Riesgos de los viajes en el tiempo
by Joyce Carol OatesLa novela más imaginativa, joven y distópica de Joyce Carol Oates. «Agárrate fuerte: esta es una obra sobrecogedora de principio a fin.»The Guardian «Una novela memorable.»Publishers Weekly En el Estado rígido y totalitario en el que tiene lugar esta historia, los viajes en el tiempo, tanto como sus peligros, son muy reales. Sin embargo, aquí no son el origen de divertidas aventuras, sino castigos del poder contra individuos subversivos. Individuos como Adriane Strohl, aunque ella nunca hubiese sospechado ser una chica peligrosa. Después dar su discurso de graduación y a modo de «rehabilitación» por Traición y Cuestionamiento de la Autoridad, Adriane es enviada a Wainscotia, una ciudad que solo existía ochenta años antes, en 1959. Pero su idealismo no entiende de saltos temporales y no puede evitar cuestionar los principios que rigen su sociedad, con resultados liberadores... pero también estremecedores. La crítica ha dicho...«Esta historia parece estar cargada de los horrores de nuestra época orwelliana.»Independent «La escritura de Oates siempre ha parecido sencilla: urgente, temeraria, torrencial. Escribe como una mujer que se adentra en una región salvaje sin mirar atrás.»The New York Times Book Review «Si sientes que perteneces a otra época, plantéate la posibilidad de que vienes del futuro y de que has sido enviado al pasado a modo de castigo [...]. Esta es una novela extraña y desgarradora.»Los Angeles Review of Books «Oates sigue cautivando con su terrible magia oscura.»The Washington Post «Una maestra del diálogo afilado y de las descripciones vibrantes, Oates sigue siendo poderosamente fascinante.»People «La violencia del mundo de Oates es excesiva porque se parece mucho a la nuestra.»The New York Times «Vívida e inquietante. [...] La nueva novela de Oates es da escalofríos.»New Statesman «Joyce Carol Oates reinventa aquí el género y crea una historia brillante de amor y exilio.»James Gleick «La escritora más sólida, ingeniosa, brillante, curiosa y creativa del momento.»Gillian Flynn
Rifare i mondi
by Lydia Del Devoto Paul VailléSecondo un'antica teoria, un uomo non sarà realmente in sintonia con il mondo e attore del suo tempo, se non dopo aver vissuto tre esistenze: l'anima vegetale, l'anima animale e l'anima razionale.

Niels idealizza questa diagnosi in un colpo di fulmine per una perfetta sconosciuta, Stella, che spera di riconquistare mettendo in pratica il gioco dell'anima che gli è stato insegnato da un fioraio. Attraverso il dialogo con la sua anima, solo allora riuscirà a guardare nella stessa direzione del suo alter ego e rifare il mondo nella sua diversità.

Reeve's dream has always been to rebuild Lithia. But when a mysterious explosion destroys the station, forcing Reeve to crash-land on Lithia's blood-hued soil, he soon learns that the reality of saving a dying planet is quite different from what he imagined. For Gabriel Bonhert, former captain of the space station, has set in motion a world cataclysm, using a fatal probe that will travel down the fiery pathway of a deep mantle plume.Now, to save the homeland he has never known, Reeve is caught in a race against time to reach Bonhert's base in the Rift Valley, a remote volcanic gateway to the hidden heart of Lithia. His staunchest ally may be a feral girl who alone seems enthralled by what Lithia is becoming, and whose enigmatic past holds the key to startling possibilities. As the old Lithia struggles to be reborn in a tide of toxic red flora creeping across the oxygen-starved planet, Reeve forges onward, coming into conflict with savage enclaves of colonists, a doomsday genemorphing cult, and a mysterious alien race with its own intentions for the planet--intentions that may include humanity's slavery or their terrible transformation....From the Paperback edition.

Right Livelihoods: Three Novellas
by Rick MoodyRIGHT LIVELIHOODS begins with a cataclysmic vision of New York City after the leveling of 50 square blocks of Manhattan. Four million have died. Albertine, the "street name for the buzz of a lifetime," is a mind-altering drug that sets The Albertine Notes in motion. The collection's second novella, K & K, concerns a lonely young office manager at an insurance agency, where the office suggestion box is yielding unpleasant messages that escalate to a scary pitch. Ellie Knight-Cameron's responses to these random diatribes illuminate the toll that a lack of self-awareness can take. At the center of The Omega Force is a buffoonish former government official in rocky recovery. Dr. "Jamie" Van Deusen is determined to protect his habitat--its golf courses (and Bloody Marys), pizza places (and beers) from "dark-complected" foreign nationals. His patriotism and wild imagination are mainly fueled by a fall off the wagon. Only Rick Moody could lead us to feel affection for this man and the other misguided, earnestly striving characters in these alternately unsettling, warm, trio of stories.

Both of them have damaged pasts, but the author does not harp on their angst, instead concentrates on their strengths. The plot is fast moving and full of exciting action and steamy love scenes. I definitely recommend this book and the entire series.” Coffee Time Romance and More

Rihannsu: The Bloodwing Voyages (Star Trek)
by Diane Duane Peter MorwoodTHE HISTORIC SAGA BEGINS Born in the twilight years of Vulcan's violent and passionate past, those who declared themselves Rihannsu chose to reign free in the unknown reaches of space rather than to serve under the new tyranny of logic. Having severed themselves from their homeworld, they survived the perilous voyage across the stars to wash ashore on a distant planet, there to begin the civilization that would one day flower into the Romulan Star Empire. Now, after millennia of wars and conquests, that empire is decaying from within, surrendering its noble heritage to reckless ambition, abandoning honor for kidnapping and murder. The corruption is so great that the Rihannsu's finest military officer -- Commander Ael t'Rllaillieu of the warbird Bloodwing -- believes she can save her people only by joining forces with her greatest enemy: Captain James T. Kirk of the Starship Enterprise™. Meanwhile, on the Romulan homeworld, a Federation deep-cover agent has been posing as a household servant named Arrhae i-Khellian -- but her operation takes a strange turn when a captured Starfleet officer is brought to her home . . . The lives of Ael, Arrhae, and the crew of the Enterprise come together in these astonishing adventures -- originally published in four volumes: My Enemy, My Ally; The Romulan Way; Swordhunt; and Honor Blade -- that will challenge everything you thought you knew about the Romulans.
