Tras el primer contacto con Aral, Cordelia volver? a la guerra como capitana de ...

But a strange set of circumstances — including a knife attack, the in vitro fertilization of his wife, and an insurance company plot to use DNA samples to weed out clients predisposed to early deaths — draw Tardivel into a story that will ultimately involve the hunt for a Nazi death camp doctor.
A desperate man with Olympic-level allergies, and a new-age masseuse who'll go to extremes to clear the blockage. It was my goal to write the first graphic sinus story, and by God, I still have the genre to myself. Not for the squeamish.

Und sie wird auch von ihren Auftraggebern skrupellos als „Ding“ benutzt, vom Geheimdienst in Situationen gehetzt, die f?r andere Agenten absolut t?dlich w?ren.

Im 21. Jahrhundert sind die Gro?m?chte ?bereingekommen, auf Erden abzur?sten und die gesamten Waffenarsenale auf den Mond zu verlagern; in durch neutrale Zonen getrennte Sektoren. Analog dem Prinzip der nat?rlichen Evolution organischer Lebewesen vollzieht sich auf dem Mond eine Selbstoptimierung der Waffensysteme, v?llig autonom. Niemand auf Erden wei?, was sich auf dem Mond wirklich abspielt, welche Seite inzwischen einen Vorsprung gewonnen haben mag, die „Doktrin der totalen Unkenntnis“ wird strikt eingehalten. Automatische Aufkl?rungssonden gehen spurlos verloren. Zeit also f?r Ijon Tichy, Lems unerm?dlichen Weltraumreisenden, der nie z?gert, wenn es gilt, die ...

Это повесть в городском стиле, наверное, потому как о городе . Здесь есть загадки, немного мистики и подворотни Москвы, а также еще много чего родного и любимого. В романе главным героем является сам город Москва. Это семь историй о городе и о людях в нем. Если вы любите Москву, то наслаждайтесь чтением. Все описания основаны на реальных событиях. А название? Название просто немного осовременная Москва. Город меняется, это же не статично застывшая вещь.
