Dan Abnett: Prospero Burns The wolves unleashed
A leglassabb Dan Abnett regény, amit valaha olvastam. A címadás rettentő módon nem stimmel tekintve hogy a címadó konfliktus a regény utolsó 5-10% -a… és ezzel sokat mondtam. Azt mondanám, hogy ez a Space Wolfs légió eredet-regénye, egy a 13. harcos jellegű narratívával bemutatva.
Ritka viszont az olyan HH regény amelyik kifejezetten nem Astartes karaktert követ nyomon exkluzív módon. Ez a megközelítés kifejezetten tetszett, de a regény első 10-15 % -át simán ki lehetett volna hagyni. De ez azt is jelenti, hogy az a része megállt volna a maga lábán, egy a wh40k világától teljesen független műként is.
Sokan panaszkodtak róla angol nyelvű fórumokon, hogy túl sok a főszereplő visszaemlékezése, én pont bennük láttam az értelmet, és az értelmes narratívát.

The more man masters, the more man finds there is to be mastered; the more man learns, the more he remembers he has forgotten.

When you have sympathy with the enemy, you know you have the wrong kind of allies.

Do you really want to learn about us?’
‘Yes.’
‘That means learning about survival. About killing.’
‘You mean war? I have lived most of my life on Terra, a world that is still riven by conflict as it restores itself. I’ve seen my fair share of war.’
‘I don’t mean war so much,’ said Ogvai doubtfully. ‘War’s just an elaboration and codification of a much purer activity, which is being alive. Sometimes, at the most basic level, to be alive you must stop other people being alive. This is what we do. We are extremely good at it.’
Dan Abnett: Prospero Burns The wolves unleashed
Sometimes the Upplander’s dreams picked him up and carried him outside the cave. They took him up to some high vantage where there were only stars overhead, in a roof of velvet blue, and sunlit lands below, a tapestry of worlds, all sewn together, all the worlds in creation, like the inlaid board of a great game. And on that board, epic histories played out for him. Nations and empires, creeds and races, rising and falling, bonding and fighting, forming alliances, making war. He witnessed unifications, annihilations, reformations, annexations, invasions, expansions, enlightenments. He saw it all from his lofty vantage, a seat so high and precarious that sometimes he had to cling on to the throne’s golden arms for fear of falling. Sometimes his dreams swept him back inside himself, into his own flesh, into his own blood, and there, at a microscopic level, he observed the universe of his own body as it disassembled atom from atom, his essence sampled down to the smallest genetic packet, like light sifted and split into its component colours by a subtle lens. He felt he was being dismantled, working part from working part, like an old timepiece, and every last piece of the damaskeened movement laid out for repair. He felt like a biological sample: a laboratory animal, belly slit and pegged open, its organs removed one by one like the gears of a pocket watch; like an insect, pinned and minutely sectioned for a glass slide to learn what made it tick.

‘We have lost more than we know,’ he said, ‘and we are losing more all the time. How can we take any pride in our development as a species when we excel at annihilation and fail to maintain even the most rudimentary continuity of knowledge with our ancestors?’
