Rick Dockery was the third-string quarterback for the Cleveland Browns. In the AFC Championship game against Denver, to the surprise and dismay of virtually everyone, Rick actually got into the game. With a 17-point lead and just minutes to go, Rick provided what was arguably the worst single performance in the history of the NFL. Overnight, he became a national laughingstock and, of course, was immediately cut by the Browns and shunned by all other teams. But all Rick knows is football, and he insists that his agent, Arnie, find a team that needs him. Against enormous odds Arnie finally locates just such a team and informs Rick that, miraculously, he can in fact now be a starting quarterback-for the mighty Panthers of Parma, Italy. Yes, Italians do play American football, to one degree or another, and the Parma Panthers desperately want a former NFL player-any former NFL player-at their helm. So Rick reluctantly agrees to play for the Panthers-at least until a better offer comes along-and heads off to Italy. He knows nothing about Parma, has never been to Europe, and doesn''t speak or understand a word of Italian. To say that Italy holds a few surprises for Rick Dockery would be something of an understatement.

During a war between two planets in the same solar system - each occupied by adapted humans - what is thought to be a cosmic superstring is discovered. After being cut, this object collapses into four cylindrical pieces, each about the size of a tube train. Each is densely packed with either alien technology or some kind of life. They are placed for safety in three ozark cylinders of a massively secure space station. There a female research scientist subsequently falls pregnant, and gives birth to quads. Then she commits suicide - but why? By the end of the war one of the contesting planets has been devastated by the hilldiggers - giant space dreadnoughts employing weapons capable of creating mountain ranges. The quads have meanwhile grown up and are assuming positions of power in the post-war society. One of them will eventually gain control of the awesome hilldiggers.

Set in Tehran during the aftermath of the 1979 revolution, this understated, beautifully told literary debut follows the Amin family as they cope with their fathers false imprisonment for spying.

Dirty work in the Fourth Dimension was the cause of all the trouble. Somebody slipped up badly, the wires became crossed and an ''identity-switch'' resulted.El juego sucio en la Cuarta Dimensión fue la causa de todos los problemas. Alguien se deslizo de mala manera, los cables se cruzaron y el resultado fue un ''intercambio de identidades''.

Linwood BarclayWhen the Cutter family's next-door-neighbours, the Langleys, are gunned down in their house one hot August night, the Cutters' world is turned upside down. That violent death should have come so close to them is shocking enough in suburban Promise Falls, but at least the Cutters can console themselves with the thought that lightning is unlikely to strike twice in the same place. Unless, of course, the killers went to the wrong house At first the idea seems crazy. But gradually we discover that each of the Cutter family has a secret they'd rather keep buried. What was on that old computer teenage Derek and his friend Adam Langley had salvaged? And where is it now? What hold does a local professor and bestselling author have on Eileen Cutter? And what does Jim Cutter know about Mrs Langley that even her husband didn't? To find out who killed the Langleys and why, everybody's secrets are going to have to come out. But the final secret - the secret that could save them or destroy them - is in the one place nobody would ever think of looking...

A father and his son walk alone through burned America, heading through the ravaged landscape to the coast. This is the profoundly moving story of their journey. "The Road" boldly imagines a future in which no hope remains, but in which two people, 'each the other's world entire', are sustained by love. Awesome in the totality of its vision, it is an unflinching meditation on the worst and the best that we are capable of: ultimate destructiveness, desperate tenacity, and the tenderness that keeps two people alive in the face of total devastation. 'The first great masterpiece of the globally warmed generation. Here is an American classic which, at a stroke, makes McCarthy a contender for the Nobel Prize for Literature ...

Published to coincide with the launch of Ron Howard's blockbuster film, and following on from the huge success of the eponymous West End and Broadway play, "Frost/Nixon" tells the extraordinary story of how David Frost pursued and landed the biggest fish of his career. When he first conceived the idea of interviewing Richard Nixon and trying to bring the ex-President to confront his past, he was told on all sides that the project would never get off the ground. Yet in the end he succeeded, and the resulting television series drew larger audiences than any news program ever had in the United States, before being shown all over the world.Including hilarious tales of the people Frost encountered along the way and fascinating insights into the making of the series itself, this book provides an account of the only public trial that Nixon would ever have, and a revelation of the man's character as it appeared in the stress of twelve grueling sessions before the cameras.Fully revised and updated with historical perspective, and including transcripts of the edited interviews, "Frost/Nixon" describes David Frost's quest to produce one of the most dramatic pieces of television ever broadcast.

