La vita a terra (Terra e stelle #2)
by Kevin KillianyI ribelli stanno a terra. “La vita a terra è pieno zeppo di personaggi indimenticabili e affascinante prosa che fanno pensare ai principali romanzi di formazione come The Dark Beyond the Stars e The Testament of Jessie Lamb, e del genere di narrazione in prima persona piena di tecnologia che farebbe sorridere Andy Weir”. ~ Dayton Ward, autore bestseller NYT, “Star Trek: Headlong Flight” Sessant’anni fa fu creato il Servizio Spaziale degli Stati Uniti, con l’incarico di proteggere la ricchezza e la conoscenza potenzialmente illimitate dello spazio a beneficio dell’intera umanità. Guardiano della tecnologia di fusione e di tutto ciò che è al di sopra dell’atmosfera, il Servizio Spaziale controlla il flusso di persone, materiali e informazioni tra la Terra e le stazioni spaziali, la Luna e Marte. Chiunque sia nello spazio è vincolato al Servizio Spaziale, e tutti gli spaziali appartengono all’élite razziale imposta dal Servizio. Il Servizio Spaziale possiede le stelle… e non intende condividerle. La diciassettenne Mara Duval, nata nello spazio, era destinata a far parte della prima missione dell’umanità verso le lune di Giove, finché un incidente medico non l’ha lasciata in quarantena a terra per sempre. Ma terra non è la devastata desolazione che le era stato insegnato a credere, e il Servizio Spaziale sta tenendo in ostaggio il futuro dell’umanità dietro un muro di bugie. Ora Mara sta contrattaccando, trasmettendo video della verità ai suoi amici nello spazio, facendosi sentire ogni volta che può, e condividendo tecnologia e segreti con la sua alleata terricola Jael Alden, una giovane visionaria decisa a sfondare la barriera razziale del Servizio Spaziale. Sa di non avere molto tempo prima che il Servizio Spaziale si renda conto di quello che sta facendo e la fermi. Ma fino ad allora, Mara intende ricavare il meglio dalla sua vita a terra. “La
La voce delle Sirene - I racconti di Skylge 1
by Jen Minkman Valeria PoropatUn'antica terra protetta da una Torre di Luce, un popolo ammaliato dal canto delle Sirene, e una ragazza che si innamora del ragazzo sbagliato. Sull'isola di Skylge l'elettricità è riservata ai Correnti, la ricca classe dirigente che è venuta dal mare e portato il Sacro Fuoco di San Brandano su Skylge. Da allora, la luce della Torre Brandaris ha protetto gli isolani. Con il loro canto, le Sirene attirano le persone in mare e rubano loro l'anima ma la luce sacra della Torre respinge il popolo del mare. Quando Enna, una ragazza Skylger, accoglie suo fratello di ritorno da un lungo viaggio in mare riceve un regalo speciale dalla terraferma: un disco di musica che può essere ascoltato solo con un dispositivo dei Correnti. Il problema è che Royce Bolton, rampollo Corrente e pianista più bravo dell'isola, vuole il disco. Dopo che Enna si rifiuta testardamente di vendergli l'LP, lui suggerisce di condividerlo incontrandosi di nascosto nel suo cottage. Sorpresa e insieme intrigata, Enna acconsente e scopre che c'è molto più di quello che si vede nella società Corrente e nella storia di Skylge. Perché le Sirene attirano gli isolani in mare? E da dove proviene realmente il monopolio sull'elettricità dei Correnti? Mentre combatte con queste domande, Enna comincia a innamorarsi di Royce, rischiando tutto pur di stare con un ragazzo che è palesemente fuori dalla sua portata. Imparerà che il canto delle Sirene non è il pericolo più grande.
La volta al món en 80 dies
by Lewis YorkUn text de ritme àgil, gairebé frenètic, i carregat de matisos i de girs argumentals que oferim sintetitzat per Lewis York sobre un suport de luxe: les magnífiques il·lustracions creades per a la ocasió per Ian Cassalucci. La Terra sempre ha tingut més o menys el mateix volum, però els mitjans de transport, cada vegada més ràpids, aconsegueixen que sembli més petita i fàcil de recórrer. Fa 136 anys, fer la volta al món en 80 dies semblava impossible. Però sempre hi ha gent intrèpida amb ganes de superar reptes, com en Phileas Fogg, el protagonista d'aquesta cronometrada obra de Jules Verne. En Fogg, acompanyat del seu fidel majordom Jean Passepartout, ens demostra que si tenim confiança en nosaltres mateixos sempre trobarem el camí. I també que, fins i tot si fracassem, sempre podem aprendre una lliçó positiva. Un clàssic que, ara més que mai, ve de gust revisar, perquè sempre permet noves lectures i noves imatges com aquestes dotze meravelloses il·lustracions a doble pàgina de tècnica mixta: tinta xinesa i aquarel·la.
