Dla śledzących uważnie forum niespodzianka to nie jest, ale mogę oficjalnie potwierdzić, że REBIS zakupił prawa do nowego cyklu Webera.
Myśłę, że jest szansa na polskie wydanie w przyszłym roku.
Co ciekawe, to pierwszy cykl Webera wydawany poza Baenem.
Po lekturze pierwszych rozdziałów mogę powiedzieć, że porównania do Fundacji i Diuny są, ehmm, nieco mylące. Się dzieje
Poniżej krótka zajawka od wydawcy:
OFF ARMAGEDDON REEF by David Weber (Tor Books; January 2007)
Weber is popular for his “Honor Harrington” space-opera adventures, they have all been New York Times bestsellers and he can’t publish them fast enough for his devoted readers. Bearing witness to the rabid response to all things Weber, we’re extremely excited to announce that we will be publishing OFF ARMAGEDDON REEF in January!
This is the launch of a MAJOR new series by a mega-selling science fiction author!
Off Armageddon Reef is epic science fiction, a tale of sweep and consequence comparable to Frank Herbert’s Dune series and Isaac Asimov’s Foundation series.
Humanity pushed its way to the stars and encountered the Gbaba, a ruthless alien race that nearly wiped them out. The Gbaba can detect the emissions of an industrial civilization, so the human rulers of Safehold have taken extraordinary measures: with mind control and hidden high technology, they build a religion designed to keep Safehold society medieval forever. 800 years pass. In a hidden chamber on Safehold, an android from the far human past awakens. This android will emerge suitably disguised, and begin the process of provoking the technological progress against all odds. Faced with tremendous opposition, the new era of invention, and a fight that will inevitably lead to war. Its going to be a long process and it’s going to be the can’t-miss SF epic of the decade.
