Specificatii
The Yiddish Policeman's Union meets The Windup Girl when a female
PI goes up against a ruthless gangster--just as both humans and
robots agitate for independence in an Argentinian colony in
Antarctica. In Argentine Antarctica, Eliana Gomez is the only
female PI in Hope City--a domed colony dependent on electricity
(and maintenance robots) for heat, light, and survival in the icy
deserts of the continent. At the center is an old amusement
park--now home only to the androids once programmed to
entertain--but Hope City's days as a tourist destination are long
over. Now the City produces atomic power for the mainland while
local factions agitate for independence and a local mobster,
Ignacio Cabrera, runs a brisk black-market trade in illegally
imported food. Eliana doesn't care about politics. She doesn't even
care much that her boyfriend, Diego, works as muscle for Cabrera.
She just wants to save enough money to escape Hope City. But when
an aristocrat hires Eliana to protect an explosive personal secret,
Eliana finds herself caught up in the political tensions
threatening to tear Hope City apart. In the clash of backstabbing
politicians, violent freedom fighters, a gangster who will stop at
nothing to protect his interests, and a newly sentient robot
underclass intent on a very different independence, Eliana finds
her job coming into deadly conflict with Diego's--just as the
electricity keeping Hope City from freezing begins to fail... With
the inner workings of the mob combined with the story of a
revolution, Clarke brings novelty and delight to steampunk
Antarctica in this complex and lovely mystery (Publishers Weekly,
starred review). Our Lady of the Ice questions what it means to be
human, what it means to be free, and whether we're ever able to
transcend our pasts and our programming to find true independence.
