Fantasy og science fiction

Return to Daevabad in the spellbinding sequel to THE CITY OF BRASS.

»Kan man på én gang være både her og andetsteds, nu og i morgen, ung og gammel i rumtidens kontinuum? Mit svar er ja. Eller nej. Det afhænger af hvem der stiller spørgsmålet.« I dette opfølgende bind til »Erindringer fra fremtiden« foretager Mézières og Christin atter sammen med deres yndlingsfigurer en række punktnedslag i nogle af de mytiske episoder fra deres verdensberømte science fiction-saga. Nye fortolkninger blandet med nostalgi, humor og overraskelser præsenteres af fremtidens – eller rettere sagt de forskellige mulige fremtiders – aktører, som selv lægger stemme til. Jean-Claude Mézières og Pierre Christin (begge født 1938) har skabt et helt nyt – og formentlig det allersidste – album med Linda og Valentin, som de lancerede i 1967.

Det er vinter i Område X, det mystiske vildnis, der efter tredive års overvågning stadig ikke lader sig forklare eller kortlægge. Mens området langsomt breder sig, er efterretningsorganisationen Southern Reach ved at kollapse indefra, og i et sidste desperat forsøg sender man en ny ekspedition over grænsen. Deres mål er en fjern ø, der måske rummer de svar, de så længe har ledt efter. Men efterhånden som ekspeditionen trænger dybere ind i det ukendte, bliver truslen mod den ydre verden kun større og mere skræmmende. For hvad var det egentlig, der skete dengang og satte hele denne unaturlige udvikling i gang? Og blandt alle dem, der har forsøgt at udforske fænomenet, hvem er så kommet nærmere en forståelse, og hvem er blevet inficeret? I dette sidste bind af Southern Reach-trilogien nærmer vi os løsningen på mysteriet omkring Område X, men med forfærdende og vidtrækkende konsekvenser.
