Reseña del libro "Monopoly on Violence (en Inglés)"
In the high-octane sequel to Overkillerz, the crew of the Opterus finds that escaping a galactic battle was the easy part. Survival on the ground is another matter entirely.A World DividedStranded light-years from home, Trevor Takeda-Fafnir and Princess Ollah M’falme seek refuge on Planet Athor, a lush, vibrant world Trevor quickly labels an "Amazon death-world". But Athor is a society defined by a massive, cold stone wall known as **the Divide**, which separates the opulent, golden spires of Nordstrom from the bombed-out ruins of the Locha internment zones.A Social RevolutionOn Athor, the rules of power are flipped. This is a strict matriarchy where:Femmes (women) serve as the warriors, politicians, and "Peace Wardens" who rule with absolute authority.Mafemmes (men) must wear veils in public, avoid "mouthing off," and focus on household poise.When a cultural misunderstanding leads to a chaotic street brawl, Trevor and Ollah are violently separated by the Divide’s closing gates.Two Paths, One GoalWhisked away to the affluent side of the wall, Trevor must navigate the dangerous diplomatic games of Princess Luxia, a Bravan knight-princess who views him as a "fetching" curiosity. Meanwhile, Ollah is forced to find sanctuary in the slums among the Rude Girls, a fierce street gang led by the scarred and cynical Slasher Onara.As Trevor uses his "smart-machines" to navigate a world of political intrigue and hidden agendas, Ollah uncovers the stirrings of a terrifying new revolution. With the sentient, organic Opterus in hibernation and their advanced technology failing, the two must rely on their wits and unlikely local allies to prevent the planet from descending into total war.Monopoly on Violence is a socially conscious space opera that explores identity, the cost of systemic oppression, and what it truly means to be "strong" in a universe that is constantly trying to change you.
