You Don't Get a Second Life

Loren Hawn is a traditional Western peace officer walking the streets of 21st Century New Mexico, and seemingly unaware that times have changed. And when a dying man named Randal falls out of a bullet-riddled car and dies in Loren’s arm, Loren finds he isn’t the only man living in the wrong time--- because he remembers pulling Randal’s dead body out of a wrecked car twenty years before. He knows the car belongs to a scientist who works at the high-security laboratory built on the outskirts of town, and he knows that if he doesn’t work fast, all evidence of a crime will disappear into national security vaults. In order to bring justice back to his community, Loren will have to risk everything, his life, his job, his faith, and his family. The Chicago Sun-Times said, "This is a novel that works marvelously on a variety of levels--- as an adventure story, a trek through personal entanglements, a study in detailed police techniques and an elightening lesson in theoretical science. And if that isn't enough, it also offers a totally unexpected ending.

Days of Atonement

METROPOLITAN (1995) Un mondo senza nome, in un lontano passato. L'universo racchiuso in una città. In una città perfetta, fondata su un'oscura energia, il plasma. Ma Aiah ha imparato che il plasma è più di una fonte di energia. Agendo sulla mente dell'uomo, ha il potere di guarire e uccidere. E quando, per caso, ne trova un enorme quantitativo al di fuori del controllo dell'Agenzia, si rivolge a Constantine, un misterioso ribelle. Perché insieme potrebbero usare il plasma per cambiare il mondo.

Mary Gentle

S. M. Stirling

Harry Turtledove

Four award-winning authors. Four amazing alternate histories. In this collection of novellas, four masters of alternate history turn back time, twisting the facts with four excursions into what might have been. Bestselling author Harry Turtledove imagines a different fate for Socrates (now Sokrates); S. M. Stirling envisions life "in the wilds of a re-barbarized Texas" after asteroids strike the earth in the 19th century; Sidewise winner Mary Gentle contributes a story of love (and pigs) set in the mid-15th century, as European mercenaries prepare to sack a Gothic Carthage; and Nebula nominee Walter Jon Williams pens a tale of Nietzsche intervening in the gunfight at the O.K. Corral.
