Загулявший менеджер среднего звена попадает на темную сторону мистического Петербурга. Литературная шутка о силе неразделенной любви, феминизме, вампирах и людоедах от автора «Красных Цепей»

Questo romanzo di uno dei «padri» della fantascienza, Fritz Leiber, assume oggi una modernità sconcertante, perché ha saputo esprimere nel modo più netto i dubbi e le perplessità dell’uomo contemporaneo di fronte a delle realtà che paiono inspiegabili. La scienza «ufficiale» riesce a giustificare compiutamente tutti i fatti che vediamo accadere intorno a noi? Forse molte risposte dovrebbero essere cercate in una conoscenza più antica e dimenticata, che poneva come chiave di volta dell’universo i poteri indefiniti della mente umana. Metà della razza umana, si chiede Fritz Leiber, pratica ancora, attivamente, le arti arcane? Forse tutte le donne sono streghe? Un uomo, un uomo moderno, che è uno studioso, è costretto a convincersi di sì: la sua stessa moglie ne è la prova. E non basta. Altre tre donne, mogli di suoi colleghi, fanno uso delle conoscenze scientifiche dei mariti, dando alla magia un impulso moderno, per assicurarsi successo e vantaggi materiali. Contendono l’una con l’altra. Esperimentano la loro forza. Si distruggono a vicenda invocando antiche forze del male. E quando egli costringe la moglie ad astenersi da tali pratiche, la rende inerme di fronte alle male arti delle altre

Questo affascinante racconto scritto da uno dei migliori e piú noti autori di fantascienza si svolge tutto sulla Luna, in un’epoca — tra due secoli — nella quale i viaggi spaziali avranno superato il primo stadio, e già l’uomo avrà fondato le sue colonie sui pianeti del Sistema Solare. Come ora fra le nazioni della Terra, cosí domani fra la Terra e la Federazione dei pianeti si verranno inevitabilmente a creare situazioni passibili di sfociare in un conflitto armato. Ombre sulla Luna ci narra appunto come e perché la guerra ebbe luogo, quali ne furono le cause, e quali conseguenze ebbe... o meglio, avrà. E la descrizione è talmente vivida, accurata, poggiata su solide basi scientifiche, da dare l’ìmpressione di leggere una cronaca vera, di eventi veri, di uomini veri. E la Luna ci appare accessibile e familiare nella sua realtà. Arthur Clarke, l’indimenticabile autore di Sabbie di Marte, è tornato!

Omega: an apocalyptic rumour from the Eastern Front. Omega: something that will alter all the strategic calculations of the Earth’s great military blocs. Omega: the code name for a weapon that may well bring doomsday with it. But if Omega is indeed the agent that will destroy the world, that world is not our own. For this is a timeline in which World War Two never truly ended: a timeline in which Hitler died in a plane crash, Britain joined Germany in its battle against Communist Russia, and the present is an age of intermittent, but deadly, armed conflict between the USSR, the European Alliance, and the USA. The frontier regions are radioactive wastelands, nuclear winter threatens catastrophe, global confrontation could erupt again any time—and that’s before Omega is taken into account… This is the reality experienced by Owen Meredith when an accident forces his consciousness from the England we know into the mind of his cognate self in that other darker, Europe. Switching back and forth between being plain Owen Meredith and troubled Major Owain Maredudd, Owen is faced not only with a Cold War going Hot, but with a deep crisis of identity. Who is he? Whose twisted destiny is he treading? Did the ordinary domestic life he remembers ever even take place? Perhaps the universe of Owain and Omega is merely a symptom of mental illness—but if so, why is it so urgently tangible? Omega is the first adult novel by Christopher Evans in a decade, and perhaps his best so far. This is alternate history of a brilliantly unusual kind

Omega - a shadowy organization that is synonymous with power in the metahuman world. They have hunted Sienna Nealon since the day she first left her house, have killed countless Directorate agents and operatives, and now they unveil their greatest plot - Operation Stanchion, a mysterious phrase let slip by an Omega operative in the midst of a battle. Now Sienna must track the pieces Omega has in motion to confront her enemy before they can land their final stroke - and bring an end to the Directorate forever

