Two months have past since a myriad of alien objects clenched about the Earth, screaming as they burned. The heavens have been silent since--until a derelict space probe hears whispers from a distant comet. Something talks out there: but not to us.
Who you do send to meet the alien
when the alien doesn't want to meet?
You send a linguist with multiple personalities carved surgically into her brain. You send
a biologist so radically interfaced with machinery that he sees x-rays and tastes ultra-
sound, so compromised by grafts and splices he no longer feels his own flesh. You
send a pacifist warrior whose career-defining moment was an act of treason. You
send a monster to command them all, an extinct hominid predator once called
vampire, recalled from the grave with the voodoo of recombinant genetics
and the blood of sociopaths. And you send a synthesist — an
informational topologist with half his mind gone — as an
interface between here and there, a conduit through
which the Dead Center might hope to understand
the Bleeding Edge.
You send them all to the edge of interstellar space, praying you
can trust such freaks and retrofits with the fate of a world.
You fear they may be more alien than the thing they've
been sent to find.
But you'd give anything for that to be true, if you
only knew what was waiting for them...
有能力的就去看原文吧 不知道是译者知难而退,遇到理解不了的句子就直接选择性漏译呢 还是编辑给删掉了,序章打头的一首诗,无缘无故就没了,第二页还没看完,又有两处直接漏掉,译文风格暂且不说,本来很细微感触的东西都变成了套话,其他的众看官慢慢发现吧,难怪我发现这伙...
下一本應該要來讀個輕鬆一點的科幻小說,這本真的太難啃,跟 The Quantum Thief 一樣,作者完全就是個設定控,他們不解釋!
评分"So there you have it: a memoir told from meat to machinery. A tale told to myself, for lack of someone else to take an interest."haha,I'm interested........

评分core setting very scientific and exciting, but the story itself is not interesting, and the stupid part of vampire should be deleted.
评分什么时候还是搞一本原文来看看……说什么能和黑暗森林相比,黑暗森林和这个比就是渣呀,渣……
