MAJOR NEW NETFLIX SERIES This must-read story is a confident, action-and-violence packed thriller, and future classic noir SF novel from a multi-award-winning author. Four hundred years from now mankind is strung out across a region of interstellar space inherited from an ancient civilization discovered on Mars. The colonies are linked together by the occasional sublight colony ship voyages and hyperspatial data-casting. Human consciousness is digitally freighted between the stars and downloaded into bodies as a matter of course. But some things never change. So when ex-envoy, now-convict Takeshi Kovacs has his consciousness and skills downloaded into the body of a nicotine-addicted ex-thug and presented with a catch-22 offer, he really shouldn¿t be surprised. Contracted by a billionaire to discover who murdered his last body, Kovacs is drawn into a terrifying conspiracy that stretches across known space and to the very top of society.

Le monde médical croit connaître le pouvoir d'Arolen, mais le complot que va découvrir Adam dépasse l'imagination de tous : au large de Miami, les plus grands médecins participent à de bien étranges croisières; à Porto Rico, dans des laboratoires bien gardés, des apprentis sorciers jouent avec la vie...

À Mont-Ephraim, petite ville de l’État de New York, tout le monde connaît les Mulvaney, et leur envie de bonheur et de réussite. Michael, le père, d’origine modeste, a su, à force de travail, obtenir sa place au soleil et se faire accepter par la bonne société de la ville. Grâce à sa femme, qu’il adore, la ferme qu’ils habitent est un coin de paradis, une maison de conte de fées où, au milieu d’une nature splendide, entourés de chiens, de chats, d’oiseaux, de chevaux et immensément d’amour, leurs trois fils et leur fille Marianne vivent une enfance inoubliable. Mais, le jour de la St-Valentin 1976, un drame survient qui met un terme à cette existence idyllique, fait voler la famille en éclats et marque de manière indélébile chacun de ses membres… C’est Judd Mulvaney, le benjamin qui, devenu journaliste, retrace l’histoire des siens, avec humilité parce qu’il sait que « rien de ce qui se passe entre des êtres humains n’est simple et qu’il est impossible de parler d’eux sans les simplifier ou en donner une image déformée. » Il évoque avec nostalgie le bonheur lumineux qui était le leur avant la « chute », puis raconte la désagrégation de la famille, la dureté de la société à l’égard des « perdants », et le parcours long, douloureux, émouvant, que suivront les Mulvaney avant de parvenir, chacun à sa façon, à retrouver l’amour et la sérénité.
Le prime vertiginose avventure di Hap e Leonard, la coppia di detective più strampalata e divertente del noir «made in Usa». Tre romanzi avvincenti dalla prima all'ultima pagina. Una bionda esplosiva che torna dal passato, un milione di dollari sporchi da recuperare nel letto di un fiume ghiacciato, una strana banda di spostati che non ha perso la voglia di cambiare il mondo, lo scheletro di un bambino nascosto sotto il pavimento, un'eredità inattesa, case fatiscenti, musicisti blues. E ancora: magia nera, sesso, horror e un umorismo strepitoso, che in Lansdale non manca mai.
Il precedente romanzo di James Morrow, "L'ultimo viaggio di Dio", si concludeva con Dio che riposava, apparentemente morto, nella sua tomba tra i ghiacci dell'Artico. In questo nuovo romanzo la Santa Sede ha deciso di vendere il corpus dei alla Confederazione battista americana. I nuovi proprietari, convinti che un resto di vita spiri ancora nelle divine membra, hanno collegato il corpo a una gigantesca macchina cuore-polmoni e ne hanno fatto l'attrazione principale di un parco giochi a tema biblico. Ma Martin Candle, giudice di pace di Abaddon, Pennsylvania, ha deciso di portare Dio davanti alla Corte internazionale dell'Aia e di processarlo per tutte le ingiustizie e le catastrofi che hanno colpito nei secoli il genere umano.
