Michael Cobley

    9 ottobre 1959

    La scrittura di Mike Cobley è profondamente informata da un'esplorazione filosofica e politica che dura da tutta la vita e che è iniziata in gioventù. Nutre un particolare affetto per la forma del racconto breve, sebbene il suo attuale interesse si concentri su opere narrative più ampie. I suoi romanzi presentano temi e tecniche intriganti che lo hanno affascinato fin dai suoi primi anni di scrittura. I lettori possono aspettarsi narrazioni distintive caratterizzate da prospettive uniche e una prosa avvincente.

      The Warcage is a feat of unprecedented stellar engineering: two hundred worlds harnessed to an artificial sun. Built to travel through space as a monument to peace between alien species, its voracious rulers have turned it into a nightmarish wasteland, capturing new planets for slaves and resources, then discarding the old. Now, when a verdant agri-world is pulled out of its orbit and a deal goes bad, it is up to the captain of a smuggling ship to journey into the Warcage and rescue his crew.
