Desde sus primeros pasos en la militancia política hasta el reencuentro feliz, años después, con la Patagonia y la Tierra del Fuego, con sus poblados y sus gentes, perdidos en la desolada inmensidad del paisaje, como el tren que da título al libro. Así, conocemos a marineros vagabundos, profesores más aficionados al casino y los prostíbulos que a las aulas, ricas familias con problemas de descendencia, bardos de la región, locutores altruistas o aviadores enloquecidos

One day, a bottle almost hits us. It’s a brown quart bottle that falls out of the sky. We are in the arroyo, the dogs and me, walking…

Since childhood, Dessel has known only the abuse of his hateful father and the dangerous, soul-crushing labor of a cortosis miner. Deep in the tunnels of the desolate planet Apatros, endlessly excavating the rare mineral valued throughout the galaxy, Dessel dreams of the day he can escape — a day he fears may never come. But when a high-stakes card game ends in deadly violence, Dessel suddenly finds himself a wanted man. On the run from vengeful Republic forces, Dessel vanishes into the ranks of the Sith army, and ships out to join the bloody war against the Republic and its Jedi champions. There, Dessel’s brutality, cunning, and exceptional command of the Force swiftly win him renown as a warrior. But in the eyes of his watchful masters, he is destined for a far greater role in the ultimate Sith plan for the galaxy — if he can prove himself truly worthy. As an acolyte in the Sith academy, studying the secrets and skills of the dark side at the feet of its greatest masters, Dessel embraces his new Sith identity: Bane. However the true test is yet to come. In order to gain acceptance into the Brotherhood of Darkness one must fully surrender to the dark side through a trial by fire that Bane, for all his unquenchable fury and lust for power, may not be strong enough to endure…especially since deception, treachery, and murder run rampant among the Sith disciples, and utter ruthlessness alone is the key to survival. Only by defying the most sacred traditions, rejecting all he has been taught, and drawing upon the long-forgotten wisdom of the very first Sith can Bane hope to triumph — and forge from the ashes of that which he must destroy a new era of absolute dark power

This is the story not of a hero but of a heel. As such, it’s a bit out of line for an Adventure yarn, where the main character usually turns out to be a pretty good joe, at least in the end. Maybe we should label it an off-the-trail story, a phrase that has been used in this magazine for many years to describe an unusual piece of fiction. Anyway, it was too good to pass up — hero or heel, we thought you’d want to meet the inimitable Major Stacey Barnett

From Publishers Weekly If Thor's second international thriller had any more testosterone, it would grow hair. This follow-up to The Lions of Lucerne is loaded with explosions, gunfights, car chases and hairbreadth escapes as Secret Service agent Scot Harvath battles religious extremists and incompetent CIA spooks to save the world from WWIII. The Hand of God, an apparent Israeli terrorist group, is blowing up mosques in Saudi Arabia, assassinating Arab leaders and hijacking airplanes, all in an effort to provoke the Arab world into war with Israel. Harvath tries to derail the terrorist plot and avenge the deaths of buddies killed in the first book. Aided by Meg Cassidy, a beautiful Chicago public relations expert, Harvath chases the terrorist leader and a silver-eyed assassin from Hong Kong through Europe to North Africa. However, since Cassidy is the only one alive who has seen the face of the terrorist leader, the assassin chases them, too, trying to kill Cassidy before she can point him out. The story is one bloody episode after another, with a touch of romance and colorful turf battles between the CIA, FBI, Delta Force and Harvath himself. Thor stacks the deck in favor of his hero-Harvath never makes a mistake, and his view of how counterterrorism operations should be conducted is invariably proven correct. To top it off, he boasts about his remarkable talents. With its infallible hero, fetching sidekick and wicked bad guys, this international shoot 'em up sticks close to formula, but the well-choreographed action and thrills will keep readers engrossed

VENGEANCE IS A DISH BEST SERVED HOT.Imperial Intelligence couldn't find them, the Imperial Fleet couldn't catch them, and local defenses couldn't stop them. It seemed the planet-wrecking pirates were invincible. But the pirates made a big mistake when they raided ex-commando leader Alicia DeVries' quiet home world, tortured and murdered her family, and then left her for dead.Since the Imperial forces seem hog-tied, Alicia decides to turn "pirate" herself, and steals a cutting-edge AI ship from the Empire to start her vendetta. Her fellow veterans think she's crazy, the Imperial Fleet has shoot-on-sight orders. And of course the pirates want her dead, too. But Alicia DeVries has two allies nobody knows about, allies as implacable as she is: a self-aware computer, and a creature from the mists of Old Earth's most ancient legends. And this trio of furies won't rest until vengeance is served

