ARCHANGEL COMPARED TO FURY ROAD
Wow. Just--wow.
Archangels and Furies: A Look at Marguerite Reed’s ARCHANGEL and MAD MAX: FURY ROAD
Marguerite Reed’s Archangel brings to mind Tiptree too, in much the same manner. Dropping only a few clues to the future in this, the first of her Chronicles of Ubastis, Archangel introduces xenobiologist Vashti Loren, who has been chosen to assist in the colonization of the Eden-like Ubastis, one of the remaining hopes for home of a space-faring humanity. Vashti loves Ubastis and its rich ecology and so acts to keep the planet in balance, understanding full well how her species destroyed earth and not wanting to see it lay waste to another world. Indeed, at times Vashti seems to show far more concern for Ubastis than for her fellow human beings, be they the genetically engineered Beasts or the visiting tourists from the rich galactic melting pot, though she also shows great love for her daughter Bibi and her dead husband, who, like Max’s child, haunts her thoughts.
Uh...did I say wow?
