - više nema. Mada je on meni dosadan pisac.

[Perin]

Ovako. To jeste duologija - međutim, to je prikvel duologija za duologiju Rise of Moontide & Magic. Ja se sve nadam da će Mono i Manjana nastavit sa Raselom, jer mi se on kao pisac sviđa. Swans War trilogija mu je odlična, ali moj favorit ipak ostaje Brother Initiate duologija

S tim da me boldovane knjige baš interesuju. Vidim da nema Martina sa Asoiaf niti Rotfasa? Takođe, možeš li mi reći o čemu je reč sa ovom Martinovom knjigom i sa knjigom Anne Bishop?

[Nightflier]

Bučera sam pročitao - i malčice je razočaravajuć. Da First Lord's Fury ne završava serijal, bio bi zadovaljuvajuća knjiga. Ovako...

 Shalador's Lady je povratak u Dark Jewels, ali poslednja knjiga iz serijala - u koju sam ja polagao velike nade - nimalo nije dorasla prvim naslovima u ciklusu. Stoga strepim da će i  Shalador's Lady  biti u najboljem slučaju osrednji proizvod.

Crack'd Pot Trail je nova novela o ona dva blesava nekromanta, a Dust of Dreams već sam nabavio, ali nisam pročitao ni osmu knjigu.

Elves: Once Walked with Gods - Barkli je baš loš pisac. Fentezi treš po uzoru na DnD. To ne znači da nije zabavan.

Warriors ne znam šta je, sem onoga što se može zaključiti po priređivačima.

Shadowrise je treća knjiga u serijalu Shadowmarch, ali meni je Vilijams smrtno dosada, a Shadomarch dosadniji od ostalih njegovih romana.

Changes je novi Hari Drezden.

Way of Kings je repriza. To jest, roman je objavljen valjda još 2006. samo što nije primećen. Čini mi se da se radi o urbanoj fantastici - mešavini svega i svačega.

[Perin]

Bučera i Fury (Codex Alera) serijal sam krenuo čitati, mislim da sam nekad prve 3 knjige pročitao, pa mi se više nije dalo u ebook, mada mi se serijal svideo. Barklija imam jedan roman, čuo sam negde da nije loš, pa me zainteresovao ovaj drugi...Vilijams je meni ok, Shadowmarch mi je i bolji od Sećanje Jad i Trna Inače, da se pohvalim - zahvaljujući svojoj dragoj, kompletirao sam Prince of Nothing trilogiju, od Bakera, u izdanju Hrvatskog Algoritma. Ova gorepomenuta knjiga od istog pisca je drugi deo sikvel trilogije na Prince of Nothing?

I jedno offhand pitanje: Pročitao sam Legende, i mnogo mi se svidela priča koja potpada u serijal o Alvin Makeru, od Orson Skot Karda... Ima li šanse da se pomenuti serijal objavi kod nas? Iskeženi čovek se zove pripovetka u Legendama

[Nightflier]

Ja sam poodavno preveo prvu knjigu. Pretpostavljam da se izdavaču ne isplati da objavljuje dalje zbog slabe prodaje. Inače, u knjižari "Delfi" izbor fantastike je sjajan i to po više nego pristupačnim cenama. Na primer, standardni fentezi meki povez je približno 900 dinara, a izbor im je više nego solidan. Do kraja godine stižu im dve pošiljke novih knjiga i proširuju sffh odeljak.

Meni Vesa reče da planira da ih izda, samo je trenutno kriziro pa ne postizava. Predomislio se ili...

Trebalo bi da dobijem hrvatsko izdanje Harrison, Harry • The Stainless Steel Rat. Jel si čito? Utisak?

[Nightflier]

Jao, znam. Ne stižem da čitam sve što bih voleo. Sad sam nabavio sve tri do sada objavljene The Best Science Fiction and Fantasy of the Year, ali nemam kada da ih čitam. Jurim da završim prevode za Bobana i Gorana, pa ču valjda oko Nove godine moći da čitam. Inače, najviše se radujem novom romanu P. C. Hodgell, Bound in Blood.