CHOSEN TO RISE. DESTINED TO FALL. Anakin Skywalker is no longer a boy, but not yet a man. Almost thirteen, he has begun to travel on the path that will lead him to glory…and infamy. In the mysterious caves of Ilum, Anakin must create his lightsaber after confronting the demons of his past — and his future. Once the lightsaber is completed, Anakin joins his Master, Obi-Wan Kenobi, on a mission that will cut to the heart of his fear, anger, and power. When Anakin was a young slave on Tatooine, everyone lived in terror of a creature named Krayn, who kidnapped slaves for his own profit — and killed anyone who got in his way. Now Krayn's evil has grown to a dangerous degree, threatening peace and safe passage throughout the galaxy. Anakin and Obi-Wan must stop Krayn. But can Obi-Wan also stop Anakin from seeking vengeance against an old enemy? The path to truth is a clear one. Anakin's path is not

Although The Pioneers was first of the “Leatherstocking” books to be published, the period of time covered (principally 1793) makes it the fourth chronologically. The story takes place on the rapidly advancing frontier of New York State and features a middle-aged Leatherstocking (Natty Bumppo), Judge Marmaduke Temple of Templeton, whose life parallels that of the author’s father Judge William Cooper, and Elizabeth Temple (Cooper’s sister), of Cooperstown. The story begins with an argument between the Judge and the Leatherstocking over who killed a buck, and as Cooper reviews many of the changes to his fictional Lake Otsego, questions of environmental stewardship, conservation, and use prevail. The plot develops as the Leatherstocking and Chingachgook begin to compete with the Temples for the loyalties of a mysterious young visitor, “Oliver Edwards,” the “young hunter,” who eventually marries Elizabeth. Chingachgook dies, exemplifying the vexed figure of the “dying Indian,” and Natty vanishes into the sunset. For all its strange twists and turns, ‘The Pioneers’ may be considered one of the first ecological novels in the United States. (source: Wikipedia)

Rigg is well trained at keeping secrets. Only his father knows the truth about Rigg's strange talent for seeing the paths of people's pasts.

Rigg’s birthright sets him on a path that leaves him caught between two factions, one that wants him crowned and one that wants him dead. He will be forced to question everything he thinks he knows, choose who to trust, and push the limits of his talent…or forfeit control of his destiny

Введите сюда краткую аннотацию

This is the story of a man who loved two women, and one of them killed him. Some people have dreams that are so outrageous that if they were to achieve them, their place in history would be guaranteed. Christopher Columbus, Isaac Newton, Florence Nightingale, Thomas Edison, Nancy Astor, Charles Lindbergh, Amy Johnson, Edmund Hilary and Neil Armstrong are among such individuals. But what if one man had such a dream, and when he'd achieved it, there was no proof that he had fulfilled his ambition? "Paths of Glory", is the story of such a man. But not until you've turned the last page of this extraordinary novel, will you be able to decide if George Mallory should be added to this list of legends, because if he were, another name would have to be removed

When you have to kill the same terrorist twice in one week there’s either something wrong with your world or something wrong with your skills… and there’s nothing wrong with Joe Ledger’s skills. And that’s both a good, and a bad thing. It’s good because he’s a Baltimore detective that has just been secretly recruited by the government to lead a new taskforce created to deal with the problems that Homeland Security can’t handle. This rapid response group is called the Department of Military Sciences or the DMS for short. It’s bad because his first mission is to help stop a group of terrorists from releasing a dreadful bio-weapon that can turn ordinary people into zombies. The fate of the world hangs in the balance…

Mišels Fuko Patiesība, vara, patība Mišels Fuko (1926-1984) - franču domātājs, kas apvērsis tradicionālos priekštatus par filosofu un viņa darbu. Viņš publicējis darbus, bez kuriem nav iedomājama tagadnīga refleksija par mūsdienām un vēsturi, - "Ārprātības vēsture", "Klīnikas dzimšana", "Uzraudzīt un sodīt", "Vārdi un lietas", "Seksualitātes vēsture" u.c. Fuko ne tikai raksta grāmatas un lasa lekcijas, bet arī aktīvi iesaistās sociālpolitiskajā konfrontācijā, dažkārt izbaudot policistu nūju belzienus. Fuko uzskatāmi demonstrē, ka filosofija ir noteikta dzīves forma. Viņš ir robežu domātājs, neļaujot vairs domāt pa vecam. Fuko veido eksistences ētiku un estētiku, kas izvēršas kā jaunas dzīves mākslas meklējums. Tulkojuši Roberts Apinis, Elga Freiberga, Maira Mora, Astra Šmite, Andžela Šuvajeva, Igors Šuvajevs, 1995

