![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() “ Sonnie’s Edge” - Gladiatorial combat stories have a fairly long history in sf, and this story is in that tradition. The important thing about working in such a sub-genre is that you do it with flare and bring something new to the idea. Hamilton largely succeeds on both counts. Here the combat is between engineered beasts (with just enough vital organs to keep them functioning in combat and things like liver and kidneys relegated to support pods hooked up between bouts), beasts controlled by affinity links which are cloned organisms implanted in two parties to enable a sort of telepathy. ![]()
