El Hombre creía haber hallado la inmortalidad. La Ciencia así lo afirmaba; sólo era necesario situarse en el Tiempo y el Espacio precisos.Pero la realidad se impuso : Dejad que los hombres puedan morir y exista la esperanza de una vida sobrenatural.<

Mēģiniet šodien atrast kaut ko aizraujošāku par astronomijas atklājumiem. Tie seko cits citam un ir viens par otru sensacionālāki.

Astronomija ir kļuvusi aktuāla. Bet tikai pirms 20 gadiem tā skolās bija fakultatīvs priekšmets.

Toties pirms 300 gadiem, nezinādami astronomiju, jūs riskējāt nesaprast pat parastu labāko aprindu sarunu. Tik |oti šī saruna bija piesātināta ne vien ar senās zinātnes terminiem, bet arī ar tās inte­resēm.

Vel divus gadsimtus agrāk aizraušanās ar zvaig­znēm jums varēja beigties ar … sārtu.

Sī ir grāmata par astronomiju un nedaudz par astronautiku, par labiem astronomiem un dažiem astronomijas instrumentiem un metodēm. Vārdu sa­kot, par nelielu apgabalu gigantiskā zemē, kuras nosaukuma pamatā ir sengrieķu vārds «acrnip» — zvaigzne.

El rey Dramocles de Glorm, que lleva treinta años gobernando su planeta en paz y aburrimiento, descubre de pronto, gracias a la visita de una Recordadora, que tiene un destino ante él. La persecución de este destino lo pondrán en contacto con una computadora que fue amiga y asociada de Isaac Newton, un hijo que le odia, una hija que le ama pero que le traiciona, los prolegómenos de una guerra interplanetaria, unos reyes que se unen contra él, un culto esotérico, y un rey padre muerto hace treinta años que vuelve en busca de la inmortalidad...<

Stephen Villani is the acting head of the Victoria Police homicide squad. But his first months on the job have not gone well: two Aboriginal teenagers shot dead in a botched operation he authorised in the provincial city of Cromarty; and, no progress on the killing of a man in front of his daughter outside a private girls' school. Now five men are found dead in horrifying circumstances on the outskirts of the city. Villani' superiors and the media are baying for arrests. To add to his woes, some of the country's richest people are alarmed by the baffling killing of a young woman in the high-security tower where they live. Villani, a man who has built his life around his work, begins to find the certainties of both crumbling. As the pressure mounts, he finds that he must contemplate things formerly unthinkable. "Truth" is a novel about murder, corruption, family, friends, honour, honesty, deceit, love, betrayal and truth.<

Dagger Awards Best Novel

Broken by his last case, homicide detective Joe Cashin has fled the city and returned to his hometown to run its one-man police station while his wounds heal and the nightmares fade. He lives a quiet life with his two dogs in the tumbledown wreck his family home has become. It's a peaceful existence – ideal for the rehabilitating man. But his recovery is rudely interrupted by a brutal attack on Charles Bourgoyne, a prominent member of the local community. Suspicion falls on three young men from the local Aboriginal community. But Cashin's not so sure and as the case unfolds amid simmering corruption and prejudice, he finds himself holding on to something that it might be better to let go. The relentless story of a town with a hidden past versus a man who is trying to forget his, "The Broken Shore" delivers powerful, lean writing, pumping more muscle and feeling into one paragraph than other writers can muster in a page. A masterpiece of insight and passion, Peter Temple's UK debut announces the arrival of a talent to rival Michael Connelly and Ian Rankin.

A cincuenta metros de distancia, una hilera tras otra de criaturas se alineaban en la playa; la mayoría iba a pie y portaba espadas, toscas pero peligrosas, y escudos negros; otros montaban lagartos ensillados y empuñaban largas lanzas. Al frente iba un abanderado con una enseña amarilla desplegada y decorada con las garras ensangrentadas de un ave de rapiña.
