Extreme Temperaturschwankungen und Klimaverschiebungen bestimmten das Wetter zum Ende des 20. Jahrhunderts. Nach wissenschaftlichen Erkenntnissen markiert dieser Trend nur den Anfang eines bevorstehenden klimatischen Albtraums: Steht uns ein Sturm von unvorstellbarer Macht und Zerst?rungswut bevor? Durch die zunehmende globale Erderw?rmung kommt es zu einer Verschiebung der Meeresstr?me, die nachfolgend zu einem dramatischen Klimawandel in vielen Teilen der Welt f?hrt, was sich in verheerenden Unwettern und Naturkatastrophen auswirkt. Art Bell und Whitley Strieber, zwei der f?hrenden amerikanischen Untersucher unerkl?rlicher Ph?nomene, entwerfen in ihrem New-York-Times-Bestseller ein Katastrophenszenario, das ausgehend von der globalen Erderw?rmung entsetzliche ...

L’antologia ? composta da racconti legati da un filo conduttore descritto nel primo racconto che fa da introduzione agli altri. L’opera trae spunto dalla possibilit? di spostarsi in dimensioni parallele, detti piani, e rappresenta una specie di diario di viaggio narrato in prima persona dall’autrice stessa come se fossero esperienze vissute in prima persona o riferite da autentici conoscenti. Ogni dimensione offre spunto per la descrizione di una realt? fantastica ed affascinante, spesso rappresentazione allegorica e satirica della nostra, ma sempre ricca di poesia, sul filone de di Jonathan Swift.
Love hurts, and no one knows it better than Georgina Kincaid. If she so much as kisses Seth Mortensen, the shy, sexy, incredibly gifted Seattle writer she's been dating, she'll drain his life force. Georgina is a succubus - a demon who draws her power from other men's pleasure. Admittedly, the shapeshifting and immortality perks are terrific, and yes, Georgina did choose to join the ranks of hell centuries ago. But it seems completely unfair that a she-demon whose purpose is seduction can't get hot and heavy with the one mortal who knows and accepts her for who she ...

Succubus (n.) An alluring, shape-shifting demon who seduces and pleasures mortal men. Pathetic (adj.) A succubus with great shoes and no social life. See: Georgina Kincaid. When it comes to jobs in hell, being a succubus seems pretty glamorous. A girl can be anything she wants, the wardrobe is killer, and mortal men will do anything just for a touch. Granted, they often pay with their souls, but why get technical? But Seattle succubus Georgina Kincaid's life is far less exotic. Her boss is a middle-management demon with a thing for John Cusack movies. Her immortal best ...
Some days, a girl just can't catch a break......especially when the girl in question is Georgina Kincaid, a shape-shifting succubus who gets her energy from seducing men. First there's her relationship with gorgeous bestselling writer Seth Mortensen, which is unsatisfying on a number of levels. It's not just that they can't have sex in case Georgina inadvertently kills him (generally a turn-off for most guys). Lately, even spending time together is a challenge. Seth's obsessed with finishing his latest novel, and Georgina's under demonic orders to mentor the new (and surprisingly inept) succubus on the block.Then there ...
Georgina Kincaid has been a bad, bad succubus, which should be a good thing. But lately, thanks to her foul mood over breaking up with bestselling writer Seth Mortensen, she's been so wicked that Seattle's ?ber-demon Jerome, decides to 'outsource' Georgina to a rival-and have her spy for him in the process. Being exiled to the frozen north-okay, Vancouver-and leaving Seth in the cozy clutches of his new girlfriend is unpleasant enough. Then Jerome is kidnapped, and all immortals under his control mysteriously lose their powers. One bright spot: with her life-sucking ability gone, there's nothing to keep Georgina from getting down and dirty with Seth, nothing apart from his girlfriend that is. Now, as the supernatural population starts turning on itself, a newly mortal Georgina must rescue her boss and figure out who's been playing them-or all hell will break loose.
Georgina Kincaid has had an eternity to figure out the opposite sex, but sometimes they still surprise her. Take Seth Mortensen. The man has risked his soul to become Georgina's boyfriend. Still, with Lucifer for a boss, Georgina can't just hang up her killer heels and settle down to domestic bliss. In fact, she's being forced to transfer operations...to Las Vegas.The City of Sin is a dream gig for a succubus, but Georgina's allies are suspicious. Why are the powers-that-be so eager to get her away from Seattle — and from Seth? Georgina is one of Hell's most valuable assets, but if there's any way out of the succubus business she plans to take it — no matter how much roadkill she leaves behind. She just hopes the casualties won't include the one man she's risking everything for...
Georgina Kincaid has formidable powers. Immortality, seduction, shape-shifting into any human form she desires, walking in heels that would cripple mere mortals—all child's play to a succubus like her.Helping to plan her ex-boyfriend's wedding is a different story. Georgina isn't sure which is worse—that Seth is marrying another woman, or that Georgina has to run all over Seattle trying on bridesmaid dresses. Still, there are distractions. Georgina's roommate, Roman, is cluttering her apartment with sexual tension. Then there's Simone, the new succubus in town, who's intent on corrupting Seth. But the real danger lies in the mysterious force that's visiting her thoughts, trying to draw her into a dark, otherworldly realm. Sooner or later, Georgina knows she'll be too weak to resist. And when that happens, she'll discover who she can trust, who she can't—and that Hell is far from the worst place to spend eternity. . .

No one knew who, or what, Whistler was-except that "he" was the mastermind of the Interplanetary Investigation Agency, known as Suicide, Inc. Its orders were issued through floating terminals and executed by androids and humanoids. And one human ex-criminal named Smith…
