Reseña de ARC: No Gods, No Monster by Cadwell Turnbull

No Gods, No Monsters 

by Cadwell Turnbull
 

My rating: 2 of 5 stars

What do we have around here? Apparently monsters have always lived among us, even organized in secret societies (with all the internal struggles that accompany that), and suddenly everything explodes and comes to light. And that is what some want and others do not. The reason for that precise moment we do not know.

(Reading Challenge: 10. Un bestseller del New York Times)

A cautionary tale about not get involved in paid college experiments, no matter how much you need the money.

Si estás en busca de un libro de horror, esto no es lo que buscas. Creo que podria definirse más bien como uno de conspiración gubernamental.

Lo tienen encerrado en una habitación pequeña con una puerta que no puede abrir y una cerradura que no puede forzar. Lo someten a pruebas. Dobla llaves. Cierra puertas. Y según me han dicho, está casi loco.
—Oh… válgame… Dios —musitó Andy débilmente.
—Forma parte del esfuerzo encaminado a preservar la paz, así que no importa que se vuelva loco —añadió Quincey—. Él enloquece para que doscientos veinte millones de norteamericanos podamos vivir seguros y libres. ¿Entiendes?
—Sí —susurró Andy.

(aqui hasta parece haber un guiño sardónico a Ursula K. Le Guin The Ones Who Walk Away from Omelas )

Blurb These are the People.
Marooned on this planet by the crash of their interstellar vehicle in the distant past, The People are never free of a sense of strangeness in this world and a yearning for the home they have half-forgotten.

These are the chronicles of their arrival on this world, their estrangement from it, and their ultimate acceptance of their poignant exile.
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

“There aren’t any endings,” the Francher kid said. “Only new beginnings. When you going to get started?”


Lea está a punto de tirarse por un puente cuando es rescatada por Karen, quien casi a empujones y sin dejarle salida la lleva con ella a una reunión-conferencia-congreso donde empiezan a contar sus experiencias y revelan que son The People.
