Harry Harrison

Saga o zemnom mire, poshedshem v svoem razvitii ne tem putem, kakim on sleduet do sikh por. Globalnaja katastrofa, iz-za kotoroj vymerli na planete gigantskie jaschery, oboshla Zemlju storonoj, i reptilii, v protsesse evoljutsii obretja razum, sozdali sobstvennuju tsivilizatsiju, niskolko ne pokhozhuju na ljudskuju. Vyraschennye iz semjan goroda, matriarkhat, kollektivnyj razum, geneticheski perestroennye zhivotnye... I mir ljudej, protivostojaschij im, - chuzhdyj, vrazhdebnyj i agressivnyj. Kto vyzhivet v postojannykh bitvakh - ljudi ili iilane', kak na jazyke etogo mira nazyvajut rasu reptilij? Komu prinadlezhit buduschee? Trilogija Garri Garrisona - priznannaja klassika zhanra i imeet besschetnoe chislo pochitatelej vo vsem mire. Izdanie proilljustrirovano rabotami anglijskogo khudozhnika Billa Sandersona.

Kto iz pochitatelej Garri Garrisona ne znaet Stalnuju Krysu?! Dzhim di Griz, on zhe Stalnaja Krysa, prozvannyj tak za svoe nechelovecheskoe vezenie. Velikij plut i moshennik, on umeet vykhodit sukhim iz vody v ljuboj situatsii, kakoj by beznadezhnoj ona ponachalu ni predstavljalas. Dazhe kogda ego pripirajut k stenke i vynuzhdajut sotrudnichat so sluzhboj kosmicheskoj bezopasnosti, v rezultate ne ochen-to ponimaesh, na kogo Stalnaja Krysa rabotaet - na sebja ili na novykh khozjaev. A vsja istorija nachinalas tak: Dzhim di Griz, togda esche ne Stalnaja Krysa, a prostoj semnadtsatiletnij paren s zabytoj bogom zakholustnoj planetki, reshil podatsja v prestupniki. Tolko mezhdu"reshit" i "stat" rasstojanie nichut ne menshe, chem ot Zemli do tsentra Galaktiki. Znachit, nuzhno najti nastavnika, kotoryj tebe pomozhet dostich professionalnykh vysot. Im stanovitsja dlja Dzhima velikij Slon, legenda kriminalnogo mira. On-to i prevratit vcherashnego shalopaja v Stalnuju Krysu, i radi nego, uchitelja, kogda tot stanet zhertvoj khitrogo kapitana Garta, Dzhim di Griz pojdet sluzhit v armiju, chtoby otomstit za zlodejstvo...

Bill, geroj Galaktiki... Kuda by ego ni brosila sudba - v voronku li bezumnoj vojny s rasoj miroljubivykh chindzherov, v jadovitye li bolota nedruzhestvennoj ljudjam planety Venioly ili na mrachnye podzemnye urovni Geliora, stolitsy imperii, - otovsjudu on vykhodit geroem. A vse nachalos s togo, chto prostoj derevenskij paren s zakholustnoj planetki Figerinadon-2, ulovkami imperskikh verbovschikov ugodivshij v kosmicheskij desant, sluchajno vypuskaet raketu i sbivaet vrazheskij flagman. Terri Pratchett nazval eto proizvedenie Garrisona samym smeshnym romanom, kotoryj suschestvuet v fantastike. V "Fantasticheskoj sage" predpriimchivye gollivudskie kinodejateli, ne imeja ni deneg, ni stsenarija, ni tolkovykh akterov, otpravljajutsja na mashine vremeni v surovye vremena Srednevekovja, chtoby snjat film o vikingakh - o tom, kak oni otkryli Ameriku. Dejstvitelno, zachem dengi, zachem stsenarij, aktery i dekoratsii, kogda prikhodish na vse gotovoe?.. I "Bill - geroj Galaktiki", i "Fantasticheskaja saga" vkhodjat v zolotoj fond mirovoj fantastiki.

