QUINTESSENCE
Book ID/图书代码： 13005513B62657
English Summary/英文概要： Imagine an Age of Exploration full of alchemy, human dissection, sea monsters, betrayal, torture, religious controversy, and magic. In Europe, the magic is thin, but at the edge of the world, where the stars reach down close to the Earth, wonders abound. This drives the bravest explorers to the alluring Western Ocean. Christopher Sinclair is an alchemist who cares only about one thing: quintessence, a substance he believes will grant magical powers and immortality. And he has a ship.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 想象一个充满着炼金术、人体解剖、海怪、背叛、酷刑、宗教争议,和魔法的地理大发现时代。在欧洲，魔法渐渐消失，但是在世界的边缘,星星延伸下来接近地球的地方,奇迹比比皆是。它驱使最勇敢的探险家来到充满诱惑力的西方海洋。克里斯托弗•辛克莱尔（Christopher Sinclair）是一个炼金士,他只关心一件事:精髓,他认为这种物质将赋予他魔力和不朽。而且，他有一艘船。（Susie）
Awards/获奖情况：“Quintessence is an utterly stunning work of imagination, a slipstream counterhistory set in a fourteenth century that is as audaciously imagined as any work of science fiction.”—Rosemary Edghill, coauthor of The Shadow of Albion
“With Quintessence David Walton proves that winning the Philip K. Dick Award was not a fluke, but a harbinger of things to come.”—Mike Resnick, Hugo and Nebula Award–winning author of the Oracle Trilogy
“Terminal Mind is high-intensity human drama set in a thoroughly imagined and highly plausible future.”—Orson Scott Card’s InterGalactic Medicine Show
“Terminal Mind is a fast-paced SF-thriller with a very human heart.”—Elaine Isaak, author of The Eunuch’s Heir
“[Walton’s] characters are firmly grounded in a social context. In Terminal Mind, the family and interpersonal conflicts are just as intriguing as the threat to society, with outcomes that are just as uncertain.”—Nancy Fulda, assistant editor, Baen’s Universe
