Dei dello Spazio Divino I: Le follie di Abraham

by Martin Lundqvist

In un remoto futuro, abbastanza lontano perché ogni cosa sia concepibile, un uomo assurdamente ricco e demente senile, il cattivo Abraham Goldstein, é convinto da un furbo scienzato, Jack Brown, a finanziare un impossibile progetto ¨segreto¨per andare in Paradiso ed incontrare Dio! Contro ogni logica la macchina alla fine funziona veramente ed Abraham scopre che Dio é morto, e che Yahweh nella sua lettera d´addio é stato abbastanza gentile da lasciare i disegni per fabbricare un chip per controllare le menti che lui aveva usato per convincere gli umani dell´Etá del Bronzo che lui era Dio. Con questi disegni, Abraham, si butta in un nuovo progetto: creare un mondo dell´Etá del Bronzo artificiale, dove lui possa essere ¨Dio¨per i suoi abitanti. Lungo il percorso dovrá affrontare scenari molto divertenti, come un problema con il Sindacato dei suoi Scagnozzi, errori sfortunati col calendario, super armi orbitali malfunzionanti ecc. Abraham continua ad incasinare tutto a causa della demenza senile,della cattiveria, di sgherri incompetenti e di una stupiditá generalizzata, fino a che una donna malata di mente appare dal nulla e mette fine alle follie di Abraham!

Deja New

by Maryjanice Davidson

The New York Times bestselling author of the Undead Novels takes on reincarnation in this unforgettable Insighter Novel about the pitfalls in past—and love—lives…Leah Nazir lives in a world where the past can and will come back to bite you in the ass. No, not teething ghosts—reincarnation! As an Insighter, it’s Leah’s job to delve into the murky and (often) deadly former lives of her patients. And she knows a thing or two about danger after killing her mother’s murderer with the help of new beau, Archer Drake. Isn’t he the best? Now, it’s time to take their relationship to the next level, but not in any way Leah could have predicted.

When someone tries to sabotage their investigation, Leah must decide if the Drake family past is a deal breaker…

Deja Who

by Maryjanice Davidson

From the author of the New York Times bestselling Undead novels comes a delightfully addictive new series about past lives and bad habits--and one woman paranormally predisposed to getting at the bottom of both. It's her job. You couldn't arrest for murder someone who had killed in his last life. You couldn't bring a civil suit against such people, either. They could only be legally penalized for what they did this time around--and what a dark circus the legal system had been before that legislation passed! (It was still a dark circus, but perhaps not as dark.) But you could spot them, and watch them. You could set traps for them. Leah Nazir is an Insighter. Reincarnation is her business. But while her clients' pasts are a mess, Leah's is nothing short of tragedy. She's been murdered. A lot. If left to that bitch, destiny, it'll happen again. Leah wants to know who's been following her through time, and who's been stalking her in the present... P.I. Archer Drake has been hired by Leah's mother to keep an eye on her. But the more time he spends watching, the more he finds himself infatuated. Before long, he even finds himself agreeing to help find the person who wants her dead. Over and over again. Now going full-on "rewind," Leah hopes it can stave off the inevitable. After all, she's grown fond of this life--and even fonder of nerdy Archer. But changing her pattern means finding out who her killer is today. And as Leah fears, that could be anyone she has come to know and trust. Anyone.From the Trade Paperback edition.

by Enrique Pinti

Pinti recorre momentos de la historia argentina que revive en estelibro, a partir de terribles pesadillas que lo aquejan por las noches. «Era increíble. Mis pesadillas en la Primaria y la Secundaria deberíanhaber sido las matemáticas, la física... pero no. Curiosamente o no,según como se mire, mis pesadillas eran con una querida materia quemuchos odiaban y yo idolatraba: la vieja y peluda Historia Argentina. ¿Quiere saber por qué? Dele, si no tiene nada mejor que hacer, avance enla lectura del thriller que Hitchcock y Agatha Christie no se atrevierona plantear: La Historia Argentina...la de mis pesadillas. Y que lesquede claro, por favor, no hay intención alguna de faltarle el respeto aningún prócer ni principio fundamental de la Nación... Pero laspesadillas son así: irreprimibles, desordenadas e indomables, como loschicos y los locos, que (suele sostener la creencia popular) son losúnicos que dicen la verdad, aunque sean políticamente incorrectos. ¡Ahy, por favor, no cuenten el final!».Enrique PintiCon estas palabras Pinti abre este desopilante libro ilustrado por elgenial Alfredo Sábat que se transformó rápidamente en uno de sus tantosbest sellers. Su relanzamiento se debe a que este texto nunca dejó detener una suma actualidad, por la forma en que repasa nuestro pasadoargentino.
