In 1960s America, four young boys go on a journey to search for the body of a boy killed by a train. As they travel, they discover how cruel the world can be, but also how wondrous.

This book answers the question: 'What's next?' The Internet had a world-changing impact on businesses and the global community over the twenty years from 1994 to 2014. In the next ten years, change will happen even faster. As Hillary Clinton's Senior Advisor for Innovation, Alec Ross travelled nearly a million miles to forty-one countries, the equivalent of two round-trips to the moon. From refugee camps in the Congo and Syrian war zones, to visiting the world's most powerful people in business and government, Ross's travels amounted to a four-year masterclass in the changing nature of innovation. In The Industries of the Future, Ross distils his observations on the forces that are changing the world. He highlights the best opportunities for progress and explains how countries thrive or sputter. Ross examines the specific fields that will most shape our economic future over the next ten years, including robotics, artificial intelligence, the commercialization of genomics, cybercrime and the impact of digital technology. Blending storytelling and economic analysis, he answers questions on how we will need to adapt. Ross gives readers a vivid and informed perspective on how sweeping global trends are affecting the ways we live, now and tomorrow.

James Frey wakes up on a plane, with no memory of the preceding two weeks. His face is cut and his body is covered with bruises. He has no wallet and no idea of his destination. He has abused alcohol and every drug he can lay his hands on for a decade - and he is aged only twenty-three. What happens next is one of the most powerful and extreme stories ever told. His family takes him to a rehabilitation centre. And James Frey starts his perilous journey back to the world of the drug and alcohol-free living. His lack of self-pity is unflinching and searing. A Million Little Pieces is a dazzling account of a life destroyed and a life reconstructed. It is also the introduction of a bold and talented literary voice.

El detective de la policía Harry Lion es un perfeccionista al que le agradan los trajes impecablemente cortados, su piso inmaculadamente limpio y sus casos de homicidio extremadamente claros, pero Connie Gulliver, su compañera, le convida a abrazar el caos: una extraña profecia le anuncia su propia muerte y una pesadilla surreal viene a sustituir el antiguo orden por un acoso de extrañas sorpresas y peligros inimaginables. Un viento de terror lo envuelve y se comunica al lector, a quien Dean Koontz, el maestro indiscutido en estos temas, lleva por senderos de emoción insuperable.

Una resbaladiza carretera de montaña en plena noche; un camión mal situado, un patinazo y una caída hacia las heladas aguas del río que corre más abajo. Hatch y Lindsey no podían haber imaginado nada peor para el fin de semana que habían decidido dedicar a replantear su matrimonio, en crisis desde la muerte de su único hijo. Cuando todo parece perdido, los rescatan. Hatch está muerto; Lindsey aterida y confusa. Los trasladan al hospital del doctor Nyebern, un experto en reanimación. El doctor, mediante un revolucionario sistema de reciclado de sangre, consigue devolver a Hatch a la vida. Así se convierte en uno de los pocos afortunados que ha traspasado el umbral que separa la vida y la muerte en los dos sentidos. Pero alguien más cruzó el umbral cuando el doctor reanimó a Hatch, alguien procedente del tenebroso más allá. Dean R.Koontz vuelve a recorrer esa ambigua frontera que separa vida y muerte, mal absoluto y amor redentor.

L'errore di un computer, l'incoscienza di pochi uomini e si scatena la fine del mondo. Il morbo sfuggito a un segretissimo laboratorio semina morte e terrore. Il novantanove per cento della popolazione della terra non sopravvive all'apocalittica epidemia e per i pochi scampati c'è una guerra ancora tutta da combattere, una lotta eterna e fatale tra chi ha deciso di seguire il bene e appoggiarsi alle fragili spalle di Mother Abagail, la veggente ultracentenaria, e chi invece ha scelto di calcare le orme di Randall, il Senza Volto, il Male, il Signore delle Tenebre.