In 1980, Omega was "recent future" science fiction, and, although the setting is now, the premise still holds. Scientists have learned to tap the power of the earth's electro-magnetic field-put 150 kilowatts of power into two electrodes on opposite sides of the globe and get 4015 megawatts. They think the world's energy problems are over! Well, not quite… The conflict is between the forces of technology and greed and the gentle men and women who have respect for the land, are in touch with nature, and practice the "craft of the wise"-witchcraft. Omega is a book with a lesson: there is no time like the present to start healing the great mother. And this is the kind of book that can win people to the cause of so doing

Having mastered the big, sprawling adventure stories called space opera in books like Chindi, McDevitt extends the form in this feel-good SF novel that earns its hopeful conclusion. Priscilla «Hutch» Hutchens, heroine of several of McDevitt's previous novels, has had a full career as a space pilot and is now administrator of the government agency in charge of space research. Like most people, she's only mildly concerned with the long-range threat of the omega clouds, masses of energy floating through the universe that detect and pulverize artificial structures (and the intelligent creatures that live in them). After all, the cloud headed for Earth is 900 years away. This situation changes when a charmingly innocent young alien race is discovered just a few months before a cloud will obliterate it. Hutch has to juggle resources to save the cute creatures, at the same concealing the human intervention in order not to disrupt the alien civilization's development. The cloud's implacable threat keeps the action tightly focused, though the story shifts viewpoint frequently to show crowds of people committing themselves to different aspects of the mission. Part of the rescue effort involves spaceships and gadgets, but the most serious part depends on human intelligence and passion. McDevitt is very good at imagining strange challenges-and at picturing humans coping when things don't work out as planned. His characters succeed in imposing their compassion on the void

A bond forged in blood. Fealty given to the one he desires above all others. Graced with the ability to shift into any form, Diskant Black is the absolute authority when it comes to New York shifters, and as the Omega of the city, his word is law. Protecting the shifter races is more than a job, it's a predisposition ingrained since birth-nothing is more important. Until a chance encounter with a tiny female sets fire to his blood, brings him to his knees and turns his world upside down. Ava Brisbane is more than he bargained for in a mate-beautiful, fragile...human. If he wants to keep her by his side, he'll have to sacrifice a portion of his soul to establish a bond that can never be broken. Unfortunately, the timing couldn't be worse. Shepherds-hunters of all the shifter races-have arrived in New York. To protect the woman he can't live without, Diskant will have to stand against those who have come to start a war

With a new pack and her true mate, she thinks the nightmare is behind her, but when she is abducted on the streets of Chinatown, Katrina must face her past and fight for her freedom. It took Tyler a year to earn Katrina's love, another to build her confidence and pride, and only a moment to lose her. Broken-hearted, Tyler won't give up his search for Katrina.

Greeted as a masterpiece when it was first published in 1966, Omensetter's Luck is the quirky, impressionistic, and breathtakingly original story of an ordinary community galvanized by the presence of an extraordinary man. Set in a small Ohio town in the 1890s, it chronicles — through the voices of various participants and observers — the confrontation between Brackett Omensetter, a man of preternatural goodness, and the Reverend Jethro Furber, a preacher crazed with a propensity for violent thoughts. Omensetter's Luck meticulously brings to life a specific time and place as it illuminates timeless questions about life, love, good, and evil

To translate writings, you need a key to the code—and if the last writer of Martian died forty thousand years before the first writer of Earth was born ... how could the Martian be translated...?

Слова, ..мелькающие в газетных заголовках; слова, звучащие прямо в метро:«В жизни нет места для чуда»; ...почему я верю, если ?.. Бог не помог... а ведь мы так молились... Кто Он ?... «злой демон?». Вопрос о Боге встает ребром. Кто это, Бог? Тот Бог, против которого восстал Прометей в трагедии у Эсхила, или то Небо, которому противосто­ял Сунь У-Кун в китайском фольклоре? Или Бог добр, но не всемогущ, как считает Дж. Дьюи? Лекция о религиозности современного человека для сотрудни­ков ВГБИЛ им. М.И.
