The unthinkable becomes stark reality in this frightening novel by the bestselling master of medical suspense. Expects do not question whether a bioterrorism event will occur in the United States, only when... New York City cab driver Yuri Davydov is an angry, disillusioned Russian émigré bent on returning to his motherland after an unhappy seven-year sojourn in the United States. Before his departure, he wants to lash out at the adoptive nation that lured him with what he believes was the hoax of the American Dream, only to deny him contentment, opportunity, and personal prosperity. As a former technician for the vast Soviet biological weapons industry Biopreparat, Yuri possesses the technical knowledge to carry out his vengeance on a horrific scale, especially after teaming up with a pair of far-right survivalists who share his abhorrence of the United States government. The survivalists and their neofascist skinhead militia have no trouble stealing the raw materials Yuri needs. Working together they launch Operation Wolverine. Dr. Jack Stapleton and Dr. Laurie Montgomery (both last seen in Chromosome 6) are confronted with two seemingly disparate cases in their work as forensic pathologists in the city's medical examiner's office. Jack successfully diagnoses a rare case of anthrax, while Laurie examines the remains of a tortured skinhead. They hardly suspect that the cases could be related, but soon they begin to connect the dots, and the question then becomes whether or not they will solve the puzzle before Yuri and his comrades unleash the ultimate terror: a modern bioweapon. With his signature skill, Robin Cook has crafted a page-turning thriller rooted in up-to-the-minute biotechnology. Vector is all-too-plausible fiction at its eye-opening, terrifying best

Tick, tick, tock. Time. That’s all I have now. A small room, a photograph, and time. They want me to trust them and confess my sins. They told me they wouldn't judge me—they lied. I thought we could convince the world that this wasn't a crime. We were wrong. Time doesn't stand still. The clock keeps ticking, the world is unconvinced, and now… Now he is gone

Tracking down Veilers—non humans—is only a sideline for Tess Damon. Vengeance for her fiancé’s murder is her reason for living. But with two botched jobs on her record, if she fails to eliminate her next mark, she’s dead. She’s not afraid to die, but not before she gets even. Too bad fate has a really bad sense of humor. Hugh Langston, a wolfen half shifter, lives to keep both humans and his pack safe. But when rogue humans kidnap his apprentice, his rescue mission is compromised by a hot-as-hell, kick-ass woman who makes him think only one thing: mine. Tess tries to ignore her feelings, but temptation trips her up. Especially when Hugh figures out he’s her next target and forces her into an inconvenient alliance that tests all the laws against their attraction. Now, with the line between good and evil getting blurrier by the minute, it becomes clear Tess’s only hope of living to see another day—and finding a murderer—lies with the one man she’s supposed to kill. Warning: Contains one obscenely hot alpha and the woman who wants to love him before she kills him. Look out for a blind date, scorching sex, humor, lies, and untamable attraction

Voici la suite d’Éveil, qui racontait l’émergence d’une Intelligence Artificielle sur le réseau Internet. Caitlin, jeune aveugle de naissance, a recouvré la vision grâce à une prothèse informatique et joue un rôle essentiel dans cette émergence puis dans l’éducation de cette conscience non humaine, Webmind. L’accès progressif de Webmind à la totalité des ressources d’Internet lui confère des pouvoirs surhumains, presque divins. Qui ne manquent pas d’inquiéter le gouvernement américain. Peut-on laisser survivre une entité qui dispose de connaissances et de pouvoirs formidables alors qu’on ignore tout de ses intentions ? Caitlin, qui lui fait une confiance absolue, parviendra-t-elle à la sauver ? Éveil puis Veille renouvellent complètement le thème de l’Intelligence Artificielle. Humain contre machine. Humain et machine. Sommes-nous au bord de la Singularité prédite par Vernor Vinge, l’auteur de Rainbows End ? Ces romans témoignent aussi d’un sens de l’humain rare dans la science-fiction et propre à Robert J. Sawyer. Éveil a été retenu parmi les cinq derniers titres en lice pour le prix Hugo 2010

