![]() ![]() ![]() Tchaikovsky’s vision is bizarre, frightening, and wildly imaginative. ![]() Woven throughout are flashbacks to the planet’s original colonization, as transplants from Earth struggle to adapt to their inhospitable new home. But the Order soon realize that the behavior of the brackers is beyond their ken-and even stranger threats lurk nearby. A demon is terrorizing the land to save her people to invoke the pact between her family and the Elder Sorcerer, who lives in the local tower. Elder Race is about Lynesse's Fourth Daughter, who lives in a high medieval state. ![]() As Handry and Melory negotiate with Amorket, another of the Order arrives to request aid in a war at the village of Tsuno, which is under siege by beasts called brackers. Elder Race: This was the first work I read of his. At Orovo, a regular stop on their travels, they are confronted by a new type of expert system, a Champion, hosted by a woman named Amorket and sent to fight the Order. His sister, Melory, is host to an “expert system,” the ghost of a physician that serves as a source of ancestral knowledge. In the decade since Handry was Severed from his village and assumed leadership of the Order of Cain, a society of fellow outcasts, he’s managed to create a loose network between the roving Order and the stationery villages of their unnamed planet. Tchaikovsky’s deliciously creepy sequel to The Expert System’s Brother showcases just how alien other worlds can be. ![]()
