Triple Detente
by Piers AnthonyIt was the dictum of the Conqueror that the population of the planet must be halved. Control of live births and encouragement of suicides would have only a limited effect...
The Triple Man
by R L FanthorpePsychology recognises the existence of multiple personalities inhabiting the same mind. To the ancients such strange transformations were evidence of demonic possession, and even today there are reputable experts who would not rule out the possibility that something else can take over a human mind. To the victim of such personality change there are long periods for which the memory cannot account, periods during which the secret enemy is in charge. Walter Hamilton was a perfectly normal, well-adjusted man in early middle age when strange gaps in his memory first began to worry him. At first he tried to ignore the tell-tale symptoms of schizophrenia but other clues presented themselves. The face in the crowd scene on a telerecorded film vaguely familiar. It wasn't his fave... but there were undeniable similarities. A picture in a newspaper worried him more... Before he could extricate himself he was trapped in a tangled web of interwoven personalities, unable to find himself, powerless to break away from the sinister complications of his two other lives.

Triplet
by Timothy ZahnThe world was a mass of garish color, surrounding him like splotches of light thrown into a whirlpool. The faint background haze of plant life, the brighter and more localized bits that were animals and insects, the almost painful shining that bespoke a member of humankind--it was a far cry from the grays and blacks of his proper abode. Astaroth hated it all. He hated the humans most, of course, but none of it totally escaped his resentment.

Tripletta di Mezzanotte: Tre Agghiaccianti Novelle Canadesi
by Steve VernonMi piace un buon romanzo. È come un bel pugno secco nell’addome. Dato per bene - ha un impatto! "Una straordinaria morte improvvisa" è stato originariamente pubblicato come una novella a sé. Volevo scrivere un film di serie B - ma ero troppo pigro per imparare a scrivere una sceneggiatura - così ho deciso di scrivere qualcosa che avrebbe divertito sia i lettori che me stesso - tanto quanto un buon film di mostri di serie B - come "Tremors" o "Ragazzi perduti" o "Fright Night-Il vampiro della porta" accanto o "30 giorni di buio". Sono stato a lungo affascinato nel vedere come la gente comune si comporta di fronte al male. Questi sono i miei personaggi preferiti – persone semplici, comuni. Mi piace immaginarle coraggiose e romantiche e selvagge e piena di vita - perché tutti abbiamo questo potenziale sepolto dentro di noi in profondità. Così - quando mi sono seduto a scrivere "Un straordinaria morte improvvisa" ho preso le persone più difficili che avessi mai immaginato e le ho gettate contro le forze delle tenebre. "Hammurabi Road" è stato originariamente pubblicato nel 2007 come la seconda novella di una raccolta di due novelle intitolata HARD ROADS - pubblicata da Gray Friar Press. La storia è il mio modo di rivisitare la mia casa d'infanzia di Capreol, Ontario - una piccola città ferroviaria dove sono cresciuto. L'ultima novella - "Non una storia di fantasmi qualunque" non è mai stato pubblicato prima. Spero che questi racconti vi piacciano quanto mi sono divertito a scriverli.

Tristan Strong Destroys The World (Tristan Strong)
by Kwame MbaliaBestselling author Rick Riordan presents the second book in the New York Times best-selling and award-winning Tristan Strong trilogy by Kwame Mbalia. "Mbalia's universe continues to excite through sheer conceptual brilliance, nonstop action and adventure, and--let's be honest--the comical aggression of sidekick god Gum Baby."--Booklist Tristan Strong, just back from a victorious but exhausting adventure in Alke, the land of African American folk heroes and African gods, is suffering from PTSD. But there's no rest for the weary when his grandmother is abducted by a mysterious villain out for revenge.

Anansi, now a "web developer" in Tristan's phone, is close at hand to offer advice, and several new folk heroes will aid Tristan in his quest, but he will only succeed if he can figure out a way to sew broken souls back together. *"Well-paced--just like the previous installment--this sequel focuses on themes such as the meaning of diaspora and the effects of trauma, making for a more nuanced and stronger story than the first. Packs a punch."--Kirkus (starred review) While perfect for middle schoolers, this book has enough depth to be enjoyed by older readers, too.
