![]() ![]() Author: Simmons Dan Publisher: Mondadori XXXI secolo. Da trecento anni la rete del teleporter che permetteva i viaggi istantanei attraverso la galassia è stata distrutta, e con essa è finita l'Egemonia dell'Uomo. La Chiesa dei cristiani rinati ha scoperto il sistema per controllare la resurrezione e ottenere l'immortalità e domina, con metodi da Inquisizione medievale, l'intero universo. Chi non si converte è destinato a morire. In questo complesso scenario si trova a vivere Raul Endymion, rinchiuso in una prigione-asteroide. A salvarlo dall'esecuzione arriva però Martin Sileno, uno dei sette pellegrini di Hyperion, che gli propone di aiutarlo a salvare la nipote adottiva, Aenea, dotata di poteri messianici, dalle legioni papali. Insieme a lei Endymion si troverà a compiere un viaggio attraverso miriadi di pianeti, scoprendo infine il ruolo cruciale suo e di Aenea nella lotta globale tra lo Shrike, la Chiesa, le intelligenze artificiali del TecnoNucleo decise a cancellare per sempre la storia dell'umanità. Questo volume raccoglie i romanzi 'Endymion' e 'Il risveglio di Endymion'. € 26,00

![]() ![]() Author: Simmons Dan Publisher: Mondadori XXVIII secolo, l'umanità si è espansa in tutta la galassia che percorre in viaggi istantanei attraverso i portali e le singolarità; tutto ciò però ha causato la distruzione della Terra. In questo scenario, sul pianeta Hyperion, stanno per aprirsi le Tombe del Tempo, misteriosi manufatti provenienti dal futuro nei quali il tempo scorre all'inverso e presso cui abita lo Shrike, mostruosa e terrificante creatura semidivina non soggetta alle leggi fisiche. Verso quel luogo tremendo si stanno dirigendo sette pellegrini, sette personaggi in cerca di risposte. Lungo la strada, come succedeva nei tempi antichi, essi narrano delle storie, le loro storie. E forse proprio in quei racconti si cela la chiave della salvezza per l'universo. Questo volume raccoglie i romanzi 'Hyperion' e 'La caduta di Hyperion'. € 26,00

![]() ![]() Author: Simmons Dan Publisher: Mondadori Il 19 maggio 1845, l'Erebus e la Terror, due velieri agli ordini di Sir John Franklin e di Francis Crozier, salpano dall'Inghilterra alla ricerca del leggendario Passaggio a Nordovest; verranno ritrovati anni dopo intrappolati nel ghiaccio artico. Sulla base di un documentato episodio storico, Simmons racconta un'allucinante avventura: gli equipaggi delle due navi, bloccati nella morsa del freddo e sprofondati nel silenzio spezzato solo dagli scricchiolii del ghiaccio e dalle tempeste di fulmini, si ritrovano a lottare contro gli elementi, ma anche contro la disperazione e la follia. Quando, alla vigilia del terzo inverno sulla banchisa, Crozier prende il comando della spedizione, la situazione è prossima al disastro: le provviste scarseggiano e lo scorbuto miete vittime. Tra ammutinamenti, crisi ed episodi di cannibalismo, l'isolamento non sembra però la minaccia peggiore. Mentre una giovane esquimese muta, soprannominata Lady Silence, si muove indisturbata sulla Terror e svanisce per giorni, insensibile a freddo e fame, una creatura sconosciuta sembra fare la sua apparizione intorno alle navi: intelligente e malevola, si aggira tra i ghiacci e dà la caccia agli uomini dell'equipaggio, uccidendoli a uno a uno... € 17,00

![]() ![]() Author: Simmons Dan Publisher: Fanucci Primo volume del ciclo ''I Canti di Hyperion''. Nel 2700 gli esseri umani, grazie allo sviluppo della tecnologia dei teleporter, si spostano istantaneamente nella galassia, ma un terribile esperimento, il Grande Errore, ha causato la distruzione della Terra e la diaspora dell'uomo nello spazio, dando vita così a una nuova federazione che unisce tutti i mondi abitati: l'Egemonia dell'Uomo. Alla vigilia dell'Armageddon, sette pellegrini affrontano un ultimo viaggio verso Hyperion, in cerca delle risposte agli enigmi della loro vita. Ognuno di loro deve raccontare agli altri la propria storia, per farsi conoscere e dimostrare di non essere una spia. I racconti dei sette ruotano intorno ai mondi e alle difficoltà che circondano lo spazio: dalla minaccia degli Ouster, discendenti dei primi coloni che fanno a meno della tecnologia, al ruolo della Chiesa Shrike, temuta da tutti. E in questi racconti, di una bellezza sfolgorante, sta la chiave che permetterebbe loro di salvare l'umanità. € 9,90

