After watching the movie Jaws, you stayed out of the water. After reading Deathstroke, you'll stay out of the forest.
"Hurry! It's coming!" A desperate young mother shoves her infant son deep into a crevice between two logs. Will her baby survive? Will anyone? "Hurry! It's coming!"
That scene, and the hundreds of others like it, are everything Algar Kersek could have hoped for. The alien general has traveled deep into the Sonora desert to be present for the recording of the memories of a dying human. Dr. John Richardson is the last surviving witness to the horrors of a Prosian Deathstroke. His memories of the event will be captured on a crystal, there to be copied and distributed to every corner of the Empire. It is the most eagerly awaited crystal in history. The sights, the sounds, even the sense of touch will soon be available for every Prosian to experience for himself. For the first time, everyone will know what it was like to face the Gorgoth, the ultimate weapon of mass destruction.
As the recorder's probe burrows deep into Richardson's mind, the terrifying flow of his memories shows how an unsuspecting world was plunged into a desperate struggle for survival. In that struggle, the very soul of humanity is laid bare. Deathstroke is a chronicle of humanity's darkest hour. So, too, is it the story of mankind's finest.
But above all, Deathstroke is a warning. It is an allegory of an approaching world brought on by an exploding population utterly addicted to carbon: storms of unprecedented violence, lethal viruses, and most of all, a species that devours everything in its path. Do we not see the coming reality? Will we act in time? Deathstroke can be our call to action, or it can be our epitaph..

Après avoir purgé 20 ans de prison pour un meurtre qu'il n'a pas commis, un homme rentre chez lui pour se venger d'un pasteur local (le Doyen Maitland) qui savait qu'il était innocent mais qui n'a rien fait pour le défendre.
Roman très réussi de Maxwell Gray en 1886. Le best-seller de l'époque, The Silence of Dean Maitland, associe des descriptions évocatrices du paysage rural anglais, à l'image de George Eliot et de Thomas Hardy, à un scénario captivant, qui rappelle les meilleurs romans à sensation de l'époque. Il a ensuite été adapté à la scène et à l'écran.
Étudiants, chercheurs et amateurs de littérature victorienne seront ravis de redécouvrir ce classique oublié - dont le monde fictif est basé sur l'île de Wight. Ceux qui s'intéressent au paysage anglais, au crime et aux punitions, et aux questions de choix moral, en particulier à une époque profondément marquée par les recherches et les théories de Charles Darwin, trouveront également une lecture convaincante.

Rick Boski and Goose Gordon are small-time crims who met twenty years ago in jail in Perth, Western Australia (in the Dave Warner novel Exxxpresso). After serving his time Rick fulfilled his dream to open a prison-themed cafe (Cafe Inside) and has been extremely successful over the intervening period. Goose has done well working for mining companies and both have been on the straight and narrow. But now there are two flies in the ointment: former jailbirds Taco Bill and Pineapple Pete who have NOT gone on the straight and narrow, and who are demanding Goose uses his knowledge of alarms to help them heist an expensive oil painting from a private home. Declining is not an option, so Goose turns to Rick for help. Rick comes up with a solution. They will get a fake painting done that looks just like the painting that is going to be stolen. They will then steal the real painting first, replace it with a fake painting that Taco Bill and Pineapple Pete can happily head off with. Then they will replace the real painting and nobody will be any the wiser. It sounds like a simple plan but a love-sick artist and a vicious guard dog lead to a very smeared palate.
