Il diavolo bianco

I'm sorry to see there are no reviews for this book because it's weird and fascinating at the same time. It's hard to find the world because it's alternate history, there're some elements of dystopia and a not-so-veiled satire of politics. Thomas Cale is a complex character on the moral grey side of t Leggi tutto

I enjoyed this addition to the series, despite feeling it was a little left field. I think the "quotes" from fictional books about the main character were a touch of genius. They often described the character's motives from one of two polar opposite standpoints and really helped cement Cale as a rea Leggi tutto

O escritor de forma inteligente, para não cair na repetição, retirou o Thomas Cale dos conflitos com os Redentores, e deu-nos um novo Thomas Cale, num Novo Mundo, num Estados Unidos transformado num barril de pólvora, luta de norte e sul pela abolição definitiva da escravatura. Mantendo porem, as su Leggi tutto

This book is set in a dystopian world. It follows Thomas Cale, who has had a very disturbing upbringing to be conditioned into some kind of ultimate warrior. However, his conscience fought back and he switched sides. His methods are still disturbing, but in his head he is doing what is necessary for Leggi tutto

I enjoyed his three earlier Cale books, in descending order of pleasure from the first one. All three were gripping, exciting stuff, as well as developing the fascinating, and irritating, character of Thomas Cale and a few others. But this was a sequel too far. The beginning was quite promising, wit Leggi tutto

It was one of the weirdest books I have ever read. I am afraid it had no appeal for me though I was hoping down to the very last pages that I somehow get hooked. The story is pretty basic, as old as mankind really: committing a crime for the greater good. However, all actions and places and characte Leggi tutto

I loved the first three books in this series, this book was very different from the previous 3 books in the series although I am not sure if that's only because I listened to this one on audible. there are certainly words used that made me uncomfortable to listen to on the cars audio system when dri Leggi tutto

i have half-remembered memories for the first three thomas cale books, so it was through this haze that i journey one more time with the left hand of god himself. this has strains of bancroft, acker and the bizarre, and its suitably weird.

è molto dispersivo, ti prerdi in quello che sta descrivendo, pensavo fosse un bel libro, e lo è non fraintendermi, ma non lo rileggerei, il finale è un po' scontato e un po' da vogliacco, mi ha mandato in blocco, perché ci sono delle parti in cui è sconvolgente, altre in cui non succede nulla.

Another excellent work of alternative past fiction that carries on the Left Hand of God trilogy. kept me strongly engaged throughout 4.5 stars
