What's your life worth on the open market?
In this sexy, gritty future-noir, debt collectors take your life energy and give it to someone more "worthy"... all while paying the price with black marks on their souls.

Lirium plays the part of the grim reaper well, with his dark trenchcoat and jackboots—he's just in it for his cut, ten percent of the life energy he collects before he transfers it on to the high potentials, people who will make the world a better place with their work and their lives. That hit of life energy, a bottle of vodka, and a visit from one of Madam Anastazja's girls keep him alive, stable, and mostly sane... until he collects again. But when his recovery ritual is disrupted, he has to choose between doing an illegal hit for a girl whose story has more holes than his soul or facing the bottle alone—a dark pit he's not sure he'll be able to climb out of again.

"Absolutely riveting!"
"Quinn has a way of writing heart-breaking characters."
"You'll be holding your breath, looking over your shoulder, and begging for more."

Originally written as a serial, LIRIUM is Season One of the Debt Collector series and contains the complete story of Lirium. Each season is told from the perspective of a different debt collector.

5,0 su 5 stelle About Transcendence...
Recensito in Canada il 30 dicembre 2016

Eureka! I have been wondering, for a while, about the common threadys that weave through most of Susan Kaye Quinn's sci-fi novels. I may have found one: Transcendence. Throughout many of her stories, her main actors strive to grow beyond their expected scopes and limitations. This is precisely the case in this story where a man with special skills is relentlessly used as a tool by various organizations until, in a moment of lucidity, he realizes that he had a choice - a choice that most of us have at all times: Follow the expected path, or brake ranks and follow his convictions.

I particularity enjoy this story that corals a surprisingly high emotional content that resonated with me. Susan Kaye Quinn, thank you for sharing.

4,0 su 5 stelle Une excellente découverte !!!
Recensito in Francia il 2 febbraio 2017

Je dois l'admettre, je n'aurai jamais lu ce livre de moi-même. Je n'en avais jamais entendu parler et n'avais aucune raison de le lire. Mais dans le cadre du challenge ABC il me fallait un auteur pour l'associer à la lettre Q et Gilwen m'a conseillé ce titre.
Je l'ai donc choisi, acheté (et pour ce prix là c'est une affaire), lu et adoré ! Pour tout vous dire, j'ai même acheté la saison 2 complète et j'attends à présent que l'autrice sorte les trois saisons restantes (même si j'ai quelques craintes quand je vois les dates de parution... bref).

Comme c'est en anglais, je me permet de faire une digression pour vous parler de l'univers et de l'histoire.

On est dans un univers d'urban-fantasy pur et dur à la manière du roman La Folie des Anges. L'univers pourrait tout à fait être le nôtre, à notre époque. Mais il y a une touche de fantastique, de surnaturel, très bien intégrée d'ailleurs.
Lorsque nos dettes sont trop importantes, que l'on ne peut plus payer et que l'on n'a plus d'avenir (c'est à dire des malades avancés ou des personnages âgées) un collecteur vient et votre dette sera effacée en échange de vos derniers instants de vie. Ces instants de vie sont alors "donnés" à l'acheteur qui est considéré comme un potentiel (des chercheurs qui font de grandes avancées en médecine par exemple).
C'est encadré et par exemple les politiques ne sont pas sensé en profiter pour ne pas avoir de problèmes. De même les collecteurs ne peuvent pas faire ce qu'ils veulent. Ils sont surveillés par plusieurs personnes et un artefact permet à leur "contrôleur" de s'assurer qu'ils ne "fauchent" pas de manière illégale.
Mais bien sur, comme à chaque fois, il y en a qui détournent le système. Les plus voyants sont les membres des mafias qui utilisent la violence et la menace pour détourner les collecteurs (même si ce n'est pas toujours utile) et utilisent leurs dons pour leurs profits.

