Carve the Sky Alexander Jablokov 9780380715213 Books

Very well written science fiction story. It's Alexander Jablokov‘s first novel and he offers a number of elegantly phrased observations and insights. It’s set about four centuries hence in a world where humanity has survived a nuclear war and expanded into the Solar System--at least as far as the Asteroid Belt. It's as much about art as science; here is a short excerpt: "He was a collector of finished works, and did not truly understand the nature of the artist’s task, the will that brought forth a work of art where none had been before. For the first time, his mind leaped ahead from the materials to the finished work, and he had at least an inkling of creation."

I see this gap working in both directions between sales people and engineers. The former understand how to influence people’s decisions, the latter how to make matter and technology do something useful. It's likely this gap will exist for at least a few more centuries

I started reading this novel while I was spending 11 days in the county jail for harrassment, which only means I said something someone didn't like, but I was moved to another unit before I could finish the book. I liked it so much that I had to order a copy. Jablokov was an author I hadn't read before, but there were almost no other science fiction novels there. The mid-24th century was a good choice of setting, and the characters were believable, but starting the novel, one literally has no idea how things are going to work out; many other SF authors - including my favorites - tend to stereotype themselves, and their stories become predictable. Ozaki as a brilliant, tragic figure was marvellous.

Eleven days locked up eating the swill El Paso County, CO calls "food" was a rather high price to pay, but I'm glad I discovered this book. I would have wanted a copy in my SF collection at home even if I had been able to finish it the first time through.
A fantastically good story and on top of our want to read over and over again list. Would love an ebook format release and a multi-character audio book sometime. Very interesting future with a few unique very human characters. Highly recommended.
This is a gem of a book which I found by pure coinsidence in a small libraby. It is one of those futuristic novels which reawakens ones primal passion for the SF genre. It is a very sophisticated novel with the most lovable heroes. The plot equals the masters of the genre and a language like an aribian tresure. Zelazny said of this book, that it is everything a good science fiction novel should be - memorable characters, a well-realized future milieu, clever plotting, appropriate pacing. And he loved every minute of it. What more can be said?
It has been a long while since I have read a truly amazing book, and now that time has ended. I found this book hiding away on the shelves in our guest bedroom, while I was aimlesly wandering my house. I was just grazing through the many books that were on the shelf, and happened to pick this out, thinking it may be a pretty good book. It turned out to be one of the best I've ever read, and ever will read. I've read many good books, and this is one of them, and always will be. I was securely hooked by it, and couldn't stop reading. I just wish, after finishing it, that there was more. That the book would go on, so that I could read more of the outstanding work. This book will greatly entertain a vast variety of readers, from people looking for romance, to science fiction fanatics, to spy and espionage lovers, to just regular people looking for a good book to read. And when finished, it will leave you with a longing in the pit of your stomach, wanting more, forced to look for another book of the same dream-like greatness. This honestly is one of the best you'll ever read, one you'll never forget, and will forever more remain one of my favorites.
It took me a LONG time to decide on that most ellusive of decisions My favourite book. This book isn't that book. But it took only about half a chapter OF this book for it to become my second favourite book. Of all time.

When i suggest Mr. Jablokov's work, i say "You might enjoy them out of order... if you think you really will read all his novels, you might want to save the best for last. And that (so far) is his first novel Carve the Sky."

Warning before taking my word on that read this IF you aren't captivated by his other (also excellent) novels, go to Carve the Sky.
Please.
I think any intelligent and intellectually inquisitive life-form should read this. So don't let the other works deflect you from absorbing this exquisite work. I beg you.

I think i've loaned all three of my copies out and they've never come home... i think i'll have to buy another.

No spoilers here. If you find works of art the least bit fascinating, there is an entire "bonus layer" to this work. It works on many levels, but this man describes fictional works of art - that i am not sure any artist could ever match for quality.

I've gushed enough.

{{I expect a few may ask my first favourite. Also an SF work, the second (at least in the original release order) in the Ender's Game Trilobyte/series/obsession. "Speaker for the Dead" by Orson Scott Card.}}
Take a scavenger hunt for objects of antiquity, shadowy characters who are determined to get long lost items, and a loyal worker who is assigned to unravel their relationships. It makes a good mystery and one that surprised me in the end.