Una mujer que resuelve un día liberarse de las cadenas que la atan, es la base del profundo estudio psicológico que hizo Stefan Zweig en 24 horas en la vida de una mujer. El autor se interna en el tortuoso laberinto de las pasiones humanas frente a un mundo social que tiende a privilegiar las apariencias y que se muestra sumamente cruel con aquellos que osan trastornar el equilibrio moral de la sociedad. Curiosamente, el mismo autor da muestra inequívoca del efecto que los prejuicios sociales tienen sobre todos, ya que en el momento culminante de esta novela, cuando pudo haberse dirigido el tema hacia un final poco ortodoxo, el autor regresa sobre sus pasos y vierte una profunda carga moralina en la que la súbita aparición de lo bueno y lo malo se conforman en insoportables cadenas que cortan la respiración tanto de los personajes como del mismo lector. Finalmente la novela conlleva su propia moraleja terriblemente conservadora. La lectura de 24 horas en la vida de una mujer es recomendable puesto que en ella el lector podrá apreciar el efecto que el mundo de las apariencias tiene sobre todos por igual

Pod podlahou Obchodu se rozprostírá svět deset centimetrů vysokých nómů, svět skrytý očím velkých lidí. Jak všichni nómové dobře ví, Obchod byl stvořen všemocným bří Arnoldové, aby v něm mohli spokojeně žít a našli v něm „Vše pod jednou střechou“. A tudíž nemůže existovat nic takového jako Zvenčí. Dává to dokonalý smysl. Tedy alespoň až do chvíle, kdy se objeví skupinka nómů, kteří přijeli na náklaďáku, tvrdí, že jsou Zvenčí, mluví o Dnech, Nocích, Sněhu a podobných bláznivých pověrách. A nakonec objeví ohromující zprávu — Obchod bude zbourán. Muskulín, jeden ze Zvenkovanů, musí vymyslet odvážný plán útěku, který, pokud se povede, navždy změní nómí pohled na svět

Clad in black velvet and posing as a widowed French comtesse, Gabrielle de Beaucaire had returned to England for one purpose only-to ruin the man responsible for her young lover's death. But convincing the forbidding Nathaniel Praed, England's greatest spymaster, that she would make the perfect agent for his secret service would not be easy. And even after Gabrielle had lured the devastatingly attractive lord to her bed, she would have to contend with his distrust-and with the unexpected hunger that his merest touch aroused… From the moment he met her, Nathaniel Praed knew that the alluring Gabrielle de Beaucaire spelled trouble. But though he fought her outrageously bold advances, he could not stem the turbulent hunger that swept through him when the tall, titian-haired vixen pressed her lips to his. Now, against his better judgment, she is in his employ. And as Europe trembles at a tyrant's war and sinister minds plot against them, Nathaniel and Gabrielle find themselves at the mercy of an exquisite passion…and a love that could save-or destroy-both their lives… Nathaniel flung himself from his horse and ran to the inert figure. "Gabrielle! Dear God!" He dropped to his knees beside her, tearing at the snowy cravat to bare her throat, his fingers feeling for her pulse. It was strong but fast. He sighed with relief and then frowned. The black lashes formed half-moons on the pale skin, her lips were slightly parted, her chest rising and falling with each regular breath. Her pulse was far too vibrant for an unconscious person. "Gabrielle," he said in a near whisper. "If this is a trick, so help me, I'll make you sorrier than you've ever been in your life." "Try it," she said. Her eyelids swept up, revealing utterly mischievous charcoal eyes, and in the same moment she sat up. Her arms went around his neck before he realized what was happening and her mouth found his. A wildness swept through him. His arms went around her. For a minute their tongues fenced, and then he moved his hands to grasp her head, holding it strongly as he drove deep within her mouth on a voyage of assertion that in some faint part of his brain seemed long overdue. Gabrielle had believed she could fake sufficient response to satisfy him. She had not expected to find herself responding from some deep passionate well within herself. It wasn't supposed to happen. But it was happening. And Nathaniel Praed was matching her every step of the way. And it was going to play merry hell with her schemes of revenge…

A classic World War II novel from the bestselling thriller writer Derek Lambert. For the beleaguered German and Russian armies there is no war beyond the carnage in the city’s grim skeleton, and the terrible winter at their heels. Desperate men need heroes to boost their morale: orders come from the very top for a duel between champion snipers Antonov the Russian, and Meister the German – a contest each must win. For the two marksmen there is now no war but the race to pin the other in their sights. And no other companion, either, than the stranger whose mind each must read. Dead heroes or living legends? Only time will tell

Please note: this is not dark romance. I am not a good man. I have lied and cheated and stolen. I've decided between life or death, like it was my due. None of it matters, not anymore. These are not my sins. I see her raise her hands, the dark metal she's clutching reflecting the moonlight. Her finger trembles as she cocks the gun pointed at me. Her eyes are cold, determined, but I know. I know her. My name is Devon Andre and I confess my sin. I am not a good man because this is the woman I love. She pulls the trigger

So the Saint pledged himself to a vendetta which took him to Sicily, a land particularly suited to that ancient bloody custom. From then on, except for an interlude with a luscious Italian pasta named Gina, it was all-out, heel-stomping war, with the Robin Hood of Modern Crime pitted against the arch-evil, centuries-old traditions of the Mafia!

