Читать книгу Into the No-Zone - Eugene Lambert - Страница 6
ОглавлениеIf it’s been a while since you read The Sign of One (volume one in this trilogy), here’s a brief reminder of some of the main characters, terms and locations.
| Colm | Kyle’s twin brother. Was raised as a Slayer. |
| Dump world | A world where humans exile criminals, refugees, etc. |
| Gemini | The ident resistance. |
| Ident | Identical twin. Considered evil on Wrath, because only one is pureblood and the other is a ‘twist’. |
| Ident camp | Idents are held in secure camps until old enough to be tested. |
| Kyle | Teenage loner who grew up out in the Barrenlands. The narrator of this story. |
| Nublood | What ident ‘twists’ prefer to call themselves, as in nu-species. |
| Peace Fair | Annual ceremony, held near ident camps, where ‘idents’ are brutally tested and ‘twists’ winnowed from ‘scabs’. |
| Pureblood | Someone who’s 100 per cent human. |
| Reapers | Feral savages. Rumour has it they are cannibals. |
| Saviour | Despotic warlord who rules over Wrath. Father of Kyle and Colm. |
| Scab | Wrath slang for the pureblood twin, because after the Peace Fair they are branded to show they are no longer evil. |
| Sky | Gemini rebel, ident camp survivor and daring windjammer pilot. Kyle’s friend and ally – sometimes. |
| Slayers | The Saviour’s private army. |
| Twist | Wrath slang for a nublood twin, so-called because they are said to have ‘twisted blood’. Faster, stronger and much quicker to heal than pureblood humans. |
| Windjammers | Crudely built ridge-running flying machines. |
| Wrath | The dump world where this story is set. |
