Krátky popis
A novel that is simultaneously harrowing, dark, dangerous, funny
and uplifting from the author of the Southern Reach trilogy “Am I a
person?” Borne asks Rachel, in extremis.“Yes, you are a person,”
Rachel tells him. “But like a person, you can be a weapon, too.” A
ruined city of the future lives in fear of a despotic, gigantic
flying bear, driven mad by the tortures inflicted on him by the
Company, a mysterious biotech firm. A scavenger, Rachel, finds a
creature entangled in his fur. She names it Borne. At first, Borne
looks like nothing at all? a green lump that might be a discard
from the Company. But he reminds Rachel of her homeland, an island
nation long lost to rising seas, and she prevents her lover, Wick,
from rendering down Borne as raw genetic material for the special
kind of drugs he sells. But nothing is quite the way it seems: not
the past, not the present, not the future. If Wick is hiding
secrets, so is Rachel?and Borne most of all. What Rachel finds
hidden deep within the Company will change everything and everyone.
There, lost and forgotten things have lingered and grown. What they
have grown into is mighty indeed.
