Synopsis
&“Part BioShock, part X-Files, part Sopranos—and 100%, uncut Nickle . . . a glorious, chaotic delight&” from the Bram Stoker Award–winning author of Volk (Peter Watts, author of Blindsight). Post–Cold War, a group of Russians bred from childhood to be psychic spies are called from around the globe to achieve their true purpose: world domination. But some of them have flourished in the lives they have carved out for themselves—often in nefarious ways—and they will not give up their freedom without a fight, even as a new generation of telepathic children, the beautiful dreamers, are coming into power . . . In Rasputin&’s Bastards, David Nickle—the acclaimed author of Eutopia, Monstrous Affections, and Volk—offers readers &“an enormous tale, bewilderingly complex, but with lots of twists and turns that reward close attention. It is grotesque, violent, and exciting, with a supernatural tinge that is his hallmark&” (Cory Doctorow, BoingBoing). &“This novel is supernatural eeriness at its best, with intriguing characters, no clear heroes, and a dark passion at its heart. Horror aficionados and fans of Stephen King&’s larger novels should appreciate this macabre look at the aftermath of the Cold War.&” —Library Journal &“Stiffly compelling. Once you&’re done, there&’s no question: the hours spent enfolded in Nickle&’s imagination are well spent. You won&’t ever feel the desire to ask for them back.&” —January Magazine &“A journey from the depths of the sea, the heart of Mother Russia, to the darkest corners of the soul.&” —K. E. Bergdoll, The Crow&’s Caw
