Line of Delirium	comment	Line of Delirium (Линия грёз, Liniya gryoz; can be also translated as Line of Reveries or Line of Dreams, which are more appropriate titles) is a Space Opera trilogy written by the popular Russian science fiction author Sergey Lukyanenko. The setting of the trilogy was influenced by Master of Orion, although the only things that can be tied back to the game are the names of the alien races and several planets. The novels describe the 25th century, where humanity is living in a Crapsack Universe still recovering from a devastating interstellar war and dealing with a radical new technology called aTan (anti-Thanatos) that allows a person to be recreated in case of death, essentially granting immortality to anyone willing and able to pay for it.The trilogy consists of two novels (Line of Delirium and Emperors of Illusions) and a novella (Shadows of Dreams) set before the events of the novels. The protagonist of both novels is a professional bodyguard named Kay Dutch (AKA Kay Altos, AKA Kay Ovald), whose life radically changes when he is hired by the founder and owner of aTan, the second most powerful man in the galaxy, to escort his teenage son and heir Arthur on a secret mission to a faraway colony. Not only is the entire Empire on their tail but also several alien races very interested in the boy and his mission.In Emperors of Illusions, Kay finds out that their entire universe is nothing more than an illusion created for the benefit of one man, Emperor Gray. Or at least Kay thinks it's Emperor Gray he was wrong, it's not Emperor Gray but Gray will get his own universe in the end. Rejecting the idea of another man controlling his fate, Kay resolves to do the impossible. He must kill an immortal.Shadows of Dreams describes a small human colony hosting an interstellar regatta when a powerful alien warship enters the system, whose crew still believes they are at war with humans. With no help coming, the colonists have no choice but to prepare for a hopeless battle with an enemy they cannot beat.A fan translation of the first novel can be found here. The second novel's translation is here. The novella's fan translation can be found at this link.

Line of Delirium / int_175163cb	comment	Transferable Memory: aTan has vast databanks collecting clients' memories in real-time. When the signal stops, this indicates death. If the person has paid off his or her aTan, a new body is created from a previously-scanned template, and the memories are downloaded into the brain up until the moment of death. If the resurrection has not been paid in advance, then the person's memories and the body template are purged from the database (i.e. Killed Off for Real). It is possible, although illegal, for the aTan operators to record and watch the memories of the resurrected. This becomes a plot point in the first novel.

Kay is in his 30s, although his physical body is younger thanks to aTan (there is still an almost 10-year difference between them). As Kay is leaving her room via window, he meets the girl's father having a smoke, who merely makes sure Kay hasn't hurt himself jumping from the window and asks that he take off in his flyer quietly. Kay is actually more attracted to (on an emotional and intellectual level) to an old lady living nearby. The Emperor prefers the company of girls in their early teens. The parents usually consider it a privilege. In the second novel, Kay uses this to get The Mole near the Emperor. The girl's mother, being old-fashioned, doesn't approve but can't refuse the Emperor.

Line of Delirium / int_263bb4ec	comment	Wave-Motion Gun: Kay's ship in the second book is armed with a black hole generator, one of the most devastating ship-to-ship weapons in the galaxy. Highly illegal, they cannot be simply mounted on just any ship and have to have ships built around them. That's only done for a single operation, after which they are destroyed. The one Kay has purchased was sold to him by someone, who wanted to make a quick buck instead of scrapping the ship. Still, Kay has to be careful, when approaching Imperial planets, as any ship carrying a black hole generator is vaporized without warning due to the danger to the planet. Anarchy worlds are the only ones that don't care. The weapon collapses the gravity at a single point within the target until a singularity is formed, tearing the target apart from the inside. It's entirely unaffected by shields or armor but has a very short range.

The very wealthy ones, though can sometimes get a little cavalier with their lives. The protagonist is a professional bodyguard who's used to putting himself between a gun and his employer. He has already died half-a-dozen times and is able to afford aTan because he comes highly recommended and tends to protect the very rich. However, even then, Curtis van Curtis tells him that, at the rate he's going, he won't be able to sustain his immortality for more then several years.

A number of humans have also embraced this philosophy and view the Meklar as ideal lifeforms, enhancing their bodies in similar ways. One of the antagonists, Marjan Mohammadi, is a professional bodyguard who has chosen to "enhance" herself in such a manner. This, of course, makes them incapable of using aTan, which only works on organic matter. One of the Meklar does mention the disadvantage of utilizing only built-in weaponry instead of handheld weapons: it's much easier to design a better handheld weapon and give it to someone than try to upgrade a weapon built into your own body.