Любому русскому человеку известно, что подкрадывается незаметно. Так и тут – уехал в экзотический край, и угодил в «задницу дьявола», причем в самом прямом смысле – свалился в водопад со столь характерным «поэтическим» названием, с головой окунулся в бурлящей речной воде. А вот когда вынырнул – действительно, то самое место и есть, и «глубже» не бывает – мистика, право слово. 1860-е года. Латинская Америка охвачена конфликтами, междоусобицами и пронунсиаменто. Ужасная ситуация, когда ты оказался не в своем времени, на чужой для себя войне, от которой тебя вроде отделяло ровно полтора века. И что хуже всего, когда хорошо знаешь, что страна, за которую тебе предстоит сражаться, потерпит самое кошмарное поражение, каких никогда не случалось в Новом Свете за всю историю. Отказаться невозможно, выбора фактически нет – умереть просто, но на войне можно и уцелеть…

В 3035 году Арториус Кирэго, житель планеты Земля, как и многие другие призывается на службу в Космическую гвардию, а через год он и его друзья отправляются на Марсианский горнодобывающий комплекс, который неожиданно перестал выходить на связь. Причины этого оказались куда менее интереснее, чем то, что было там обнаружено. Один из нескольких загадочных древних артефактов оказался в рабочем состоянии и смог поделиться отрывком истории неизвестной цивилизации. Арториусу Кирэго и его друзьям предстоит выяснить причины гибели некогда высокоразвитой расы. В это же время в галактике разгорается война между двумя государствами и поиски ответов становятся затруднительными. Тем не менее Кирэго откроет правду и встретится с ней лицом к лицу

The United States has descended into Civil War. The storm was rising for some time, a Resistance in the hearts of American Patriots to the strangulation of liberty by creeping authoritarianism. The scene was set. It just took a little push. A terrorist attack on the United States leads to war with Iran, followed by collapse, as the economy goes over the cliff. The final blow is a widespread opportunistic Chinese cyber attack, taking down the North American Power Grid. From the ashes, the Regime emerges. Liberty is dead. What remains of the United States of America is polarized. The Resistance Rises. Jack Berenger is a former Army Ranger Captain, living in northern Virginia with his family. Following the collapse, they fall foul of Regime violence and evacuate to the farm of an old Army friend. Jack is recruited into the resistance, to train the fledgling forces in the Shenandoah Valley. The fight begins. Live Hard, Die Free. Resist

The author of "The Hunt for Red October" has produced another adventure thriller centred upon a scheme by the Ulster Liberation Army to kidnap the Prince of Wales. Jack Ryan with his Marine training foils this attempt but in the process becomes a target of Northern Ireland's most dangerous men

When Martha Dandridge Custis marries her second husband, George, she never suspects that the soft-spoken Virginia planter is destined to command the founding of a nation—or that she is to be “Lady Washington,” the woman at the first President’s side. Only a select inner circle of women will know the cost of sharing a beloved man with history . . . and each will draw strength from the unique treasure given to them by a doomed queen.  Seeing farm and family through each harsh New England season, Abigail Adams is sustained only by the fervent reunions stolen between John’s journeys abroad. She will face the terror of an ocean crossing to join her husband in France—and write her own page in history. And there she will cross paths with kings, commoners—and young Sally Hemings.  Just as Sally had grown from a clever child to a beautiful woman, so had her relationship with Thomas Jefferson grown from a friendship between slave and master to one entangled in the complexities of black and white, decorum and desire. It is a relationship that will leave Sally to face an agonizingly wrenching choice.   Dolley Madison, too, must live with the repercussions of a forbidden love affair—although she will confront even greater trials as a President’s wife. But Dolley will become one of the best-loved ladies of the White House—and leave an extraordinary legacy of her own.  A lushly written novel that traces the marriages tested by the demands of love and loyalty,Patriot Hearts offers readers a dazzling glimpse behind the scenes of a revolution, from adversity and treachery to teatime strategies, as four magnificent women shape a nation’s future

