PROGETTO GIOVE Tornare nello spazio, riprendere la grande spinta in avanti che è stata il motivo di tutta la sua vita: questo sogna Max Andrews, l'astronauta appiedato che un incidente costringe al ruolo di semplice spettatore. Solo una donna può aiutarlo a coronare quel desiderio, ma non è una scienziata: è la senatrice Ellen Gallagher.
UNO STRANO CLIENTE Quando una donna si presenta agli investigatori Ed e Am Hunter per chiedere protezione, nessuno dei due pensa di tirarsi indietro. "Chi la minaccia?" vogliono sapere. "I dischi volanti", risponde la ragazza terrorizzata. "Vogliono uccidermi gli abitanti dei dischi volanti!" Un thriller raffinato, con una trovata iniziale mozzafiato.
GLI STRANI SUICIDI DI BARTLESVILLE La "cosa" che entra nella mente e spinge verso la morte ha già cominciato a fare vittime. A Bartlesville, anzi in tutta l'America, c'è una sola persona che possa combatterla: Amanda Tilley, la "signorina omicidi" della fantascienza.

About the author

Fredric Brown

810 books356 followers
Fredric Brown was an American science fiction and mystery writer. He was one of the boldest early writers in genre fiction in his use of narrative experimentation. While never in the front rank of popularity in his lifetime, Brown has developed a considerable cult following in the almost half century since he last wrote. His works have been periodically reprinted and he has a worldwide fan base, most notably in the U.S. and Europe, and especially in France, where there have been several recent movie adaptations of his work. He also remains popular in Japan.

Never financially secure, Brown - like many other pulp writers - often wrote at a furious pace in order to pay bills. This accounts, at least in part, for the uneven quality of his work. A newspaperman by profession, Brown was only able to devote 14 years of his life as a full-time fiction writer. Brown was also a heavy drinker, and this at times doubtless affected his productivity. A cultured man and omnivorous reader whose interests ranged far beyond those of most pulp writers, Brown had a lifelong interest in the flute, chess, poker, and the works of Lewis Carroll. Brown married twice and was the father of two sons.

***** Progetto Giove: probabilmente merita le 5 stelline, romanzo breve molto toccante e sconvolgente; consigliato a tutti, anche ai non fan della fantascienza.
** Uno strano cliente: giallo mediocre...
** Gli strani suicidi a Bertsville: l'idea era anche simpatica ma far si che il lettore sapesse tutto fin dalle prime pagine rende la storia poco interessante; inoltre alcune deduzioni fatte dai personaggi sono troppo irrealistiche.