Love hurts ...Sometimes it even kills. It''s like any other day in New York for freelance writer Ridley Jones. She collects some prints from her local photo lab expecting nothing more than a set of routine photographs. But when she looks more closely a shadowy figure of a man appears in almost every picture she''s taken in the last year, just far enough away to make identification impossible. When she investigates further she soon discovers that everyone from the FBI to the criminal underworld wants to know who the man is - and where he is. And some people are prepared to kill to find out.

Jan Fabel thought he was finished with death. Instead, while he is preparing for a new career outside the police, a Cologne murder detective asks for his help in tracking down the Carnival Cannibal, a terrifying serial killer who has killed each year for three years at the start of Cologne's world-famous annual Carnival.

They were like a band of brothers ...In 1983 Andy McNab was assigned to B Squadron, one of the four Sabre Squadrons of the SAS, and within it to Air Troop, otherwise known as Seven Troop. This is Andy McNab's gripping account of the time he served in the company of a remarkable group of men - from the day, freshly badged, he joined them in the Malayan jungle, to the day, ten years later, that he handed in his sand-coloured beret and started a new life. The links they forged then bound them inextricably together, but the things they saw and did during that time would take them all to breaking point - and some beyond - in the years that were to follow. He who dares doesn't always win.

La narratrice, Élisabeth, journaliste à Libération, fait le portrait de trois hommes dont elle a été proche, et à travers eux d'une époque : celle de la fin des années 1980 jusqu'à aujourd'hui, principalement dans le milieu des militants de la cause homosexuelle et le Tout-Paris intellectuel. Au centre du roman, Willie Miller, sorte de Rimbaud post punk qui débarque à Paris en 1989. Semi-clochard, il rencontre Dominique Rossi, ancien gauchiste, un des fondateurs historiques d'Act Up. Tout semble opposer les deux hommes. Dominique est réfléchi, très politisé, issu d'un milieu bourgeois. Willie vient d'une famille de prolétaires juifs, il est désaxé, excessif, un brin pervers, violent et charmeur. Dominique, plus âgé et plus cultivé, éduque Willie, l'introduit dans le milieu homosexuel parisien, dont le jeune homme va vite devenir la coqueluche. Toujours à vif, Willie a un sens aigu de la médiatisation et du scandale, ses outrances choquent et amusent, il passe à la télévision, milite contre le safe sex... Le troisième homme du roman, Leibovitz, est un intellectuel médiatique qui passera progressivement d'un gauchisme pontifiant à une droite radoteuse. À travers eux, nous assistons à la naissance, joyeuse, et à la fin, malade, d'une période décisive dans l'histoire récente de la sexualité et de la politique en Occident.

This killer dreams in shades of death. In each of her New York Times bestselling novels, critically acclaimed author Kay Hooper has led readers to unforgettably chilling encounters with fear and evil. Now, in her latest thriller, she takes us on a terrifying manhunt for a serial killer no ordinary cops can stopa psychopath who seems to step out of a living nightmare. Hes the kind of killer we instinctively fear the most. A killer without boundaries, without conscience, without any fear of being caught. And his latest victim is terrifying proof that no one is safe: the daughter of a powerful U.S. senator. Now, with the national media calling for justice and a grief-stricken father seeking vengeance, Bishop and his FBI Special Crimes Unit find themselves in a unique situation. This time even psychic cops arent enough to stop evil. Aid comes in the form of a fledgling civilian organization of unorthodox crime stoppers. Operating outside of any government oversight, without sanction or official authority, they are comprised of a membership every bit as talented and eccentric as Bishops SCUif not more so. And that is no coincidence. For Bishop helped launch this organization barely two years before. Dani Justice knows all about monsters. They haunt her nightmaresand her life. But she never expected to find herself doggedly on the trail of a real flesh-and-blood predator so cunning, hes eluded the best law enforcement could send up against him; so deadly, he doesnt hesitate to kill even a senators daughter. Or a cop. Dani doesnt want to hunt this killer. She doesntwant to risk the life shes made for herself, or her hard-won peace. But she doesnt have a choice. Because his bloody rampage has hit far too close to home. Because Dani alone commands a weapon powerful enough to destroy him. And because Dani knows something even Bishop doesnt. Dani knows how the hunt ends. It ends in fire. And blood. And death. What she doesnt know is who will survive.
