Powieść Jana Maszczyszyna, który na potrzeby swojej retrofikcyjnej science fiction stworzył nową kosmogonię, w której różne planetarne rzeczywistości się przenikają, a magia miesza się z technologią rodem ze steampunku.
Dzieje ratunkowej wyprawy do świata, od którego oddziela nas warstwa oceanu. Świata zamieszkałego przez dziwne stwory, które planują inwazję na nasz świat.
Broil by Jan Maszczyszyn is fantasy, as usual with this author, astonishing. The writer takes us on a journey through the world of an alternate earth that consists of five overlapping dimensions. When the Broils, otherwise evolved dinosaurs in one of the dimensions, emerge from one of them, the fate of the planet is threatened. Mashczyszyn surprisingly combines Aboriginal mythology and their concept of mystical wandering with steampunk. He makes perverse references to the works of Jules Verne and George Herbert Wells. This is not the end of the literary tropes. The protagonist, Laura, is a creature of a strange nature, gifted with the power to migrate between dimensions. When she disappears in a mirror, a bizarre journey and search for her begins that will turn the nature of reality and the laws of physics upside down. To combine Petrarch's poetry with Alice in Wonderland is a real challenge! Mashchyshyn meets it masterfully.
Maszczyszyn's writing requires a seasoned reader who is able to question the basic elements of their knowledge regarding the nature and physics of the world. Mashchyshyn writes high fantasy, combining steampunk, weird science fiction, and bizarre punk. A mix that makes your head spin!
