Descriere The Godel Operation - James L. Cambias

SCIENCE FICTION AT ITS SENSE-OF-WONDER BEST: A WILD CHASE THROUGH THE BILLION WORLDS OF THE TENTH MILLENNIUM IN SEARCH OF A MYTHICAL WEAPON THAT COULD SAVE CIVILIZATION--OR DOOM IT! A droid and his boy, on a search for a legendary weapon. Daslakh is an AI with a problem. Its favorite human, a young man named Zee, is in love with a woman who never existed. But in the Tenth Millennium, a billion worlds circle the Sun--everything from terraformed planets to artificial habitats, home to a quadrillion beings. Zee is convinced she's out there somewhere. Then Zee helps Adya--a girl, but definitely not his dream girl--escape a gang of crooks. To get away, the pair must join the hunt for the Godel Trigger, a legendary weapon left over from the ancient war between humans and machines. Now Daslakh must aid in the search, keep Zee's love life on the right track, and make sure that nobody discovers the real secret of the Godel Trigger--for that would spell doom for men, machines, and the Solar System itself!

Cambias offers up an entertaining coming-of-age novel filled with action and surprises. His aliens are suitably non-human in mannerisms, attitudes, and objectives, and his worldbuilding suggests a vast universe ready for further exploration. Readers . . . will find this hits the spot.--Publishers Weekly . . . a classic quest story, a well-paced series of encounters with different folk along the way, building momentum toward a final confrontation with Arkad's past . . . [with] a delicious twist to the end.--ALA Booklist Cambias has achieved a feat of world-building: an expansive, believable setting with fascinating aliens, compelling mysteries, and a rich sense of history.--Bookpage Drop a teenage boy into a distant planet chock full of colorful aliens--with troub
