Katalogové číslo: D2115

Third volume of the trilogy (White Queen, 1993; North Wind, 1996) about the exploitation of Earth by baboon-like, hermaphrodite, serially immortal aliens. Catherine is a human/alien hybrid. Though biologically human, her father is the influential Aleutian, Lord Maitri; mentally, Catherine herself the reincarnation of Clavel, the Aleutian Third Captain from the First Expedition. Now, after 300 years, the Aleutians are preparing to leave, and a human conspiracy, led by Misha Connelly and his friends at the Phoenix Cafe, are plotting against them. Catherine feels guilty for the rape she committed as Clavel, so she allows Misha to abuse and manipulate her. Then the Americans, who've permitted no contact with the Aleutians, prepare to receive a trade delegation. Maitri lies dying. Catherine discovers that Misha's plotters have been preparing ghastly biological weapons to use against the Aleutians, in retaliation for the aliens' refusal to share their advanced technology-though it turns out that they've developed the technology independently anyway. The biological weapons are for one human faction to use against another. Maitri dies, Catherine gets some explanations for her strange experiences, and the Aleutians depart. Wonderful aliens, unpleasant gender conflicts, heavy-handed metaphors, imperceptible plot: It all adds up to a churning, unsatisfying, rather unwieldy wrapup...v angličtine, brožovaná, výborný stav, 300 strán

The Poltergoose

Spisovatel: Lawrence Michael, Orchard Books 2000
Katalogové číslo: E7316

When Jiggy McCue moves to the Brook Farm Estates, strange things start happening-something big and angry and invisible keeps hissing at him and poking his rear end. When Jiggy realizes he's being haunted by a dead goose-a Poltergoose-he calls on his friends Pete and Angie for help. Together the Three Musketeers (whose motto is "One for all, and all for lunch!") set off to find out where the poltergoose came from, why it's haunting Jiggy, and how to send it back where it belongs.With a wisecracking narrator, totally wacky plot, and tons of gross-out humor, The Poltergoose is laugh-out-loud funny and perfect for today's kids.... v angličtine, brožovaná, 150 strán
