Descriere magazin:
A MAN AT THE END OF HIS ROPE MUST UNRAVEL A MYSTERY IN A FAR-FLUNG SECTOR OF THE GALAXY. THE WEB OF CONSPIRACY IS TIGHTLY WOVEN, AND JOHN ABBOTT IS BUT ONE MAN FIGHTING THE DARKNESS John Abbott is all in. He\'s up to his eyeballs in debt to pay for school, and he just moved his small family forty light-years from Earth for a plum job with the wealthy interstellar corporation The Sarovar Company. John\'s first assignment is to discreetly investigate possible corruption at the remote Arrowhawk Station, where Company traders buy the famous Sarovari Weave from the three-sided, crablike Weavers. John finds evidence of theft and worse, but when the guilty parties realize he\'s getting close, they come after him and his family. Can John catch the thieves and end their corrupt trade? Can he head off a war between the Company and the Weavers? Can he make a life for his family in this remote wilderness without corrupting himself? With no way back to Earth, the only direction for John Abbott and his family to go is forward--into danger. Praise for Abbott in Darkness: ...a dangerous alien species; economic intrigue...complex commerce and interplanetary trade; and a setting that mixes advanced tech with the unpredictable terrors of the wilderness...with murder, ambush, treachery, and war.--Library Journal ...detailed worldbuilding...the elaborate setting pulls together, and Butler\'s development of an extensive pidgin language adds depth to the world. --Publishers Weekly Butler succeeds superbly in bringing this future to life; faster-than-light travel aside, this feels like an all too plausible development of contemporary economics, which is of course one that is rather bleak. It\'s a future that\'s not unlike the Old West, and in a way that very much remembers the role of corporations in this bloody expansion.--Warped Factor Praise for D.J. Butler: It\'s like Jim Butcher crossed with Grapes of Wrath!--Larry Correia Butler and Ritchey return to Depression-era Utah for a second thrilling tale of murder and folk magic (after The Cunning Man). . . . The play between Hiram\'s earnest Mormonism and the more secular Michael\'s growing unease with folk magic adds depth to the father-son dynamic, and the false leads and eccentric side characters make for a delightful mystery. This well-crafted historical fantasy is sure to please.--Publishers Weekly I have come to appreciate the work of D. J. Butler; He is a recent writer in a tradition of science fictio
