Michael Scott Walton: Bastion, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

Alistella Pareides Caliday sacrificed her home to save it.

​

Ten years after the devastating Solar Gulf War, former Bastion soldier Alis has built a new home on the utopic post-war, post-capitalist Earth with refugee runner and fellow survivor Toristani Arcay Orius. But that home, too, is on the verge of slipping away.

​

Together, they ended the war, but not without consequence: defecting from Bastion and ejecting from her Aegis mech caused Alis' state-installed mindjack to malfunction. Now, when Earth aligns with Mars, the Wolf emerges. And where the Wolf walks, death follows.

​

When a mission to finally cure the Wolf ends in blood and betrayal, Alis and Toris are thrust back into a fight they thought was over. If Toris hopes to save Alis, and if she hopes to save herself, they must finally confront the consequences of the war they ended-and the ghosts that chase them-before the cycles of history turn again and snag them in its jaws.

​

From grappling with fifty-foot mechs above Mars to slicing through the last capitalist stronghold on Earth, Bastion is a gripping solarpunk science-fiction epic about identity, resistance, and the courage it takes to build something better from what's broken.
