The Genesis of Misery

內容簡介

內容簡介 結合太空歌劇與史實幻想，是「救世聖女」還是「相互利用」？未來世界，一個不為人知的窮困產礦星球上，Misery Nomaki發現自己擁有不可思議的力量，是「聖人」才擁有的能力，甚至有傳言甚囂塵上說她是下一個救世主。 這吸引了帝國內的反動勢力，皇族Alodia Lighting夫人，Misery於是投靠反動勢力，決定讓預言成真。An immersive, electrifying space-fantasy, Neon Yang's debut novel The Genesis of Misery is full of high-tech space battles and political machinations, starring a queer and diverse array of pilots, princesses, and prophetic heirs. "This is Joan of Arc meets Gideon the Ninth with a touch of Pacific Rim thrown in as a treat. A mind-blowing rollercoaster ride of a space opera, propulsive and strange in the best way. " -- Rebecca Roanhorse, New York Times bestselling authorIt’s an old, familiar story: a young person hears the voice of an angel saying they have been chosen as a warrior to lead their people to victory in a holy war.But Misery Nomaki (she they) knows they are a fraud.Raised on a remote moon colony, they don’t believe in any kind of god. Their angel is a delusion, brought on by hereditary space exposure. Yet their survival banks on mastering the holy mech they are supposedly destined for, and convincing the Emperor of the Faithful that they are the real deal.The deeper they get into their charade, however, the more they start to doubt their convictions. What if this, all of it, is real?A reimagining of Joan of Arc’s story given a space opera, giant robot twist, the Nullvoid Chronicles is a story about the nature of truth, the power of belief, and the interplay of both in the stories we tell ourselves."
