Ilustration In Favor Of Books Tears in Rain (Bruna Husky #1)
As a replicant, or “technohuman,” Detective Bruna Husky knows two things: humans bioengineered her to perform dangerous, undesirable tasks, and she has just ten years on the United States of Earth before her body automatically self-destructs. But with “antitechno” rage on the rise and a rash of premature deaths striking her fellow replicants, she may have even less time than she thought.Investigating the mysterious deaths, Bruna delves into the fractious, violent history shared by humans and replicants, and struggles to engage the society that fails to understand her — yet created her. The deeper she gets, the deadlier her work becomes as she uncovers a vast, terrifying conspiracy bent on changing the very course of the world. But even as the darkness of her reality closes in, Bruna clings fiercely to life.

A good "continue" for Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?Thanks luiyo for recomendationLet me get this out of the way: This book was not irredeemably terrible. You can tell this because I actually finished it, and for this alone it gets two stars.But.But.The writing is stilted. I don't know if this is an artefact of the translation, but if it is, then the translator needs to get their act together, pronto.The story, despite its title (and the main character even viewing Blade Runner during the course of the book), bears little to no resemblance to Do Androids Dream. Dick fans, go
This was an entertaining science fiction mystery that was as much an exploration of what it means to live with an expiration date as mystery. Bruna Husky is a replicant. Replicants were created to do the dangerous, undesirable tasks in life. They were created to have a limited lifespan. Bruna was a combat rep and, after her term of service was over, she became a detective.She gets involved in a case that gets more and more complex when a fellow rep comes to her apartment and tries to kill her.
The book starts with Bruna sleeping and her neighbour knocking on her door. However, this is only a bad beginning for Bruna: her ass will be kicked several times while she tries to investigate several deaths. A great noir story with replicants that occurs in a futuristic version of Madrid. Great reading and a page turning. I loved this book madly.Bruna Husky no es una detective cualquiera, es una replicante: un ser creado artificialmente con una vida limitada para realizar tareas para los
Rosa Montero has a strong sensitivity but I couldn't find it enough for enjoying thos book. Inserted in a fictional environment, I wasn't caught by Bruna Husky feelings (actually she made me remeber a lot Lisbeth Salander).I wish I could feel more involved with the whole story.
Replicant detective Bruna Husky really made this an enjoyable read. Set in futuristic Madrid, the story surrounds the mystery of why the replicants (androids, like in Blade Runner) are seemingly going mad, killing other replicants & then committing suicide (that they gouge out their eyes before the last is described in particularly harrowing clarity. *cringe*). There's an interesting class division that plays out as we follow Bruna's investigation. I won't give away the answer to the mystery
