دانلود رمان انگلیسی “نگهبانان کیهان” – کتاب 3 (جنگ ویرانگری)

Rachel Blackburn loathed Ash Creek’s Southside. When she’d lived in town, she’d avoided the area. The Southside was the poorest section of Ash Creek, and it was an absolute fucking dump —abandoned buildings, cracked and crumbling sidewalks, pothole-filled streets, debris-choked alleys crawling with vermin … The air stank of vehicle exhaust, urine, shit, vomit, and rotting, diseased meat. The people here were of two physical types: lean and malnourished or fat and blotchyskinned, but regardless of their shape, their clothes were old, torn, and stained, their eyes glazed and bloodshot from alcohol or drugs. The place was a cliché of how middle- and upper-class people thought the poor lived and, to be fair, the entire Southside wasn’t this bad. But this part was an Overlay, a section of the real world that overlapped Shadow, an aspect of reality that existed on the edge of the Gyre, the great hungry mouth at the center of the Omniverse. Overlays became infused with Shadow’s entropic energy, transforming them into areas of decay and ruin. Rachel had been a candidate for membership in the Multitude once, the organization of godlike beings dedicated to increasing Entropy in all realities. But she’d never gotten used to how repellent certain aspects of Entropy could be, and she’d never become a full-fledged member of the Multitude. But that was okay. She was something else now—something better.
