      En vie est le roman d'une greffe. Le récit des jours et des nuits, qui se transforment en mois puis en saisons, passés dans des chambres d'hôpital par un homme qui attend un foie. Allongé sur son lit, ce vaisseau spatial blanc grâce auquel il voyage à travers ses souvenirs et ses rêves, il assiste au défilé ininterrompu des patients avec qui il partage son quotidien, leurs histoires et leurs confessions. Ses pensées le ramènent constamment à des questions universelles et intimes : la vie vaut-elle la peine ? quel en est le sens ? qui est mort pour qu'il puisse vivre ? l'amour peut-il aider à surmonter la maladie ?

      Wagner and Cousens demonstrate a tachyon theory that unveils the delicate weave of Spirit, kundalini, health, physics, and biology as a subtle dance out of traditional healing. This book explains, in the authors' persuasive words and case studies, the breakthrough holistic healing technology called Tachyon energy. Benefits include a more rapid healing and at least a partial reversal of the aging process. They have successfully merged concepts of science and spirituality, as they bridge the faster than light world of existence with our slower than light world of form. The reader of this book will understand profoundly how tachyon energy is the source of all frequencies as well as the source of all healing.

      "Translator Rick Montoya is looking forward to a quiet weekend away in beautiful Urbino with his girlfriend, Betta, an art fraud investigator for the Italian Culture Ministry. While Betta does have official business-namely, collecting a priceless Piero drawing from a wealthy Spanish collector-she asks Rick to join her "in case she needs an interpreter," but with other, less-official intentions in mind. When the Spaniard is found murdered and the drawing stolen, Betta must shift back into art cop mode, and Rick's official services are required after all. Will this lovers' getaway literally be to die for?"--
