Chaos and Reunion (English Edition) [Kindle-editie] beoordelingen het boek quotes

When chaos happens, associating with powerful people can be dangerous. The Lomaes are beautiful, brilliant, and talented, champions of art and science, diplomacy, and freedom. But Antorhan biology, jealousy, and invention entangle the honorable Lomaes in the destruction of their country and an insane man’s campaign of terror against the world. Chadasca, wins the Antorhan election. His exquisite wife, Esiala, publicly swoons for Myar a Lomae, the inventor of a strange new physics. But Korda, financier to both the politician and the scientist, wants Esiala for himself. Enraged, Korda uses his vast wealth and Myar’s new math to create what had been only a theoretical possibility, the longfeared unspeakable device. Korda deploys the unspeakable across the Antorhan continent. Failing to nab Esiala during the vast fire storms that result, he instead kidnaps Myar’s sister-in-law, Lea, and her baby. A few Lomaes remain on Kimminae, safely out of Korda’s reach, while on Antorha, Myar and Esiala survive in hiding. Lea’s daughter comes of age under Korda’s influence as he enslaves the survivors of the unspeakable and assaults neighboring continents. Meanwhile, on Kimminae, the synthete Kenna independently creates the unspeakable technology for Kimminaen civil defense, heedless of the dangers of creating computers that must control reality.
