Some things won't stay buried… at grave's endIt should be the best time of half-vampire Cat Crawfield's life. With her undead lover Bones at her side, she's successfully protected mortals from the rogue undead.

Caught in the crosshairs of a vengeful vamp, yet determined to help Bones stop a lethal magic from being unleashed, Cat's about to learn the true meaning of bad blood. And the tricks she's learned as a special agent won't help her. She will need to fully embrace her vampire instincts in order to save herself – and Bones – from a fate worse than the grave.
After a recurrence of the cataclysm that killed off the dinosaurs and a resulting Long Winter of 700,000 years, the eventual New Springtime sees only two of the far future Earth’s original Six Peoples emerge from their deep cocoons: the resilient, insect-like hjjk-folk and the simian tribes who regard themselves as heirs to humanity. Young Hresh-full-of-questions is a member of one of the latter, a small band that must radically change its ancient rituals and taboos to adapt to their new life. Taking up temporary residence in the shell of a once great city, the group fearfully meets another people, is itself torn in half by rivalry and, through Hresh, achieves a new realization of who they are. This solid, dramatic novel expands on a favorite motif of Silverberg’s: the mixed terrors and pleasures of freedom, of going out into the wider world without guide, map or a sure sense of one’s own capabilities.

Надеялись на светлое будущее? «американская бойня под Пекином и китайская бомба Чен» и будущее – в бункерах. Человечество отброшено в век пара, без электричества – «крошки чен витали в атмосфере Земли, кишели повсюду. И превращали изоляторы в проводники.» Генетически измененные звери рядом с людьми. Все привыкли и обустроились. Но американцы задумали обалделый проект. И для некоторых может вернуться все! Вот только поляки не глупы. Как все обернется – читайте в одном из лучших произведений новой польской фантастики – «Автобан нах Познань» Анджея Земянского! Перевод M.W. (жестче перевода Леонида Кудрявцева).
Nella cittadina americana di Whiteford una ragazza va in cucina a preparare il caff? lasciando il padre seduto nella sua poltrona. Quando ritorna dopo pochi minuti, la stanza ? piena di fumo ma non c’? pi? incendio: ci? che ? bruciato (dall’interno) e ridotto in finissima cenere, ? soltanto suo padre. Si scopre allora che testimonianze pi? o meno credibili sul fenomeno del CUS (Combustione Umana Spontanea) si erano avute fin dall’antichit?. E pochi giorni dopo, nella stessa cittadina — un secondo caso si verifica sotto gli occhi dello stesso scettico giornalista che sta indagando sul primo. L’“autocombustione umana” ? ormai un fatto accertato. Resta solo da spiegare chi o che cosa “si nasconda” dietro il mostruoso fenomeno.
