Reseña del libro "Cortez on Jupiter (en Inglés)"
"Hard SF, satire, adventure, and some very strange humor combine in this intriguing, inventive, and sometimes disconcerting SF story." -Science Fiction Chronicle A wild young Chicano artist who covers Greater Los Angeles with fantastic graffiti. A beautiful African telepath who opens the door to communications with the deadly Sirens of Jupiter. "An alien first contact story featuring a hyperactive, irreverent, and self-absorbed Chicano artist from East LA. Cortez is recruited to make contact with creatures discovered on Jupiter who "speak" in projected images. It's a dangerous assignment; previous attempts to communicate have ended in insanity and death, but Pablo is always up for a little bit of craziness." - Michael Lichter, Amazon "It grabs you and won't let you go. The best [first novel] I've read in science fiction since Neuromancer." - Tom Witmore, Locus Not since Ayn Rand's Howard Roarke has there been an artist as iconoclastic, as idealistic, and as splendidly spectacular as Pablo Cortez. And look out, he's twice as radical! Energetic, fast-paced, funny, and thoroughly enjoyable." -Analog Combining hard science fiction with pyrotechnics worthy of "The Stars, My Destination," Ernest Hogan tells the story of the painter who founds the Guerrilla Muralists Of Los Angeles, goes on to make Mankind's first contact with the sentient life-forms of Jupiter. "If Hunter S Thompson and Alfred Bester had a Chicano child, it would be this." Dave Hutchinson It's a roller-coaster ride from vulgarity to the transcendent, as the unforgettable Pablo Cortez struggles, selfishly and selflessly, to expand humanity's consciousness on a journey from the barrio to the stars. "Ernest Hogan is the creator of a Xicano science fiction genre with a crossover readership. ...raw creativity." - Frank S Lechuga *** "All cultures have some acceptable form of human sacrifice. And if you really want to cause trouble, try taking it away." -Pablo Cortez
