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.
