The Steel Remains Ebook THE STEEL REMAINS PDF, EPUB, EBOOK Richard Morgan | 400 pages | 09 Jul 2009 | Orion Publishing Co | 9780575084810 | English | London, United Kingdom The Steel Remains PDF Book Books - the warm, leather-skinned weight of them in your hands, the way they smelled when you lifted them close to your face. Truthfully, when I first discovered The Steel Remains ages ago, I didn't realize it was the same author. First I had a buddy read set up with Moss, for which I ordered the paperback from the other side of the world. Was this review helpful to you? You can smell his breath, take his pulse and check his pupils to see if he's ingested anything nasty, or you can believe him. Morgan completists, fantasy haters. Clearly Morgan wants us to like his main characters - though he tries to make them hard to like by investing them with traits and peccadillos that I imagine he thinks will challenge some genre readers - but having them talk like hired goons from a Guy Ritchie movie utterly ruined it for me. Some speak in whispers of the return of the Aldrain, a race of widely feared, cruel yet beautiful demons. The "elves" also left behind a magical sword, wielded by war hero Gil. Writer: Josh Mendoza. I thought this was a brilliant fantasy "noir" novel that was never boring. For one, he is a hero of a past war, in which humanity had to defend itself against an invasion of a non-human lizard-like race. The Steel Remains Quotes Showing of Most of the markers were simple slabs hewn from the self- same stone as the mountain, reflecting the locals' phlegmatic attitude to the business of dying. He misses the world he left behind after the war was over and has issues fitting in with the narrorw-minded world of the people around him. Then put them out by pissing on them. It promises you a rich world, a solid narrator with just the right touch of dry sarcasm, and a constant action. Maybe Bashka'll buy you a replacement jerkin out of sheer gratitude, if he can afford it after he's paid to rebury his mother. Just as deeply buried, just as hard and unyielding to all the softer things you are and want and own to. His mother, who no doubt already had her suspicions, said nothing. Hopefully a boost to the bank balance! The 'socializing' that took place did not exactly help the mystery of these legendary 'swamp wraiths'. Again, Archeth's storyline felt the most interesting, with personality-laden remnants of the ship Helmsmen giving enticing hints about space-travel. There were violent sex scenes, and very sexual fighting sequences with Ringil stroking the hilt of his sword like a prick, I kid you not , also flashbacks , but I largely skimmed all of the above. After all, he is messing with fantasy tropes here and you can't mess with the romantic male fantasy hero more than making him gay. Or at least, it's a very twisted version of it. Shelves: multi-culti , friend-recommended , unable-to-star , fantasy. Search the Site. Edit Cast Cast overview, first billed only: Lulu Antariksa A very interesting book. In many ways, his writing reminded me of one of my all-time favorite writers, Mark Lawrence. Ringil didn't know if he felt that hard up yet. There's also a mystical part about the 'gods' working to stop this from occurring that ends up just being confusing. And maybe that book itself, which I read a few years ago. And I hope I don't regret my gushing review when the sequel to The Steel Remains comes out next month. The Magpie Lord and it sequels by K. Overall, good writing and a decent plot merit a three- star rating. My only complaint is the loss of the arc of suspense early on. View all 21 comments. The Steel Remains Writer About the Author Richard K. He fights the Dwenda, named Seethlaw, but is captured and taken to the Aldrain Marches, the grey places between worlds. The cum-splattering is not lurking round every corner. Morgan's story was filled with a bunch of anti-war, anti-capitalist, and anti-religious themes as well as dealing with various types of bigotry. And still it never steals the show, it's simply there, as a constant reminder that we haven't changed one fucking bit, but we should. He watched with somber satisfaction as it died. Sign in to Purchase Instantly. There is one respect in which The Steel Remains strikes a chord with me. I will note that I found it both more cohesive and intriguing than the Prince of Thorns, so if you were interested in either of those series, you might enjoy this. This one has been on my radar for some