"Jeff Long - The Descent" - читать интересную книгу автора (Long Jeff)

'Jeff Long has achieved something that has so far evaded both high-caste genre
writers and literary colonisers: he has returned science fiction to its original vigour
and – while maintaining all the headlong readability we associate with the form –
made it a worthwhile moral tool again. The Descent is SF for the 2000s, from a writer
who simply won't be told what he can't do. There should be more like it' M. John
Harrison

'A tour de force. A subterranean realm so expertly realised and credible, we feel it has
existed all along. A dark, pervading, benighted beauty. If Kim Stanley Robinson's
Martian colonists had headed down instead of up, this is the world they would have
found' James Lovegrove

'Without question, the best thing I've read so far this year. Long proves himself to be
a wonderful storyteller. A stunning tour de force' Peter Crowther

'This flat-out, gears grinding, bumper-car ride into the pits of hell is one major
takedown of a read. Long writes with unearthly force and vision. What emerges is a
War of the Worlds against a world that can't lose. A page-burner of a book' Lorenzo
Carcaterra
