Leviathan (English Edition) [Kindle-editie] beoordelingen het boek quotes

Leviathan: a super big, super deadly aerospace carrier a klick and a half long, boasting a crew of three hundred officers and five thousand enlisted. It’s a dangerous platform, but not just because of its weapons.Suphora: a waterworld lightly sprinkled with land, where one billion intelligent monkeys who call themselves the Atlen, live. It’s best known for its continent-sized typhoons, like the one Leviathan is about to intersect.Casdra Porens: Captain of Leviathan. Only Casdra’s steel-handed discipline keeps the sharks in her crew from engaging in a constant feeding frenzy.The Nameless One: a ruthless cyborg without conscience or morals or even personal choice—he does what the chip in his head tells him. He’s on the hunt and he knows his quarry is on Leviathan, so that’s where he’s bound, even if it means boarding in the midst of a raging tempest!Adrenne Horst: A woman who has found the man she wants in her life. Now she’s waiting for him to find her.Offworlder Lordling Bi Li Shane: Witness to the messy terrorist-murder of his mother and father, and to the violent accidental death of his twin brother Charr Li, not two minutes later. Bi Li is young, only five years old, and the only other survivor of the terrorist attack on the newly arriving ambassadorial Li Shane family is fourteen-year old vassal Zilli, whose passion to protect his young lord oftentimes interferes with his good sense. Bi Li and Zilli hide away on Leviathan, not knowing that it’s about to leave port. And now that it’s at sea, Bi needs a real protector, and he needs one fast, because the ship’s crew can’t wait to have a little fun with an innocent five-year old. And, of course, the Nameless One is on his way, and the man-machine monster will stop at nothing, not even a little bitty super-typhoon, to hunt down and kill his last victim! Petty First Poul Athaton Hillers: A bitter, dark soul afflicted with periods of black depression. Though he’s the best petty first on Leviathan, he is hard to get along with, inflexible, and a very heavy-handed supervisor, demanding that his people give him their very best. And if they don’t give it, he’s not afraid to bust heads. He cares for nothing and no one…or so he pretends. However, he is about to get a very loud wake-up call. Because Fate will intervene in his life and force the care of one small, vulnerable, scared child on him, on a ship, at sea, in the middle of a furious super storm where there is no escaping your troubles. And in the middle of that powerful tempest, he and his Little Shipmate will find themselves entangled in a vicious fight for their lives while The Nameless One attempts to kill them both, and anyone who gets in the way!
