Justina Robson Knihy

První kniha série Kvantová gravitace. Když roku 2015 vybuchla Kvantová bomba, všechno se změnilo. Tkanivo vesmíru se nově zformátovalo a celá realita se mírně posunula. Bylo objeveno pět nových světů. A všichni obyvatelé planety Země se musí nově vyrovnávat s existencí elfů, elementálů, víl nebo démonů. Magie a kouzla vpadly do pozemského světa a jsou mnohem nebezpečnější než nejvyspělejší technologie. Lila Black, speciální agentka, o tom ví své. Z pokraje smrti ji zachránilo přetvoření jejího lidského těla do kovového monstra, stala se kyborgem divize Umělé inteligence. Při Bojovém standardu se její výzbroj a výstroj rovná vybavení malé armády. A Lila nemá tušení, kde končí ona a začíná její vlastní vnitřní UI. A navíc při svém prvním úkolu spadne rovnýma nohama do Hry, která jí vezme i důvěru ve vlastní city.

Lila Black, a half-robot with a strong attitude, is back for her fifth thrilling adventure.

Lila Black, half-robot and all attitude. The acclaimed series of SF/fantasy adventures from Arthur C. Clarke award-winning author Justina Robson hits new heights.

In the near future , when medical nanotechnology has made it possible to map a model of the living human brain, radical psychologist Natalie Armstrong sees her work suddenly become crucial to a cutting-edge military project for creating comprehensive mind-control. Meanwhile, on the other side of the Atlantic, Jude Westhorpe, FBI specialist, is tracking a cold war defector long involved in everything from gene sequencing to mind-mapping. But his investigation has begun to affect matters of national security -- throwing Jude and Natalie together as partners in trouble. Deep trouble from every direction. This fascinating novel explores the nature of humanity in the near future, and how technologies can develop whose power and potential demand that we adapt ourselves to their existence - whatever the price.

This groundbreaking new novel from one of the genre's most respected authors is a thrilling mix of science, magic and politics.

Book two of the Quantum Gravity series sees Lila Black drawn into the intoxicatingly dangerous demon realm. Capricious, in love with beauty, demons are best left to themselves. Not easy when they can't resist tampering with humans. Justina Robson's new series is a joyful melding of science fiction and fantasy brought together in the figure of the dangerously lovely Lila Black, a 21 year old secret agent who's had much of her body replaced with weapon-and-armour-heavy intelligent metal and who isn't sure where her mind ends and her installed AI begins. Lila's world is one where demons, elves and elementals live alongside people. And somehow Lila and the other agents of the security agancy have to provide security for all and stay alive themselves.

Lila Black, half robot and all attitude, is back from Hell! Following 'Keeping it Real' and 'Selling Out', the third book in the 'Quantum Gravity' series sees Lila struggling to cope with the strange world of Faerie. These Faeries are capricious, unknowable and dangerous, and they will be Lila's toughest test yet.

Where do you run when a world is out to get you?AIs, Forged beings, superheroes, angels, and worlds that change in the blink of an eye—here is a richly imagined tale of ordinary redemption in an extraordinary world from one of the most provocative writers working today. . . .Francine is a young runaway looking to find a definition of love she can trust. In Sankhara, she finds a palace where rooms are made of bone, flowers, and the hearts of heroes. She finds a scientist mapping the territory of the human mind. She finds a boyfriend. And she finds Eros itself—incarnated in the androgynously irresistible form of Jalaeka.But not everyone is in love with the god of love. Unity, for one, wants to assimilate Jalaeka along with every other soul in the universe. And contrary to what everyone always believes, love alone can’t save the day. It will take something both more and less powerful than the human heart to save the worlds upon worlds at risk when gods collide.“For Robson, world-building is a literary device like any other, useful for exposing buried fears and desires to the light of day, no matter how strange the sun.”— New York Times Book Review