The Rats and the Ruling Sea by Robert V. S. Redick



The Rats and the Ruling Sea picks up where the first volume, The Red Wolf Conspiracy left off:

Thasha's wedding is hours away. It is a wedding that will both fulfill the promise of a mad god's return and see her murdered. Pazel has thwarted the sorcerer who would bring back the god but both sides now face deadlock. Can Thasha be saved? Can the war between two Empires be stopped?

The Rats and the Ruling Sea is, once again, focused on the giant ancient ship The Chathrand, but now she must brave the terrors of the uncharted seas including massive storms, ship-swallowing whirlpools and lands forgotten by the Northern world, all the time involved in a vicious running battle with a ship nearly her match…

Robert Redick's new novel takes the reader further into the labyrinthine plots and betrayals that have underscored the trilogy from the beginning. Along the way, we will learn more about the Ixchel as they fight for survival against the Chathrand's rats, discover more about the true motives of the conspirators, live with Thasha and Pazel as they face death & deceit, and journey with The Chathrand as it sails into the infamous Ruling Sea…

[Melkor]

Ima ga u onom spisku malo iznad, mada ja imam podatak da se pojavljuje u martu, whatever. Novi Simons:

Black Hills is an important and revelatory novel, the most singular accomplishment to date by the always unpredictable Dan Simmons. With empathy and great narrative power, it illuminates a significant chapter in the nation's history, and takes us deep into the heart of an extraordinary American life.

The story begins at the Battle of Little Big Horn in June of 1876. Eleven-year-old Paha Sapa (whose name, in the Lakota dialect, means "Black Hills"), is present at the precise moment of Custer's death, a moment that will have enormous ramifications. The narrative that follows encompasses eighty years of highly charged history and ranges from the eponymous (and sacred) Black Hills of South Dakota to the Dust Bowls of the Great Depression to the emerging face of Mount Rushmore, where an astonishing revelation awaits.

On one level, Black Hills is a story of profound and inescapable loss: of family, of cultural heritage, of the ancient gods that once dominated the Lakota's world. On another, it is a visionary account of love, hope, and unexpected discovery, and a meditation on the Mystery that lies "at the heart of the heart of the universe." Absorbing, moving, and constantly surprising, Black Hills is, by any standard, a major novel, another landmark achievement in a constantly evolving career.

Teror me jos uvek ceka, Drood ne znam ni da li cu citati, ovo deluje zanimljivije, ali.........................................

[Nightflier]

Što se mene tiče, znam da ovo sigurno neću čitati. Deluje mi previše depresivno.

Divine Misdemeanors by Laurell K. Hamilton



Laurell K. Hamilton on Divine Misdemeanors

Meredith Gentry was created as a character so that my muse and I could have a break from writing the Anita Blake series. I’d written five Anita books in a row and was starting to have job anxiety dreams about her life instead of mine. I needed something different for my muse and me to play with. Merry was created to give me a different voice, a different world to visit. I guess she’s like a second child that you have so the first one won’t be an only. Then, like a parent that just didn’t understand that a second child doesn’t double your workload, but quadruples it, I was suddenly trying to do two different series at two different publishers. It went well since they’re both New York Times bestsellers. The audience for both crosses nicely and continues to grow with every book in a time when very few authors can say that. So it’s all good, but just like trying to juggle two kids instead of one, juggling two book series instead of just one presents its challenges.

At the beginning keeping Anita’s voice out of the Merry books was the biggest challenge. I was used to her, and her voice and attitude were closer to my own, so Anita wrote faster, clearer in my head. Merry was that second baby that is nothing like your first baby, so most of what you learned about taking care of character A doesn’t help a damn bit with character B. Who knew? But there comes a point when you make peace with the second child being so different from the first and so different from yourself. You find the unique joys in that second person, as I’ve found the joys in the Merry series that are different from Anita.

