Tripletta di Mezzanotte: Tre Agghiaccianti Novelle Canadesi
by Steve VernonMi piace un buon romanzo. È come un bel pugno secco nell’addome. Dato per bene - ha un impatto! "Una straordinaria morte improvvisa" è stato originariamente pubblicato come una novella a sé. Volevo scrivere un film di serie B - ma ero troppo pigro per imparare a scrivere una sceneggiatura - così ho deciso di scrivere qualcosa che avrebbe divertito sia i lettori che me stesso - tanto quanto un buon film di mostri di serie B - come "Tremors" o "Ragazzi perduti" o "Fright Night-Il vampiro della porta" accanto o "30 giorni di buio". Sono stato a lungo affascinato nel vedere come la gente comune si comporta di fronte al male. Questi sono i miei personaggi preferiti – persone semplici, comuni. Mi piace immaginarle coraggiose e romantiche e selvagge e piena di vita - perché tutti abbiamo questo potenziale sepolto dentro di noi in profondità. Così - quando mi sono seduto a scrivere "Un straordinaria morte improvvisa" ho preso le persone più difficili che avessi mai immaginato e le ho gettate contro le forze delle tenebre. "Hammurabi Road" è stato originariamente pubblicato nel 2007 come la seconda novella di una raccolta di due novelle intitolata HARD ROADS - pubblicata da Gray Friar Press. La storia è il mio modo di rivisitare la mia casa d'infanzia di Capreol, Ontario - una piccola città ferroviaria dove sono cresciuto. L'ultima novella - "Non una storia di fantasmi qualunque" non è mai stato pubblicato prima. Spero che questi racconti vi piacciano quanto mi sono divertito a scriverli.

Tristan Strong Destroys The World (Tristan Strong)
by Kwame MbaliaBestselling author Rick Riordan presents the second book in the New York Times best-selling and award-winning Tristan Strong trilogy by Kwame Mbalia. "Mbalia's universe continues to excite through sheer conceptual brilliance, nonstop action and adventure, and--let's be honest--the comical aggression of sidekick god Gum Baby."--Booklist Tristan Strong, just back from a victorious but exhausting adventure in Alke, the land of African American folk heroes and African gods, is suffering from PTSD. But there's no rest for the weary when his grandmother is abducted by a mysterious villain out for revenge. Tristan must return to Alke--and reunite with his loud-mouthed sidekick, Gum Baby--in order to rescue Nana and stop the culprit from creating further devastation. Anansi, now a "web developer" in Tristan's phone, is close at hand to offer advice, and several new folk heroes will aid Tristan in his quest, but he will only succeed if he can figure out a way to sew broken souls back together. *"Well-paced--just like the previous installment--this sequel focuses on themes such as the meaning of diaspora and the effects of trauma, making for a more nuanced and stronger story than the first. Packs a punch."--Kirkus (starred review) While perfect for middle schoolers, this book has enough depth to be enjoyed by older readers, too.

by Jack CampbellA young fleet officer and a Marine must stand together to defend their neighbors and their colony in this return to the powerful and action-packed Genesis Fleet saga from New York Times bestselling author Jack Campbell. The recently colonized world of Glenlyon has learned that they're stronger when they stand with other star systems than they are on their own. But after helping their neighbor Kosatka against an invasion, Glenlyon has become a target. The aggressive star systems plan to neutralize Glenlyon before striking again. An attack is launched against Glenlyon's orbital facility with forces too powerful for fleet officer Rob Geary to counter using their sole remaining destroyer, Saber. Mele Darcy's Marines must repel repeated assaults while their hacker tries to get into the enemy systems to give Saber a fighting chance. To survive, Glenlyon needs more firepower, and the only source for that is their neighbor Kosatka or other star systems that have so far remained neutral. But Kosatka is still battling the remnants of the invasion forces on its own world, and if it sends its only remaining warship to help will be left undefended against another invasion. While Carmen Ochoa fights for the freedom of Kosatka, Lochan Nakamura must survive assassins as he tries to convince other worlds to join a seemingly hopeless struggle. As star systems founded by people seeking freedom and autonomy, will Kosatka, Glenlyon and others be able to overcome deep suspicions of surrendering any authority to others? Will the free star systems stand together in a new Alliance, or fall alone?
