Willful Child: The Search for Spark
Steven Erikson
Synopsis "Willful Child: The Search for Spark"
The New York Times bestselling author of the acclaimed Malazan Book of the Fallen series, continues his hilarious science fiction series--parodying and paying homage to exploring the final frontier--with Willful Child: The Search for Spark. These are the adventures of the starship A.S.F. Willful Child. Its ongoing mission: to seek out strange new worlds on which to plant the Terran flag, to subjugate and if necessary obliterate new life-forms.We join the not terribly bright but exceedingly cocksure Captain Hadrian Sawback and his motley crew on board the Starship Willful Child for a series of devil-may-care, near-calamitous and downright chaotic adventures through the infinite vastness of interstellar space.Steven Erikson has taken his lifelong passion for Star Trek and transformed it into a smart, inventive, and hugely entertaining spoof on the whole overblown mankind-exploring-space-for-the-good-of-all-species-but-trashing-stuff-with-a-lot-of-high-tech-gadgets-along-the-way adventure. The result is a novel that deftly parodies the genre while also paying fond homage to it.
Steven Erikson (Toronto, 1959), arqueólogo y antropólogo, es una de las mayores voces de la fantasía épica contemporánea, gracias a su decalogía Malaz: El Libro de los Caídos, una de las obras más ambiciosas y osadas que el género ha dado en las últimas décadas. Originalmente publicada entre 1999 y 2011, Malaz ha sido desde entonces definida como «una obra maestra indiscutible de la imaginación», capaz de labrarse un público fiel en las principales lenguas del mundo. Los jardines de la Luna, primer volumen de la saga, fue finalista del World Fantasy Award del año 2000. NOVA ha publicado todos los títulos de la serie.
