-Titulo Original : Tool Of War (ship Breaker)
-Fabricante :
Little, Brown Books For Young Readers
-Descripcion Original:
Set in a dark future devastated by climate change, Tool of War is the third book in a major adventure series by a bestselling and award-winning science fiction author and starring the most provocative character from the acclaimed novels Ship Breaker and The Drowned Cities. In this gripping, eerily prescient sci-fi thriller that Kirkus described as masterful, Tool--a half-man/half-beast designed for combat--proves himself capable of so much more than his creators had ever dreamed. He has gone rogue from his pack of bioengineered augments and emerged a victorious leader of a pack of human soldier boys. But he is hunted relentlessly by someone determined to destroy him, who knows an alarming secret: Tool has found the way to resist his genetically ingrained impulses of submission and loyalty toward his masters... The time is coming when Tool will embark on an all-out war against those who have enslaved him. From one of science fictions undisputed masters comes a riveting and all-too-timely page-turner that explores the intricate relationships connecting hunter and prey, master and enslaved, human and monster. Suzanne Collins may have put dystopian literature on the YA map with The Hunger Games...but Bacigalupi is one of the genres masters, employing inventively terrifying details in equally imaginative story lines. --Los Angeles Times From School Library Journal Gr 10 Up-The third entry in his award-winning dystopian series, following Ship Breaker and The Drowned Cities, tells the story of Tool the augment, a genetically engineered half-man made up of a cocktail of genetic material-human, dog, tiger. Augments are designed to be the ultimate killing machines while remaining fiercely loyal to his creators. However, once Tool discovers that he can suppress his submissive instincts, he rebels against his creators and splinters off from his augment pack to lead an army of soldier boys-human child soldiers-to capture the Drowned Cities. Tools creators find him and wipe out his army, which forces him back into hiding. With the help of a new pack-a band of teen merchant sailors-and old allies, Tool resumes his desrtructive mission. Bacigalupi proves once again that he is a master of world-building; the world he created in the previous two books is just as desolate, violent, and intriguing in this installment. The tension-from the time Tools creators rain fire down upon him in the Drowned Cities, to when Tool finally comes face-to-face with the man who built him-is relentless throughout the narrative, and the lack of primary character development (perhaps a result of expecting readers to have plowed through the first two books) allows for the introduction and development of supporting characters, such as Jones, a junior analyst and young prodigy for Mercier Corporation who is helping track Tool down. The amount of violence and bloodshed makes this more suitable for an older audience. VERDICT A strong, entertaining continuation of Bacigalupis postapocalyptic series; teens will be hoping for future installments. Hand to those who devoured the first two books.-Tyler Hixson, Brooklyn Public Library Review Praise for Tool of War:A 2018 Locus Awards Finalist for Young Adult Books*Bacigalupis environmentally ravaged world remains both richly described and terrifying, his characters diverse and complex. Through Tool, he explores free will and the consequences of humans playing at being gods. ...Well worth the wait. Publishers Weekly, starred reviewBacigalupi masterfully examine[s] larger questions about humanity, genetic engineering, loyalty, freedom, violence, and survival. This striking novel...is an all-too-timely reminder that humans actions have the power to change the world for better or worse. The Horn BookMakes readers think about what it means to be human, the price of genetic engineering, and the inhumanity of the corporations who put profit above all else. Booklist