Three months after the EMP cripples the United States, John Mack and his family find their peaceful new existence shattered when a tyrant seizes control of the nearby town of Oneida. Charles Augustus Morgan is a presidential envoy, sent to restore law and order to the area. But his first order of business is to demand the confiscation of all firearms from the local population. Morgan’s offer is as ugly as the man himself: disarm or die. When John and his family get caught in the middle, the threat jeopardizes everything they’ve struggled to rebuild. Soon John encounters a group of Patriots who’ve sworn to stand against Morgan’s growing despotism. But John will learn that nothing in this new post-EMP America is what it seems—and that the deadliest threats are often the ones you didn’t see coming

Ingram "Los Angeles Daily News" calls "Patriots" "enormously entertaining", while "Kirkus Review" has high praise for the novel's "punchy action and realistic consequences". The rugged individualists who have settled the frontier planet of Greenwood are threatened by politicians and bean counters on Earth, who see Greenwood only in terms of profit. The settlers must set aside their local differences in order to meet the challenge and preserve their world and way of life

America faces a full-scale socioeconomic collapse—the stock market plummets, hyperinflation cripples commerce and the mounting crisis passes the tipping point. Practically overnight, the fragile chains of supply and high-technology infrastructure fall, and wholesale rioting and looting grip every major city. As hordes of refugees and looters pour out of the cities, a small group of friends living in the Midwest desperately tries to make their way to a safe-haven ranch in northern Idaho. The journey requires all their skill and training since communication, commerce, transportation and law enforcement have all disappeared. Once at the ranch, the group fends off vicious attacks from outsiders and then looks to join other groups that are trying to restore true Constitutional law to the country. Patriots is a thrilling narrative depicting fictional characters using authentic survivalist techniques to endure the collapse of the American civilization. Reading this compelling, fast-paced novel could one day mean the difference between life and death

Gdy Manse Ewerard zgłosił się na egzamin kwalifikacyjny i został przyjęty, firma, która rzekomo poszukiwała inżynierów, okazała się biurem rekrutacyjnym Patrolu Czasu. Do obowiązków Ewerarda jako Niezależnego Agenta należało strzeżenie Historii przed różnej masci szaleńcami i fanatykami, pragnącymi zmienić przeszłość. Gdyby wiedział, jak trudne i niebezpieczne będą jego misje, zapewne nie odpowiedziałby na ogłoszenie w gazecie…

Anton Gorodecki właśnie wrócił z rodziną z zasłużonego urlopu: odwiózł żonę Swietłanę i dwuletnią córeczkę Nadię na wieś i przyjechał do pustego moskiewskiego mieszkania. Co może robić „słomiany wdowiec”, dysponujący jeszcze kilkoma wolnymi – od pracy i obowiązków domowych – dniami? Zaprosić gości? Samemu gdzieś się wybrać? Posprzątać? Ale zanim Anton rozstrzygnął ten dylemat, zanim zaczął oddawać się błogiemu nieróbstwu czy „kawalerskim rozrywkom” zadzwonił Heser i wezwał swojego „maga do zadań specjalnych” do biura. Niby nic, a napięcie rośnie – przecież Heser nie wzywałby Gorodeckiego, gdyby nie wydarzyło się coś nadzwyczajnego. Albo… gdyby nie szykował kolejnej intrygi… Sprawa wyjaśnia się szybko – Heser informuje Antona, że pewien Inny wyjawił zwykłemu człowiekowi prawdę o istnieniu Innych, mało tego, ma zamiar przemienić tego człowieka w Innego – w każdym razie donos o takiej treści otrzymali szefowie Nocnego i Dziennego Patrolu, a także Inkwizycja. Skąd „Życzliwy” znał adresy biur obu Patroli – a co najważniejsze, adres siedziby Inkwizycji? Kim on jest? Kim jest ów Inny-zdrajca? A przede wszystkim – jak chce przemienić człowieka w Innego, skoro powszechnie wiadomo, że to absolutnie niemożliwe? A może… może to jednak jest możliwe? Wśród Innych krąży na wpół zapomniana legenda o księdze Fuaran, dzięki której rzekomo można z dowolnego człowieka uczynić Innego. Czyżby ta mityczna księga – której nikt nigdy nie widział, a która miałaby powstać wiele wieków temu – naprawdę istniała? Czyżby ktoś znalazł się w jej posiadaniu? Właśnie wyjaśnieniem tych wszystkich spraw ma zająć się Anton Gorodecki – razem ze „starymi znajomymi”: Inkwizytorami Edgarem i Witezsławem oraz przedstawicielem Dziennego Patrolu wampirem Kostią Sauszkinem, dawnym sąsiadem Antona, a obecnie Wyższym wampirem. W tym śledztwie nic nie będzie proste ani łatwe, a najtrudniejsze będą chyba wzajemne stosunki zmuszonych do współpracy Ciemnych, Jasnych i Inkwizycji. Wszystkie wątki mają podwójne dno, wszystkie punkty zaczepienia wyślizgują się z rąk, wszystkie nitki prowadzą nie do kłębka, lecz do istnego kłębowiska zagmatwanych, splątanych, powiązanych ze sobą spraw. Powoli, bardzo powoli ukazują się kolejne warstwy wydarzeń dawno minionych, utajnionych i z pozoru nie mających nic wspólnego ze śledztwem… „Patrol Zmroku” to trzeci tom z serii bestsellerowych Patroli, kontynuacja „Dziennego Patrolu” i „Nocnego Patrolu”

