Durante un esperimento di calcolo quantistico Ponter Boddit, uno scienziato Neandertal, supera accidentalmente le barriere che separano il suo mondo da quello della specie umana e si ritrova in un universo parallelo, che gli appare carico di contraddizioni e di ambiguità. Messo in isolamento, l'alieno diviene un oggetto di studio per un gruppo di ricercatori ed esperti, e un'attrazione irresistibile per i media e per i politici delle varie nazioni, che ne reclamano l'ideale proprietà. Nello stesso tempo, nella dimensione dei Neandertal, il compagno di Ponter, Adikor Huld, viene accusato del suo omicidio. Riuscirà a provare la propria innocenza, pur non potendo neppure immaginare quanto gli è accaduto?

Scrittore tra i più controversi e discussi, Spinrad è indubbiamente un personaggio di spicco della fantascienza moderna. Autore di opere altamente originali e dissacranti come e , Spinrad ci presenta qui una storia enigmatica ambientata all’inizio del prossimo secolo: enigmatica perché, quando avrete finito di leggerla, dovrete decidere se la gente del 2020 vedrà davvero il nostro tempo come un’epoca d’oro o no. E anche allora probabilmente non saprete mai come la pensi realmente Spinrad al riguardo. Comunque, è un racconto che fa riflettere.
After World War II, the former allies were saddled with a devastated world economy and traumatized populace. Soviet influence spread insidiously from nation to nation, and the Atlantic powers—the Americans, the British, and a small band of allies—were caught flat-footed by the coups, collapsing armies, and civil wars that sprung from all sides. The Cold War had begun in earnest.
In , prize-winning historian Norman Stone assesses the years between World War II and the collapse of the Iron Curtain. He vividly demonstrates that for every Atlantic success there seemed to be a dozen Communist or Third World triumphs. Then, suddenly and against all odds, the Atlantic won—economically, ideologically, and militarily—with astonishing speed and finality.
An elegant and path-breaking history, is a monument to the immense suffering and conflict of the twentieth century, and an illuminating exploration of how the Atlantic triumphed over its enemies at last.
"The best spy novel I've ever read that wasn't written by John Le Carré." – Stephen King
Now faced with the end of his quiet, settled life, reluctant spy Milo Weaver has no choice but to turn back to his old job as a 'tourist.' Before he can get back to the CIA's dirty work, he has to prove his loyalty to his new bosses, who know little of Milo 's background and less about who is really pulling the strings in the government above the Department of Tourism – or in the outside world, which is beginning to believe the legend of its existence. Milo is suddenly in a dangerous position, between right and wrong, between powerful self-interested men, between patriots and traitors – especially as a man who has nothing left to lose.
Superb new CIA thriller featuring black ops expert Milo Weaver and acclaimed by Lee Child as 'first class – the kind of thing John le Carre might have written' In the global age of the CIA, wherever there's trouble, there's a Tourist: the men and women who do the dirty work. They're the Company's best agents – and Milo Weaver was the best of them all. Following a near-lethal encounter with foreign hitman the 'Tiger', a burnt-out Milo decides to continue his work from behind a desk. Four years later, he's no closer to finding the Tiger than he was before. When the elusive assassin unexpectedly gives himself up to Milo, it's because he wants something in return: revenge. Once a Tourist, always a Tourist – soon Milo is back in the field, tracking down the Tiger's handler in a world of betrayal, skewed politics and extreme violence. It's a world he knows well but he's about to learn the toughest lesson of all: trust no one.
Three unconnected crimes are about to be linked in the most chilling way imaginable. The abduction of a teenage girl, heading towards a bus stop. A woman shot, point-blank during a brutal robbery. A young man tortured, his body found wrapped in barbed wire.
With nothing to indicate that the three are connected, NYPD detective Tom Harper and psychologist Denise Levene must look beyond the surface to find a killer's true motivation. And they believe that they have found a murderer conditioned to hate and willing to go to any lengths to make his victims suffer.
The killer has nothing to lose. Harper and Levene have one chance to catch him. Sometimes hate is just the beginning…
Bongwutsi: un país africano ·que ni siquiera figura en el mapa·. Allí vive un argentino usurpando la condición de cónsul de su país, hundido en la pobreza y enardecido de entusiasmo por el reciente estallido de la guerra de las Malvinas, en disputa permanente con el embajador inglés, inexplicablemente entrampado en una trama donde se suceden conspiraciones con enviados de las grandes potencias mundiales, una interrumpida relación amorosa, los sueños de liberación y grandeza del inhallable- y ubicuo- Bongwutsi, la entrada triunfal al país de un ejército de monos…el vértigo narrativo no se interrumpe, la invención y la verdad se alían en el desborde de una fantasía indeclinable. El ímpetu narrativo de Osvaldo Soriano llega a su punto máximo en este relato fascinante.