time. We see him getting his cock sucked and his ass fucked. A start toward looking at blurbs and reviews and comparing your public libraries' catalogs. I would recommend Joe Abercrombie or Steven Erickson if you want hard fantasy that avoids the tropes of the genre. Like someone is ready to take back what is theirs? It will not be for everyone, which is understandable. Authors that are too fucking unimaginative to give a woman strength in her role, without having to endure violence at the hands of a man first. Apparently it is. War, violence, intolerance, politics, and religion all play a part. Richard Morgan Online. With the first, I was intrigued to see how well a straight male writer, working firmly in the hardboiled school of fiction — an idiom largely notable for its adrenaline and perhaps testosterone fuelled action — might succeed at crafting a gay protagonist that felt authentic, identifiable. Ringil was a hero of the bloody wars against the lizards but that counts for little in his homeland since his shameful sexual preferences are public knowledge. If you are of the prudish or squeamish variety then you likely have more cause to be concerned with the amount of bad language and graphic violence in the story. View all 32 comments. Well, The Steel Remains gives us a character who is pretty much immoral, bloodthirsty, hated among his people, gay and willing to cut to pieces anyone who pisses him off. No time to wipe it off. Science Fiction Fantasy. Looking for something to watch? The central theme throughout is of intense homophobia within the society. Use the HTML below. Some have found it excessive, suggesting that political idealism or shrewd controversialism have led to the boat being pushed out further here than it would be with straight sex, to the detriment of the work. After the final battle was won, he stayed in a little nearby town for 9 years, telling war stories to drunken patrons and practicing sword play with interested teens - mainly to just avoid going home to his noble family in Trelayne where he's not particularly welcome as a 'degenerate faggot' who -by law- should be put to death for his sins. Baby, in the aesthetic of noir the whole damn world is nonsense — airs and graces, pipe-dreams and delusions of grandeur around the dog-eat-dog reality. Crazy Credits. For sure. Keep track of everything you watch; tell your friends. Still, I've been off on fantasy lately, unless it's the genre-bending type. Scott Bakker s books - they always have dark, almost black undertones and a strange sense of defeat, even when you win - while the writing style and language and the beginning chapters of the book reminds me of The Lies of Locke Lamora by Scott Lynch. It touches very neatly and deftly on subjects such as race and sexual orientation. It was entirely his own macabre idea, conjured up when he first read about the creatures in accounts by travelers to the Kiriath wastes. The Steel Remains Reviews May 10, carol. Just me of course as I said the ratings on this tend to spread out a bit The pseudo-medieval world-building is fucking intriguing. Welcome back. Was this review helpful to you? She remained in the Empire as a sort of consultant and engineer to the Emperor when the rest of her people departed the human realm. A yard and a half of tempered Kiriath steel, Ringil's broadsword hung above the fireplace in a scabbard woven from alloys that men had no names for, though any Kiriath child could have identified them from age five upward. Harvey Tobias Jelinek It is the first fantasy book by Morgan, a noted science fiction author known for the Takeshi Kovacs trilogy and the standalone novels Market Forces and Black Man. I love dark and horribly violent things.. Enlarge cover. I assumed the 'gods' were post-hum …more I came away with the impression the world of the story was either an alt-Earth or the Earth very far in the future. Shelves: read-in , fantasy. The peaks of the mountains that the town nestled under were already capped with snow, and it was reckoned that Gallows Gap would be impassable before Padrow's Eve. Meanwhile, Egar Dragonbane, a clan chief who fought alongside Ringil in the war and even killed a dragon thus the name is now back with his people in the steppe, leading his clan like his father before him. This is something, in fact, that all three main characters share in common. The Steel Remains is a good book but it is not special in the fantasy genre in the same way Altered Carbon is in the sci-fi genre.

