Una visión sensual del mito del Averno Una metáfora perversa sobre la marginación Varios años después de la última guerra contra el Submundo, Richard Pike, exiliado de su país e investigador privado de poca monta, debe descender a las entrañas de la Tierra para devolver a su amada Gala la vida que le han arrebatado sus semejantes. Porque Gala ha sido castigada por los suyos, los malignos del Submundo, por compartir la luz del sol con un hombre... Malignos es la primera novela publicada en castellano de Richard Calder, autor que ha irrumpido con fuerza en la escena de la ciencia ficción con una propuesta tan personal como obsesiva e innovadora. Poético, transgresor y estilista deslumbrante, Calder narra un descenso a los infiernos impregnado de una sensualidad mórbida e irresistible.
It is the fifty-third century. After an unknown cataclysm the ability to invent or maintain technology vanished. Gradually, humanity has separated into those who live on the surface and those who took to the vast areas below ground - the goblins, they are called, or "Malignos". Slowly, the Malignos have mutated into demons, some beautiful but all marked by horns, tails and bat-like wings.
Captain Richard Pike must venture underground in search of an antidote for the deadly poison fed to Gala, his Malignos lover, by her own people in the caverns under the Pilipinas - the Philippines. With sword, native cunning and somewhat wavering courage, Pike's quest will lead him through the wonders and horrors of the Malignos' world...

Softcover. Etat : Fine. Leichte Verformung / umgeknickte Seiten. Richard Calder's unique fusion of SF, sexuality, and surrealism begins with a 53rd-century Earth where technology has regressed due to invading forces that transform "perversion" from beyond our universe. New races have emerged from humanity, known as malignos, resembling traditional demons--horned, scaled, and often exiled to an artificial underworld. The antihero, Richard Pike, is a professional killer and snob who finds female malignos irresistible, living with Gala, one of the few above ground. He loves her so much that he rents out her body for income. However, Gala's troubled past resurfaces, prompting Pike to embark on a perilous journey to save her from drug-induced oblivion. His descent leads him through extraordinary sights: a freak show of caged humans, swarms of child malignos, magnificent cities, shadow-beings, and chimeras, culminating in the tropical Torrid Zone. There, he encounters semi-magical phenomena tied to lost secrets, ultimately reaching Pandemonium, where all answers lie. Pike's journey is fraught with suffering, often self-inflicted, as his pursuit of demonic allure leads him into traps. Despite being repeatedly reminded of his flaws, he experiences a degree of personal growth, culminating in an unexpected conclusion. Calder's darkly poetic imagination and intricate world-building create a captivating reading experience. N° de réf. du vendeur 5f3e9de7-17cc-45ea-9774-a5e02bee6c79
