Über diesen Titel

Welcome to the territory. Leave your metal behind, all of it. The bugs will eat it, and they'll go right through you to get it. Don't carry it, don't wear it, and for God's sake, don't come here if you've got a pacemaker.

The bugs showed up about 50 years ago - self-replicating, solar-powered, metal-eating machines. No one knows where they came from. They don't like water, though, so they've stayed in the desert Southwest. The territory. People still live here, but they do it without metal. Log cabins, ceramics, what plastic they can get that will survive the sun and heat. Technology has adapted, and so have the people.

Kimble Monroe has chosen to live in the territory. He was born here, and he is extraordinarily well adapted to it. He's one in a million. Maybe one in a billion.

In 7th Sigma, Gould builds an extraordinary SF novel of survival and personal triumph against all the odds.

Kritikerstimmen

"The story is compelling enough that I really did lose sleep to finish the book." ( The San Diego Union-Tribune)
" 7th Sigma offers further proof that good fiction isn’t necessarily about the originality of the tale itself, rather than about how it is told. Gould tells it well." ( Locus)

Unfortunately the story is a bit too unfocused and side characters tend to be clichéd. Otherwise the story has heart, makes great use of its Kipling inspiration, the South West location and SciFi Western setting, and is saved by a kickass narration that more than makes up in life and passion what the plot sometimes lacks in tension or originality.

Solid if bit lackluster story, excellently told
