About ‘The Last Legends of Earth’
Rated 5/5 stars on Amazon (38 reviews).
“The latest novel by Attanasio (Radix) partakes of elements of both fairy
tale and high-tech science fiction. Billions of years in the future, long
after the extinction of humankind and of the planet Earth, humans have
been resurrected as pawns in a cosmic power struggle waged in a distant
world. Tall and ungainly Chan-ti Beppu, who can expect only a spinster's
life in her native land, travels by lynk (a portal joining even remote
regions) to the beautiful city of N'ym, where she woos and wins Ned
O'Tennis. A fighter pilot, he is one of the Aesirai, a human strain
crafted from the genetic code of Earth's Vikings and unmolested by the
lethal, spiderlike zotl who prey on all other humans. But when war heats
up Ned is called away, and Chan-ti finally must seek her lover in the
treacherous Overworld, where no humans are safe. Theirs is an epic love
story, intricate, wildly imaginative and touching.”-Publishers Weekly
“An epic battle between two alien races spans thousands of years during
which a re-constituted human race serves as bait and trap in a war they
cannot hope to win…Explores the vast reaches of time from human and
inhuman perspectives, and provides a perfect vehicle for the author's
boundless imagination. Highly recommended.”-Library Journal
