The Unity Game
Despre această carte electronică
With a job and a salary many would kill for, a beautiful woman who loves him, and success on the horizon, David Cornell appears to have it all. But the universe has other ideas. When five hours of David’s life vanish without explanation during a bizarre night-time drive, it will change the path of his fate and bring everything around him crashing down.
After Noe-bouk sacrifices its own future to save its home planet, it is put on a course of discovery that will span the universe. A course of discovery that will introduce it to a concept utterly alien to its world and way of life: love. A love that will transcend time, death and the universe itself.
When successful Scottish lawyer Alisdair dies of a heart attack, death is not what he expected. Finding himself in an infinite library filled with the memories of all who have ever lived, Alisdair decides to use the vast knowledge to help his granddaughter Elspeth find her place in a world that she has never wanted.
The Unity Game is literary sci-fi at its most thought-provoking and ambitious: a mind-bending sci-fi saga mixing deep world-building, interwoven plots, and a story that stretches across time and space. Perfect for fans of Ursula Le Guin, Isaac Asimov, Stanislaw Lem and Adrian Tchaikovsky.
“A complex, ambitious, and thought-provoking novel” – Kirkus Reviews

Despre autor
Leonora Meriel grew up in London, UK, but draws much of her inspiration from her years living in Ukraine, where she was co-founder of Ukraine’s largest bookshop and publishing platform and a part of the campaign to make Ukraine the most read country in Europe. Her debut novel, The Woman Behind the Waterfall, is set in western Ukraine and is a celebration of Ukrainian culture, language and custom. Her novel And Breathe centers on a Ukrainian oligarch and her latest novel Mbaquana Nights explores Ukrainian immigration at the turn of the nineteenth century. Her work has been hailed as “strange and beautiful” by writer Esther Freud, “ambitious and thought-provoking” by Kirkus Reviews, and “a literary work of art” by Richmond Magazine.