The science fiction books Deathworld, Deathworld 2, and Deathworld 3, as well as the short story "The Mothballed Spaceship," were written by American author Harry Harrison. Deathworld was first published in 1960 and was serialized in Astounding Science Fiction. Deathworld 2 was originally titled The Ethical Engineer and serialized in Analog (1973, written as part of a tribute to John W. Campbell). A gambler who becomes entangled with colonists on a very hostile planet is the story's main character. Jason dinAlt, a professional gambler who exploits his unstable psionic powers to manipulate the odds in his favor, is the protagonist of Deathworld. He receives a challenge from Kerk Pyrrus, an ambassador from the planet Pyrrus, while visiting the planet Cassylia, to use gambling at a state-run casino to turn a substantial sum of money into an enormous sum. He prevails and escapes the frantic attempts of the planetary administration to recover the money. The city need not perish with the junkmen who are unwilling to adapt. There are many valuable worlds out there that are too harsh for colonization by regular people. Where others fail, Pyrrans can endure.

Roman Garri Garrisona i Marvina Minski "Vybor po Tjuringu" ne daet otveta na vopros, kto pobedit - iskusstvennyj intellekt, stavshij chelovekom, ili chelovek, pererodivshijsja v iskusstvennyj intellekt. Kniga zastavljaet zadumatsja nad etim. Chitatel, vozmozhno, pridet k sobstvennomu resheniju, a esli ne pridet - zhdat ostalos nedolgo, ved vremja dejstvija romana prikhoditsja na 2023-2026 gody. Kto znaet, realnaja istorija i istorija vymyshlennaja mogut i sovpast... Garri Garrison - velikij pisatel-fantast. Marvin Minski - velikij spetsialist v oblasti iskusstvennogo intellekta. Alan Tjuring - velikij matematik, odin iz ottsov sovremennykh kompjuterov. Brajan Delejni - velikij uchenyj, sozdannyj voobrazheniemGarri Garrisona i Marvina Minski. Eti chetyre genija soedinilis v odnoj knige, chtoby poprobovat razobratsja: kto my takie? Chto takoe nash razum? Khvatit li nashego razuma, chtoby vyzhit? I kto pobedit - iskusstvennyj intellekt, stavshij chelovekom, ili chelovek, pererodivshijsja v iskusstvennyj intellekt? No, ozhidaja togo ili inogo iskhoda, sleduet pomnit slova glavnogo geroja romana: "V kontse kontsov, edinstvennyj povod schitat drugikh ljudej razumnymi - eto kogda oni vedut sebja razumno, kak i polagaetsja ljudjam".

Znatok remesel, providets i voin Shef Sigvardsson podnjalsja iz samykh nizov, chtoby vozglavit moguschestvennyj narod vikingov. No ego rastuschee korolevstvo ugrozhaet suschestvovaniju vsej Evropy, i on obzavelsja mnozhestvom opasnejshikh vragov. Tserkovnye ierarkhi i ikh sojuzniki, fanatiki iz rytsarskogo religioznogo ordena, pokljalis svergnut Shefa ljuboj tsenoj. Chtoby ispolnit obet, im neobkhodimo razdobyt svjaschennoe kope, oborvavshee zhizn Khrista, i vozrodit Svjaschennuju Rimskuju imperiju. Povinujas nisposlannym svyshe videnijam, Shef srazhaetsja, chtoby izmenit khod istorii, no kazhetsja, dazhe sami bogi vstupili v zagovor protiv nego.

God 865-j. Britanskimi ostrovami pravjat vrazhdujuschie koroli, a koroljami pravit Tserkov, besposchadno raspravljajas so vsemi, kto osparivaet ee vlast. Tolko groznye vikingi ne strashatsja khristianskikh ierarkhov i krepko derzhatsja za svoju veru. Molodoj kuznets Shef, rozhdennyj znatnoj anglijskoj plennitsej ot vozhdja razbojnikov-severjan, voleju sudby - a mozhet byt, voleju jazycheskikh bogov, - stanovitsja vragom sobstvennogo naroda.

Ponimaja, chto drakkary vikingov ne mogut protivostojat mechuschim grecheskij ogon galeram, Shef v poiskakh ravnotsennogo oruzhija otpravljaetsja v novyj pokhod - na Vostok, k sokrovischnitse znanij musulmanskoj tsivilizatsii.