Anita fights me on paper and always has. She’s very much my rebel. Merry never fought on paper until the last book, Swallowing Darkness, and then she found things worth fighting for. She finally stood up and told me what she wanted and she was willing to do whatever it took to get there. I understood that. I let Merry’s desires, loves, and choices change where I had planned to end the first cycle of the series. Anita has thrown out entire last thirds of books by her choices, and even scrapped entire novel ideas because she’d simply grown in a different direction. If I did that for my oldest creation, how could I not do the same for my youngest creation?

In fact, Merry found her voice so pure and clear that on the last two Anita Blake novels I’ve had to chase her out of my head so Anita could be loud. Now the biggest challenge is balancing the writing schedule between two bestselling series, two different publishers, and that thing called a real life. Doing justice to my two imaginary worlds, and still managing to have a life in the real world... that’s the true challenge.--Laurell K. Hamilton

"Dobri stari demon" Majkla Kerija

"IPS/Prosveta" je objavila roman Majka Kerija "Dobri stari demon" u prevodu Ivane Maksimović-Tomić, koji pripada novom popularnom žanru trilera/horora u kome su akteri demoni, vampiri i njima slična neljudska bića.

Autor je stekao izuzetno dobro obrazovanje pošto je diplomirao engleski jezik i književnost na koledžu Sent Piters, na Oksfordu a zatim je 15 godina bio profesor, pre nego što se posvetio isključivo pisanju scenarija za stripove i grafičke novele.

Među strip serijalima i grafičkim novelama za koje je pisao scenarije su oni o Helblejzeru, X menu, Luciferu, Volverinu, ...

"Dobri stari demon" je prvi roman iz serijala koji za sada ima pet naslova a glavni lik je Feliks Kastor, lovac na demone svih boja i fela i egzorcista slobodnjak, a London je njegovo lovište.

Kad svet neljudskih, neživih bića pomahnita, njegove su usluge i te kako tražene. Dobar egzorcista može da naplaćuje koliko god želi i da živi na visokoj nozi, ali će pre ili kasnije naleteti na demona koji mu je opasan protivnik.

Prekidajući dobrovoljnu "penziju" za samo još jedan poslić (tek da plati račune), Kastor uleće u arenu gde se neživi nadmeću "ko će Feliksa Kastora ubiti prvi".

Borba sa demonima, metamorfima i vampirima je ono što Feliks Kastor zna najbolje ali živi ljudi mu stvaraju probleme i idu na živce.....

Serijal o avanturama Feliksa Kastora koji neodoljivo podseća na detektive poput Mikija Spilejna, samo što su mu protivnici bića mraka, doneo je Keriju izuzetnu popularnost .

Kritičar londonskog " Delji eskpresa" ih je ocenio kao "vrcavo, urnebesno i uzavrelo mračno", dok ga je "Gardijan" opisao kao spoj i "ukrštanje tinejdžerske TV junakinje 'Bafi ubice vampira' Džonatana Krika, i teškog noara".

 

jedva sam prepoznao šta je ovo u stvari (The Devil You Know)  ali onda, w000! 

[Nightflier]

Nisam znao da voliš Kerija? Inače, Konan bi trebalo da stigne iz štamparije svakog časa.

[Nightflier]

"Laguna" objavila roman Kim HArison Dead Witch Walking pod imbecilnim prevodom "Mrtva si, veštice!".

[Perin]

Jel to opet neki obiman serijal?

[Nightflier]

Kraći od Bučerovog. To mu je najbolja ortakinja. Bar je bila. Sad će valjda sedmi roman da izađe. Inače, na Bukspejsu sam postavio prikaz Beketovog "Postanja".

With the manuscript safely in the hands of the publisher in San Francisco, I can now reveal the final table of contents for The Best Science Fiction & Fantasy of the Year: Volume 4.