    GENERIC AFFINITIES, POSTHUMANISMS, SCIENCE-FICTIONAL IMAGININGS SPECULATIVE MATTER: GENERIC AFFINITIES, POSTHUMANISMS AND SCIENCE-FICTIONAL IMAGININGS By LAURA M. WIEBE, B.A., M.A. A Thesis Submitted to the School of Graduate Studies in Partial Fulfilment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy McMaster University © Copyright by Laura Wiebe, October 2012 McMaster University DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY (2012) Hamilton, Ontario (English and Cultural Studies) TITLE: Speculative Matter: Generic Affinities, Posthumanisms and Science-Fictional Imaginings AUTHOR: Laura Wiebe, B.A. (University of Waterloo), M.A. (Brock University) SUPERVISOR: Professor Anne Savage NUMBER OF PAGES: vi, 277 ii ABSTRACT Amidst the technoscientific ubiquity of the contemporary West (or global North), science fiction has come to seem the most current of genres, the narrative form best equipped to comment on and work through the social, political and ethical quandaries of rapid technoscientific development and the ways in which this development challenges conventional understandings of human identity and rationality. By this framing, the continuing popularity of stories about paranormal phenomena and supernatural entities – on mainstream television, or in print genres such as urban fantasy and paranormal romance – may seem to be a regressive reaction against the authority of and experience of living in technoscientific modernity. Nevertheless, the boundaries of science fiction, as with any genre, are relational rather than fixed, and critical engagements with Western/Northern technoscientific knowledge and practice and modern human identity and being may be found not just in science fiction “proper,” or in the scholarly field of science and technology studies, but also in the related genres of fantasy and paranormal romance.

  • La Fantasy Française
    LA FANTASY FRANÇAISE © Anato Finnstark Bibliographie sélective Janvier 2020 La Fantasy française et francophone Même si elle plonge ses racines dans la mythologie et les textes antiques, le conte, le roman médiéval et le roman d’aventure, on considère que la fantasy est née comme genre en Grande-Bretagne à l’époque victorienne. En étroite relation au départ avec l’enfance, la fantasy s’est constituée comme genre autonome avec le succès public de l’édition américaine du Seigneur des anneaux. La fantasy littéraire s’est alors rapidement diversifiée et ramifiée en diverses branches, certaines proches d’autres littératures de l’imaginaire comme la science-fiction ou le fantastique, d’autres du roman d’aventures ou du roman historique. À tous ces genres, elle ajoute un ingrédient majeur, la magie, résurgence moderne du merveilleux qui repose sur la suspension de l’incrédulité. En France, le genre s’est implanté plus tardivement que dans les pays anglo-saxons, à partir des années 1980. Après les premières traductions de l’anglais dans les années 1970, l’engouement de la jeunesse, dans les années 1980, pour les jeux de rôle, puis les jeux vidéo, qui exploitent le caractère visuel et ludique du genre, créent les conditions de son succès. À partir des années 1990, le nombre de romans explose, avec l’apparition d’éditeurs et de collections spécialisés (Mnémos, Bragelone, Critic, Nestiveqnen, etc.). Les romans de fantasy français et francophones les plus intéressants sont souvent des textes qui n’appartiennent pas au noyau central du genre, la highfantasy, mais à ses marges. Ils opèrent une subversion de ses codes, pratiquent le métissage avec la science-fiction (science-fantasy), le roman urbain (urban fantasy), le roman historique (steampunk) voire le roman sentimental (romantic fantasy).

  • Norton Conducted by Paul Walker Andre Norton: Yes, I Will Agree to the Interview, but I Must in All Fairness Warn You That I Do Not Live a Very Exciting Life
    No. 40 September 1972 An Interview With Andre Norton Conducted by Paul Walker Andre Norton: Yes, I will agree to the interview, but I must in all fairness warn you that I do not live a very exciting life. In fact, I live a rather dull one—so if you are expecting fireworks, you will be disappointed. Also, I am not of the ‘new wave’ writers, but rather a very staid teller of old fashioned stories with firm plots and morals. So be warned and consider . "A very staid teller of old fashioned stories with firm plots and morals.” Why do you prefer this kind of story? Is it the kind of story you prefer to read? And if so, who are your favorite writers? Yes, I prefer reading the type of story I write—that is, a tightly plotted action story. The ‘new wave’ fiction, with sprawling action and the anti-hero, is certainly NOT to my taste. And I see no reason for piling in sex scenes—much more can be accomplished by putting the reader’s imagination to work—under-stating rather than over-stating. That, to me, is the better course in writing. In sf, my favorite writers are Poul Anderson, Eric Frank Russell, James Schmitz, Ursula Le Guin, and Hal Clement. Their books I re-read—along with H. Beam Piper, from whom, alas, we shall have no more good tales. To me these people, their stories, appeal—they absorb my imagination. I can identify with their main characters. In fantasy, my favorites are Tolkien, de Camp, David Mason, Fritz Leiber—again, master story tellers.
