Chinese Summary/中文概要: 讲述少年的成长和人类的进化,“长生不老万事如意,是世上最糟糕的事”。
沃辛是一个被称为“天贼”的超能力者。
前半生他是遭人猎杀的逃犯,参与毁掉了一个虚假的永生世界;后半生他是拯救人类的上帝,在宇宙的尽头从零开始再造世界。
一万五千年以后,沃辛的子孙们完成了终极进化,打造出一个无痛无灾的极乐世界,但失望透顶的沃辛对他们说:“我希望自己十岁的时候就被阉了,就不会生下你们这些东西……”
沃辛系列是《安德的游戏》作者卡德的科幻处女作,经十二年反复打磨,定稿为《沃辛传奇》。
卡德说:“这本书第一次将所有沃辛的故事汇集在一起。沃辛是我科幻的根,这些故事蕴含真正的力量。”(DB)