Line of Delirium / int_4536fd29	comment	Energy Weapon: Many weapons described and mentioned in the novels are of this type: After being resurrected on Incedios, Kay and Arthur go to aTan's weapon shop. Instead of his usual Bumblebee plasma blaster (which is restricted to military and bodyguards), he is forced to go with a civilian Convoy laser pistol. Officially, the Convoy is a less-than-lethal weapon that only leaves mild burns on the target. Unofficially, the weapon has a full-auto mode and a decent charge, meaning a series of laser pulses on full-auto can cut through a human body in 2 seconds. Other handheld laser weapons include Career (an obsolete Vague War pistol), Style (an old-but-reliable civilian pistol), Old Bob (a civilian rifle), Blitz-D (a high-powered army rifle), Chance (a six-barreled spinning heavy laser designed to take out whole army units, commonly known as "forest cutter").

Line of Delirium / int_525df529	comment	Not Using the "Z" Word: At some point in the Empire's history, all religions were merged into one, the Church of the Unified Will, which became the official church of the Empire. No one uses the term "God" anymore. Instead, "Will" is the preferred address. There are still local flavors of the one religion, differing from planet to planet. The Patriarch is usually fine with that, as long as these varieties don't violate the core tenets of the Church. Also, the Church doesn't have as much power as the previous religions did, in part because the merging of religions pushed more people away than it attracted. At the same time, the novella reveals that some of the old religions are still allowed, especially on remote frontier colonies. The events of the novella take place on a colony that follows the Eastern Orthodox Church.

The Patriarch always wears black hooded robes that cover his entire body, and electronic equipment jams any nearby scanners. His vocal cords have been surgically altered to sound gender-neutral. Given the existence of aTan (and the Church's support the technology), it's entirely possible that the Church had the same Patriarch for centuries. Officially, the Patriarch has authority similar to that of the Emperor (but spiritual instead of political). Unofficially, the Church has never tried to impose its will on the Emperor.

In the second novel, it's mentioned that small Grasshopper-class ships are mass-produced on Endoria and can be purchased fairly cheaply. Effectively, they are a tiny glass cabin on top of a hyperdrive disc and two plasma engines. No Artificial Gravity, weapons, or defenses. While mainly sold as in-system craft, they have enough fuel for a single hyperjump. In fact, many companies use these as the equivalent of a company car.

With this technique, a twelve-year-old can easily break an adult man's fingers, for example. The Jen self-control technique allows a person to instantly and painlessly stop his or her heart in the manner of ancient fakirs but much faster. This is mainly used by aTan practitioners in order to evade capture and torture. However, the brain remains viable for several minutes after this, meaning that a prepared enemy can hook up the person to life-support machinery and keep him or her alive indefinitely (aTan is triggered by brain death).

According to Kay, the Emperor ignores these worlds, for now. Once they become too much of a nuisance, the Imperial fleet will crush their resistance, take them over, go through the population with a fine-tooth comb to weed out the undesirables, and impose a legal government.

The Patriarch points out that there has never actually been any coffee ceremonies in the past before inviting the Emperor to visit him for a tea ceremony and pointing out that these did exist.

During the meeting, Kay asks Ezsanti to be awake during the procedure in order to learn what the Darloks really look like. Ezsanti agrees but only after Kay promises not to resist. During the procedure, Kay attacks the guards and Ezsanti. Just before killing him, Kay tells the Darlok to consider him a liar.

Line of Delirium / int_c987803b	comment	Ursine Aliens: The Bulrathi are more-or-less directly lifted from the Master of Orion series. Lukyanenko did expand on their culture, considering the version he used from the first Master of Orion, which didn't provide much background. In the books, the Bulrathi are a Proud Warrior Race culture, who value hand-to-hand (or paw, if you want to be technical) combat over standard warfare. They also have falsetto voices, making them good tenors (when they're not ripping your head off). In fact, their obsession with direct combat leads to them developing a method to defeat the Silicoids' natural Deflector Shields (most races just shoot at them) using their high-pitched voices in a manner similar to how a singer can shatter a crystal glass with her voice. They are also stated to be scavengers, preferring to eat something that has been dead for days. In terms of clothing, they generally wear skirts (sometimes metal skirts), since their tough hides can handle almost anything an unarmed human can do to them. A human gift shop on their homeworld has a display of "authentic" Bulrathi armor, except the experienced protagonist immediately assumes it's fake, since it covers far too much body for the Honor Before Reason Bulrathi.

Since the crew isn't aware that the war is long over and that the rest of their race have isolated their area of space and refuse to interact with outsiders, they intend to complete their original mission: to capture the military outpost that used to be where the colony is now. The colony has almost no means of defending itself, especially from the most advanced race in the galaxy. Later on, though, the protagonist realizes that the crew must be aware of how much time has passed and that their orders no longer make sense. And yet they fully intend to continue, possibly as a sort-of last hurrah (plus, the fact that there's a human colony there likely means that their side didn't win).