Vendetta in Spain Readers of The Golden Spaniard and other books in which the glamorous Lucretia-Jose appears with the Duke de Richleau may recall that her parentage was surrounded by mystery. Over the years many people have written, asking for an account of the great romance that led to her birth. The story takes us back to Spain, in 1906, when the Duke had not yet succeeded his father, and was still the Count de Quesnoy. In these days it is not easy for us to realize that, less than fifty years ago, there was hardly a Monarch or President who could leave his bed in the morning with any certainty that he would live through the day. Anarchism permeated every country in Europe. Not a night passed without groups of fanatics meeting in cellars to plan attempts with knives, pistols or bombs against the representatives of law and order; not a month passed without some royalty or high official falling a victim to their plots. In Spain, an historic bomb outrage that led to scores of innocent people being killed or injured, gave de Quesnoy ample cause to vow vengeance on the assassins. His attempt to penetrate anarchist circles in Barcelona nearly cost him his life. In San Sebastian, Granada and Cadiz he hunted and was hunted by them in a ruthless vendetta. Only after two years did it end in a final desperate gamble with death. It is against this background of true history, subtle intrigue, sudden violence, terrorism, blackmail and suspense that there develops the bitter-sweet romance between the gallant young de Quesnoy and the beautiful Condesa Gulia, the wife of a friend he loves and honours. Their frustrated passion leads to a denouement that rivals in surprise and breath-taking effect the outcome of his vendetta against the anarchists

¿Qué amenaza se cierne sobre las aguas de la laguna de Venecia? La aparición de un hombre muerto frente a uno de los hornos de fundición de una fábrica de cristal de Murano implicará al comisario Brunetti en una asombrosa trama en la que se mezclan la corrupción política y los delitos ecológicos. La víctima ha dejado pistas en un ejemplar de un libro de Dante, y Brunetti deberá adentrarse en el Infierno para descubrir quién es el autor del crimen y qué intereses ocultos se mueven en la isla de Murano. Navegando por Venecia, caminando por callejones estrechos y en bares sombríos, Donna Leon nos descubre esa Venecia casi legendaria donde cualquier misterio es posible. Veneno de cristal es una obra fascinante, la mejor Donna Leon en su intriga más inteligente. «Donna Leon tiene una capacidad maravillosa para captar los males que se esconden detrás de la fachada de la ciudad mágica», The Times. «Donna Leon es una de las más interesantes damas del crimen», Manuel Rodríguez Rivero, El País. «Una de las series de detectives más exquisitas e inteligentes jamás escritas», The Washington Post. «Una de las mejores y más populares escritoras policíacas de nuestros días», El Mundo

Un mondo completamente diverso dal nostro; la civiltà dei ledom, enigmatiche creature ermafrodite, che hanno osato rivoluzionare sesso e religione per ottenere quello che l’homo sapiens non ha mai avuto. Charlie Johns, un uomo come tanti altri, uno di, noi, scaraventato d’improvviso in una situazione estranea, costretto ad osservare e giudicare questa civiltà alternativa. Da questi elementi Theodore Sturgeon, uno dei massimi autori americani di science-fiction, ha tratto una storia sublime e impegnativa; ha costruito un’opera che scava ’nelle nostre coscienze, indagando senza pietà sino al fondo della storia umana. Un romanzo che non è semplicemente un romanzo: una stupefacente lezione di libertà, un canto corale sul futuro del nostro pianeta. E i bambini diventano divinità, il tempo perde le dimensioni consuete, il cielo è una cupola d’energia. Attraverso una trama magicamente semplice, ricca di simbolismi e d’inventiva, Sturgeon tiene avvinto il lettore fino all’agghiacciante conclusione. Come ha scritto Frederik Pohl: “Forse questo non e il romanzo più strano di Sturgeon, ma e senz’altro il più bello.” Nominate per il premio Hugo per il miglior romanzo in 1961

Venetia is a satisfying combination of comedy and the vein of deeper feeling which counterbalances Heyer’s clear-eyed realism and satirical pen. Venetia is one of Heyer’s most liberated heroines: she is a great realist about men, and about her own situation as a rich but isolated young woman, nearly too old for marriage, destined to marry a dull farmer or dwindle to aunt-hood, deep in the Yorkshire dales. When bad Lord Damerel returns to his neglected estates, the scene is set for an encounter of true minds. Yes, sexual attraction runs like a thread of fire between him and Venetia, but sense of humour and shared interests are more important in the meeting of soul-mates. Love changes everything, and the heartbreak is as real, because the hearts are real, as any you could read, just as the ending has all the satisfaction for the reader, as well as for the characters, of being truly earned