Dans cette première saison nous suivons Lirium. Le collecteur type. Il faut son travail de manière professionnel, tente de rester humain, ne fait pas de zèle... bref nonobstant son "pouvoir" c'est M. Toutlemonde. Pourtant, un jour, son univers entier va basculer. Il va découvrir que des enfants sont volontairement sacrifiés pour des gens riches et puissants. Piégé, à la fois par les circonstances et son coeur, Lirium va se lancer dans une mission dangereuse et potentiellement létale pour lui et son âme. Il veut aider ces enfants, aider cette femme qui l'attire, l'obnubile et peut l'aider à mieux maîtriser ses dons, faire tomber les pourris et réussir à retrouver un semblant de vie.

J'ai vraiment adoré cet univers qui a un petit côté futuriste mais tout en étant incroyablement réel et actuel. L'auteur a réussit à introduire un élément fantastique et à construire un univers riche et cohérent autour. On y croit sans peine !!
Les personnages ne sont pas du tout manichéens, bien au contraire. Et je ne parle pas juste du classique affrontement gentils/méchants. Tous les personnages sont complexes, ont différentes facettes et différentes raisons de faire ce qu'ils font.
L'intrigue aussi m'a plu même si j'ai parfois eu quelques coup de mou dans la narration dû au découpage en épisodes.

En bref j'ai adoré découvrir cet univers et cette histoire. Je lirai la suite avec un immense plaisir et je ne peux que vous recommander de les découvrir à votre tour !

Welcome to the future, where your life is measured by your potential. When your debt is greater than your potential, a Debt Collector comes for you. But don't worry... Your remaining life will go to good use, transferred to scientists and CEOs who will use the extra years to further their work.

Born with the mutation to his DNA and gives him the ability to give and take life, Lirium finds himself in a despair. Taking the life of the sick and transferring it to rich and famous people, he finds his soul eroding death by death. When he finds out that his mentor was taken by the mob, he risks everything to break her free.

The story of Lirium and the Debt Collector universe is really fun and interesting to read. It's obvious that the author put a lot of thought into how the people and politics of this world would react to Debt Collectors. Not everything in the book is perfect, and this may not be the Happily Ever After that readers want, but it's a really good and unique story, and is very well written. The characters feel alive and you can really understand their motives and emotions... And the best part is that the author is planning to continue writing about other Debt Collectors!

4,0 su 5 stelle A good read, not as much noir as I thought it would be
Recensito negli Stati Uniti il 3 ottobre 2016
Acquisto verificato
So I got this book through a promotional with a SCI-FI book club I subscribe to and figured it looked like a decent read so I gave it a shot. I haven't been disappointed so far. The initial serials were pretty swift with the story line and the way the action moves. There are points in the book where the characters do feel a little flimsy, or not completely well rounded. I find the environments in the books to be lacking in details, but you are mostly concerned with what's happening to the characters to really care about their surroundings. There seems to be some overt sexual tension between the main character and most of the female, (and one male) characters so far. For two of the characters it could've made sense and worked with their personalities, but for Ophelia, the relationship the two share is really weird and never made sense to me.

::Possible spoilers

Ophelia seems to like Lirium right at their first meeting. She portrays this sexy, knowledgeable, mentor who can open young Liriums eyes to debt collecting, as well as other things. That was fine, but then there just exists this sudden deeper relationship between the two as their "adventures" transpire that makes me wonder how the hell it go there so fast. It just never felt genuine, and because of the speed of it, it makes me feel like Lirium is a teenage boy with a crush on his first hot teacher.

::End possible spoiler

Those complaints aside, you shouldn't bypass this book. I really, really, enjoy the concept of the life transfers and the concept of the currency in this world. I would love to see this expanded further beyond Lirium to other lives, collectors, mobs, or gangs, and or political corruption. As I said I'm not entirely finished with these books yet, but I've only got a few chapters to go. From what I've read so far it is a fun ride. There are plenty of moments where you are worried about the characters, and since you don't have prior knowledge of this world you are learning about a lot of the events that are unfolding just like Lirium, in real time. This makes it feel more natural and leads to some good surprises for the reader.