Ex-PI Joe Kurtz's survival is on the line when an ambush leaves him badly wounded and his parole officer, Peg O'Toole, clinging to life. Their respective professions have ensured that neither suffers from a shortage of enemies, so narrowing down the suspects isn't easy. But Kurtz knows who's at the head of his list: Angelina Farino Ferrara, the lethal beauty who leads the Farino crime family, and her mob rival, Toma Gonzaga. The odd thing is, each would rather hire Joe Kurtz than fire at him. Someone's causing trouble beneath the gray skies of western New York, and it's drawn the notice of the mobsand the cops. Kurtz is caught in the middle along with the rest of them, and no one knows who's tightening the vise. € 15,30

![]() ![]() Author: Simmons Dana Publisher: Univ of Chicago Pr What constitutes a need? Who gets to decide what people do or do not need? In modern France, scientists, both amateur and professional, were engaged in defining and measuring human needs. These scientists did not trust in a providential economy to distribute the fruits of labor and uphold the social order. Rather, they believed that social organization should be actively directed according to scientific principles. They grounded their study of human needs on quantifiable foundations: agricultural and physiological experiments, demographic studies, and statistics. The result was the concept of the 'vital minimum'--the living wage, a measure of physical and social needs. In this book, Dana Simmons traces the history of this concept, revealing the intersections between technologies of measurement, such as calorimeters and social surveys, and technologies of wages and welfare, such as minimum wages, poor aid, and welfare programs. In looking at how we define and measure need, Vital Minimum raises profound questions about the authority of nature and the nature of inequality. € 47,80

![]() ![]() Author: Simmons Dan Publisher: Mulholland Books Revenge has never been served so cold. Joe Kurtz, former investigator and convicted felon, is on parole. But the years he spent in Attica didn't make his old haunts any safer. Back on the streets of Buffalo, he's already marked by a local Mafia don. As if watching his back weren't enough work, Kurtz has also been hired by a gravely ill John Frears, whose daughter met a grisly fate at the hands of a murderer.

But the calculating killer--a master at changing identities--has a little unfinished business of his own. Dodging a contract on his head and tracking a serial killer on the loose, Kurtz plunges headfirst into the icy waters of revenge as both victim and avenger. € 14,30

![]() ![]() Author: Simmons Dan, Miller Dan John (NRT) Publisher: Brilliance Audio It’s the summer of 1960 and in the small town of Elm Haven, Illinois, five twelve-year-old boys are forging the powerful bonds that a lifetime of change will not break. From sunset bike rides to shaded hiding places in the woods, the boys’ days are marked by all of the secrets and silences of an idyllic childhood. But amid the sun-drenched cornfields, their loyalty will be pitilessly tested. When a long-silent bell peals in the middle of the night, the townsfolk know it marks the end of their carefree days. From the depths of the Old Central School, a hulking fortress tinged with the mahogany scent of coffins, an invisible evil is rising. Strange and horrifying events begin to overtake everyday life, spreading terror through the once-peaceful town. Determined to exorcize this ancient plague, Mike, Duane, Dale, Harlen, and Kevin must wage a war of blood—against an arcane abomination who owns the night.… “It stands with the best of King and Straub in the traditional modern horror genre.” —Seattle Post-Intelligencer “Impressive…combines beautiful writing and suspense into a book for which Dan Simmons deserves the bestseller status of King and Koontz.” —The Denver Post “One can only wonder what Simmons will do next, now that he’s shown us he can do everything the best writers in horror and science fiction can do.” —The Philadelphia Inquirer € 12,90

![]() ![]() Author: Simmons Dan, Pittu David (NRT) Publisher: Hachette Audio In 1893, Sherlock Holmes and Henry James come to America together to solve the mystery of the 1885 death of Clover Adams, wife of the esteemed historian Henry Adams--member of the Adams family that has given the United States two Presidents. Clover's suicide appears to be more than it at first seemed; the suspected foul play may involve matters of national importance. Holmes is currently on his Great Hiatus--his three-year absence after Reichenbach Falls during which time the people of London believe him to be deceased. Holmes has faked his own death because, through his powers of ratiocination, the great detective has come to the conclusion that he is a fictional character. This leads to serious complications for James--for if his esteemed fellow investigator is merely a work of fiction, what does that makehim? And what can the master storyteller do to fight against the sinister power -- possibly named Moriarty -- that may or may not be controlling them from the shadows? € 36,10