Monsieur le Vicomte is a remarkable man – not least because, for all concerned, he had been guillotined along with numerous French aristocrats. Yet by some twist of fate he managed to escape and seek refuge in Turin, out of the jurisdiction of the French authorities. But by an even more perverse twist of fate, he is apprehended, leaving him once and for all in the hands of the gods. In this dramatic adventure, Sabatini portrays all the colour and passion of Revolutionary France

THEIR GOAL – THE MOON THEIR MISSION – DEATH. From the rocket base at Peenemunde the Nazis fired the deadliest and most accurate weapon the world had ever seen – the intercontinental V2.

This is an action filled World War Two historical fiction novel about Jacob Scott Williams, the assistant gun director on the battleship Oklahoma when the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor. The story begins with a news reporter for a radio station getting the assignment to interview a retired Navy admiral who is celebrating his one hundredth birthday. The conversation rapidly turns to the memories of William’s participation in WW2, when he accepted the surrender of a Japanese submarine at the end of the war. From there he continues to relate the major events in his experience which led him to that point. The action starts with LCDR Williams having a meeting with the junior officers under his command in the officer’s wardroom on the morning of December 7th, when the first torpedo strikes the ship. Ten minutes later he is swimming for his life in Pearl Harbor as the battleship Arizona blows up and his own ship rolls over and dies. Consumed by thoughts of revenge, his deepest desire is to kill as many Japanese as he can before the war is over. He accepts a transfer to the battleship North Carolina taking the position as the Air Defense Officer. Several years after that he receives command of a light cruiser called the Buffalo. During his tours of duty on each of these ships he witnesses several torpedo attacks, air attacks, a submarine attack and one of the first organized Kamikaze attacks of the war. Each battle he faces he loses more of his shipmates and several times faces the possibility of his own death. But his one-on-one confrontation with the deadliest of his enemies proves more shocking and life-changing than all his battles and tragedies combined. This man’s journey from hatred to honor is one that will strike directly at the heart of any human being

Петр справился с первым шоком и даже начал осваиваться в новом мире, в котором для него все только начинается

With Venice: Pure City, Peter Ackroyd is at his most magical and magisterial, presenting a glittering, evocative, fascinating, story-filled portrait of the ultimate city. “Ackroyd provides a history of and meditation on the actual and imaginary Venice in a volume as opulent and paradoxical as the city itself. . . . How Ackroyd deftly catalogues the overabundance of the city’s real and literary tropes and touchstones is itself a kind of tribute to La Serenissima, as Venice is called, and his seductive voice is elegant and elegiac. The resulting book is, like Venice, something rich, labyrinthine and unique that makes itself and its subject both new and necessary.” —Publishers Weekly The Venetians’ language and way of thinking set them aside from the rest of Italy. They are an island people, linked to the sea and to the tides rather than the land. This lat¬est work from the incomparable Peter Ackroyd, like a magic gondola, transports its readers to that sensual and surprising city. His account embraces facts and romance, conjuring up the atmosphere of the canals, bridges, and sunlit squares, the churches and the markets, the festivals and the flowers. He leads us through the history of the city, from the first refugees arriving in the mists of the lagoon in the fourth century to the rise of a great mercantile state and its trading empire, the wars against Napoleon, and the tourist invasions of today. Everything is here: the merchants on the Rialto and the Jews in the ghetto; the glassblowers of Murano; the carnival masks and the sad colonies of lepers; the artists—Bellini, Titian, Tintoretto, Tiepolo. And the ever-present undertone of Venice’s shadowy corners and dead ends, of prisons and punishment, wars and sieges, scandals and seductions. Ackroyd’s Venice: Pure City is a study of Venice much in the vein of his lauded London: The Biography. Like London, Venice is a fluid, writerly exploration organized around a number of themes. History and context are provided in each chapter, but Ackroyd’s portrait of Venice is a particularly novelistic one, both beautiful and rapturous. We could have no better guide—reading Venice: Pure City is, in itself, a glorious journey to the ultimate city

DIPLOMAT, WRITER AND POET, traveller and socialite, friend of Proust, Giraudoux and Malraux, Paul Morand was out of the most original writers of the twentieth century.
