Description
An ambitious sci-fi novel about an encounter with a hostile alien civilization. Exordia — both a terrifying galactic empire and the eponymous novel — embodies the essence of what good sci-fi should be. A Kurdish sniper, whom bloodthirsty invaders recruit for their interests, an Iranian fighter pilot who masters warp, a Chinese mathematician and her shy Catholic girlfriend from the Philippines, Ugandan miners, Canadian prospectors, American government employees, Russian molodtsy… and the threat of Earth's destruction and the enslavement of the galaxy by embodied Evil, clearly placed on an exact scale of moral values. Seth Dickinson launches a war of worlds, where breathtaking technobattles alternate with existential reflections, personal dilemmas with cosmic uncertainties, spacetime anomalies with the fragilities of human self-perception. And all of this is carried on the backs of characters we love not for their strength, but for the humor with which they bear their weaknesses, and the courage brought forth by the ghosts of their past.
