Tool of War

De: Paolo Bacigalupi

Narrado por: Sunil Malhotra

This third book in a major series by a best-selling science fiction author, Printz Award winner, and National Book Award finalist is the gripping story of the most provocative character from his acclaimed novels Ship Breaker and The Drowned Cities.

Tool, a half man/half beast designed for combat, is capable of so much more than his creators had ever dreamed. He has gone rogue from his pack of bioengineered "augments" and emerged a victorious leader of a pack of human soldier boys. But he is hunted relentlessly by someone determined to destroy him, who knows an alarming secret: Tool has found the way to resist his genetically ingrained impulses of submission and loyalty toward his masters.... The time is coming when Tool will embark on an all-out war against those who have enslaved him.

From one of science fiction's undisputed masters comes a riveting audiobook that pulls no punches.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"Suzanne Collins may have put dystopian literature on the YA map with The Hunger Games...but Bacigalupi is one of the genre's masters, employing inventively terrifying details in equally imaginative story lines." ( Los Angeles Times)

Reads like an action movie screenplay.

I'm a little sad I bought this one. It is technically science fiction but the science and cultural aspects are only lightly touched on. It deals with conditioning of soldiers but really misses on it's attempt for greater meaning. The ending is also kind of a non-ending. No greater resolution or profound statement. The whole thing seems a little lacking and repetitive. Bacigalupi's quintessential and profound novel remains Wind up Girl. Everything he has written since seems to be backwash. I will continue to buy his novels though. Another diamond may yet appear.

great story

I loved this story. Tool is my favorite character. I was so happy he got his closure.

¡No pude dejar de leerlo!

Una conclusión digna y satisfactoria para una trilogía fascinante. Simplemente debes leer y experimentar los libros tú mismo. ¡Se los recomiendo encarecidamente a los fanáticos de la ficción distópica!

Great ending

Great ending to a gripping trilogy. No one messes with Karta Kul The Tool Of War

Excellent science fiction

This series just keeps getting better.
I like this authors style and descriptions. I highly recommend the series

great original thoughtful science fiction

Paolo Bacigalupi continues his drowned cities universe in this book. Readers should probably read drowned cities before listening to this book. Clearly narrated with an interesting original story and characters this book was a delight.

I cannot get enough of this author

Tool of War follows on the heels of so many other amazing books by Paulo. This novel starts a bit slowly... but it soon builds to draw the reader in. There is a bit of Tool in every one of us... I can't be the only reader recognizing the "dog" hidden beneath my own human skin.

Intriguing story from start to finish.

I loved all of it from ship breaker through the drowned cities all the way to tool of war.

Another Triumph By P.B.

Great trilogy. Sorry that is concluded, but it was a find finish. Paolo, please write another adult novel; your last was Water Knife. I realize that YA literature is where the money is today. As fine as Water 🔪 w were of course Windup Girl. Plus I love the short, Dharma In My Pocket; all adult lit. Please, please tackle​ another environmental novel. You are a significant voice for the near future of the planet under climate change! I will continue to read and listen to anything that you write, but i am waiting your next adult novel.

Your fan,
