Michael Scott Walton: Bastion, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Blurb

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.
