One of the most ambitious Czech science fiction of the last decade
Jakub Hussar's comprehensive debut novel is one of the most ambitious Czech science fiction of the last decade. Jakub has been creating his fictional universe for more than twenty years, and the book, like the previously successful online card game set in the same world, is a full testament to the incredible sophistication of this universe and the author's engaging attention to detail.
A historical biography of the Tal culture's harrowing journey to the remote landfill world of Coraab and its subsequent colonization. The central character of the book is the Venerable Tal Kusa-Gammah, the first of a long line of Coraab Lords of Mining, who at the end of her life confides her troubled fate to the reader. Thanks to her authentic testimony, today we can look at the events of the early Coraab era through the eyes of a woman whose courageous actions have made history forever.