Deivids Morels Pats sev svešinieks KONTINENTS RĪGA Amerikāņu rakstnieka Deivida Morela romāns "Pats sev svešinieks" vēsta par cilvēka likteni, kurš, astoņus gadus dienējis Speciālo operāciju vienībā, piepeši saprot, ka tā nav bijusi viņa dzīve. Grāmatā aprakstīto notikumu intrigu saasina seno maiju noslēpumaino bagātību atgriešanās no pagātnes mūsdienās. Meklējot savas pagātnes fragmentus, kapteiņa Bjūkenana ceļi krustojas ar narkotiku tirgotājiem, nelegāliem naftas ieguvējiem, cilvēkiem, kuriem šķiet, ka mērķis attaisno jebkurus līdzekļus. Populārā amerikāņu rakstnieka Deivida Morela jaunais romāns sniedz lielisku iespēju viņa tafanta cienītājiem nok|ūt Speciālo operāciju vienības aģenta pasaulē, kur valda ne tikai veiksme, prāta asums un izveicība. Viņa darbs prasa nežēlīgu atteikšanos no savām interesēm, personiskās dzīves, pat jūtām. Šis cilvēks ir ieguvis Viktora Granta, Pītera Langa, Džima Kroforda un vēl desmitiem citu personu identitātes, līdz kļuvis PATS SEV SVEŠINIEKS Varbūt kapteinis Bjūkenans neapzināti pats vēlējies aizbēgt no savas būtības, bet nav taču nekā, kas spētu to aizstāt. Viņam nav pagātnes un, izrādās, arī par tiesībām uz nākotni ir jācīnās, jo tie, kas zina vai vēlas zināt pārāk daudz, dažiem šķiet nevēlami. Atšķirībā no citiem asa sižeta romānu meistariem, kuri veikli veido negaidītu notikumu tīklu, Deivids Morels uzmanību pievērš arī savu varoņu raksturu iezīmēšanai. Rakstnieks pierāda, ka galvenais intrigas radītājs ir nevis notikums, bet gan cilvēka rīcība tajā.

Set in August and September 2002, the story follows Cayce Pollard, a 32-year-old marketing consultant who has a psychological sensitivity to corporate symbols. The action takes place in London, Tokyo, and Moscow as Cayce judges the effectiveness of a proposed corporate symbol and is hired to seek the creators of film clips anonymously posted to the internet. The novel's central theme involves the examination of the human desire to detect patterns or meaning and the risks of finding patterns in meaningless data. Other themes include methods of interpretation of history, cultural familiarity with brand names, and tensions between art and commercialization. The September 11, 2001 attacks are used as a motif representing the transition to the new century. Critics identify influences in Pattern Recognition from Thomas Pynchon's post-structuralist detective story The Crying of Lot 49. The novel is Gibson's eighth and the first to be set in the contemporary world. Like his previous work, it has been classified as a science fiction and postmodern novel, with the action unfolding along a thriller plot line. Critics approved of the writing but found the plot unoriginal and some of the language distracting. The book peaked at #4 on the New York Times Best Seller list, was nominated for the 2003 British Science Fiction Association Award, and was shortlisted for the 2004 Arthur C. Clarke and Locus Awards
