“Samuil Petrovitch is a survivor. He survived the nuclear fallout in St. Petersburg and hid in the London Metrozone – the last city in England. He’s lived this long because he’s a man of rules and logic. For example, getting involved = a bad idea.

But when he stumbles into a kidnapping in progress, he acts without even thinking. Before he can stop himself, he’s saved the daughter of the most dangerous man in London. And clearly saving the girl = getting involved. Now, the equation of Petrovitch’s life is looking increasingly complex. Russian mobsters + Yakuza + something called the New Machine Jihad = one dead Petrovitch. But Petrovitch has a plan – he always has a plan – he’s just not sure it’s a good one.”

Já tinha comprado o número 2, “Theories of Flight”, da série Metrozone de Simon Morden a preço da chuva, mas a compra do número 1 foi sendo adiada, adiada por motivos que agora desconheço. A semana passada comprei, finalmente, o livro 1 da série, “Equations of Life“, e já agora porque não o segundo volume da trilogia The Last Policeman de Ben H. Winters, “Countdown City”.

Assim que começar a ler Metrozone devo preparar a compra de “Degrees of Freedom” e “The Curve of the Earth”.

As leituras da Primavera estão a ser preparadas.