Recommended Reading

Eagle-eyed readers will note one of the spots is blank.  This isn’t an error. I’ve agreed not to publicise one of the stories until the book comes out, so that publication here doesn’t step too badly on the toes of its original publisher. I will, however, reveal the omitted story in March.  And yes, if space permits, there will be a Recommended Reading list in the book for the first time ever. If it doesn’t make it for length reasons, I’ll make sure it’s published online.  You can pre-order the book at Amazon.com here.

Boldovao sam preklapanja. Ono sto me raduje/rastuzuje je sto bar 1/3 prica iz obe antologije posedujem i sto cu ih verovatno procitati dok se docepam ove dve knjige. Za zainteresovane, mislim da su price preuzete sa internete i dalje online.

Meni su pre neki dan stigla sva tri, pa se nadam da ću ih i ja slistiti u januaru mesecu.

U.S. border guards arrest author Peter Watts
Kristin Rushowy Staff Reporter
Published On Sat Dec 12 2009

For Peter Watts, life can be stranger than science fiction.

Watts – who has written six such books – was on his way back to Toronto last Tuesday after helping a friend move to the U.S. Before crossing the Blue Water Bridge into Sarnia, American customs officers pulled him over. He says when they began rifling through his car and luggage, he got out. They ordered him back in the car; he asked what was going on.

What happened next has become the talk of the blogosphere: Watts too has waded in on it, posting that he was assaulted, punched in the face, pepper-sprayed and thrown in jail for the night, only to find that he was the one charged – with assaulting a customs officer.

Customs officials told the Star Watts was given directions "and became non-compliant...he did not follow directions and a physical altercation" ensued.

An officer with the Port Huron police told the local newspaper that Watts "angrily" got out of the rental car and when he refused to get back in, they tried to cuff him and he became "aggressive." In the melee, police said, Watts "choked" a customs officer.

"As a result of that he was detained and turned over to local authorities," says Ronald Smith, chief customs and border protection officer at Blue Water, adding officers were conducing "outbound operations" stopping and inspecting vehicles after the toll booths but before they hit Canadian customs.

Watts empatically denies any such action.

"I can state categorically that I did not choke anybody, I did not use profanity and did not raise my voice, I did not initiate any physical contact," says Watts, who is also a marine biologist with a PhD in zoology.

"All I basically did was use words to ask what was going on."

Now, friends are raising funds online to help Watts to help him cover his legal costs, which he says are overwhelming for someone who makes a living as an author.

Fellow sci-fi writer Cory Doctorow, who blogged about the incident at boingboing.net, chipped in $1,000 right off the bat – and while no one will say how much has been raised in total, friend David Nickle said it's enough to get Watts through the first hurdle. Should the case go to trial, friends will arrange a fundraiser.

"It's a bit like trying to figure out the mindset of a grizzly bear," Watts said when asked why officers attacked him.

Watts' next court appearance is Dec. 22. If eventually convicted, it's a felony charge that could see him imprisoned for two years and a possible fine of up to $2,000.

Watts had driven to Nebraska with a friend to help a retired University of Toronto professor move there, but their rental car had broken down. The two were driving a replacement car the rental agency had provided in the U.S.

After the incident, Watts' friend was arrested and interrogated, but not charged.

Watts, however, spent the night in jail, in the standard orange jumpsuit, and was released the next day on $5,000 bail. He was dropped off across the border at Canadian customs, without his coat – it was in the car, which was impounded – during a winter storm.

Watts is overwhelmed by the online donations, and jokes that while most people must be supportive, "it's quite possible that some people think I'm a ...jerk, but they hate homeland security more."

If more money is raised than he needs, it will be donated to charity, he said.

Among the many comments posted at boingboing.net, are some suggesting Watts must have had an attitude when dealing with customs.

"The question is what is attitude?" he said. "I've been told by cops in the system that the mere act of getting out of a car, the mere act of taking any action at all, not simply responding to an order...is considered attitude...what they take offence to is not necessarily what anyone else would find offensive."
