Murphy's Law
￥8.09
As First Officer on the part passenger ship, part space freighter, The Fiscal Restraint, Jack Dexter (Dex to his friends) thinks he knows all there is to know about "Murphy’s Law": If anything can go wrong, it will. And on the perpetually under-staffed, under-funded Restraint, it generally does. But he never expected to actually meet Murphy. The real Murphy. Dex hires Orville Sod onto the Restraint just before the ship makes the jump to deep space. Unfortunately, by the time that Dex figures out that Orville is a real-life "Murphy"—one of those sad souls who attract more than their fair share of calamity—things have become, uh, complicated. A VIP is almost killed… Food systems have shut down… The navigation computer has been destroyed. Well, at least things can’t get any worse… Oh…wait… "Douglas Smith showcases his talent for creating strong characters who are believable and sympathetic—even when they inhabit an absurd world. That world is painted vividly with efficient brush strokes as Smith expertly weaves between Murphy's misadventures on board the Fiscal Restraint and Dex's retelling of the same to his captive audience at The House Limit. 'Murphy's Law' is a hilarious, yet poignant read." —Rainbow Dragon Recommends

The story charms as well as pains. In other hands, it would be mawkish, but Smith avoids all the pitfalls and gives us something bittersweet instead.” —Fantasy Literature

From New York Times bestselling author CJ Lyons: Can a girl raised to kill give it up for a chance at a new life?? The only thing worse than being the girl raised by a serial killer is being the girl he blames for getting caught…and now Morgan Ames’ father has escaped prison. Morgan knows she’ll be at the top of her father’s hit list. After all, she dared to defy him, abandoning him to rot in jail while she escaped to live a normal life. Every instinct screams at Morgan to run and hide, but she’s as much a predator as her father and she refuses to allow him to turn her into prey. Because to Clinton Caine the entire world is populated by “fish,” victims to torture for his own twisted pleasure. Morgan is no fish. Past time her father learned that.

Romanul 2666 este scris ?n ultimii trei ani ai lui Bola?o, ?ntr?o curs? contra cronometru cu moartea. Alc?tuit din cinci p?r?i pe care autorul, ?ntr?o ?ncercare de a asigura viitorul financiar al copiilor s?i, le inten?iona publicate drept cinci romane separate, 2666 a ap?rut totu?i drept o singur? carte, valoarea literar? a ansamblului fiind mult prea mare pentru a fi divizat din ra?iuni comerciale. Toate cele cinci p?r?i contribuie la configurarea unui spa?iu ?n care crima ?i literatura sunt dou? fe?e ale aceluia?i mister. Ora?ul Santa Teresa din de?ertul Sonora, la grani?a Mexicului cu SUA, este scena unor crime ?n serie ?mpotriva femeilor, dar ?i destina?ia final? a celui mai important scriitor german al secolului trecut, Benno von Archimboldi (personaj fictiv). ?n Chile a c??tigat Premiul Altazor ?n 2005. ?n SUA a c??tigat National Book Critics Circle Award ?n 2009 (premiu acordat postum). ?Trebuie s? ascul?i ce spun femeile. [...] Nimeni nu d? aten?ie acestor asasinate, dar ?n ele se ascunde secretul lumii.“ ?La 40 de ani dup? ce García Márquez a zguduit literatura din temelii cu Un veac de singur?tate, Bola?o o face din nou. 2666 este, pur ?i simplu, epocal. F?r? ?ndoial?, prima carte mare a secolului XXI.“ The Complete Review ?Nu un roman, ci un breviar al timpurilor prezente, un imens manual de doliu ?i de melancolie. Un De profundis baroc ?i enigmatic, crima pasional? a unui om care a murit de ?i pentru literatur? ?i care las? supravie?uitorilor aceast? carte, a?a cum o armat? ?nvins? p?rjole?te p?m?ntul ?n urma ei.“ Olivier Mony, Le Figaro ?Data viitoare c?nd mai auzi?i pe cineva vorbind de “moartea romanului“, da?i?i ?n cap cu 2666. ?i apoi pune?i?l s??l citeasc?. Cinci c?r?i ?ntr?una singur?, des?v?r?it ?ntre?esute nu doar prin idei recurente ?i personaje, ci ?i printr?un umor toren?ial, o profund? umanitate ?i o verv? dezl?n?uit?, capodopera postum? a acestui magician [...] trebuie s? se afle ?n orice bibliotec? demn? de acest nume.“ Boyd Tonkin, The Independent

Atunci cititorii au f?cut cuno?tin?? cu un tân?r jurnalist român glume?, dar ?i grav, în aparen?? superficial, dar tob? de carte ?i dedicat profesiei sale. Dup? ce îi ia un interviu unei violoniste celebre, Mihaela Comnoiu, el se treze?te implicat într-o situa?ie-limit?, descoperind un cadavru în biblioteca sa. La început, de fric?, Mladin eludeaz? mili?ia ?i se decide s? fac? propriile investiga?ii, devenind un detectiv f?r? voie. Treptat-treptat, descoper? c? în jurul lui s-a ?esut o conspira?ie care îi dore?te pieirea. Iste?imea ?i umorul care îl caracterizeaz? îl ajut? s? treac? prin întâmpl?ri periculoase ?i s? dezlege misterul. Totul se petrece într-un Bucure?ti în care sunt prezentate cozi la alimente, uleiul ?i zah?rul se dau pe cartel?, str?zile sunt luminate anemic, apa cald? nu curge la robinete, telefoanele sunt ascultate, cet??enii sunt supraveghea?i zi ?i noapte. Un ora? în care domne?te frica. ?i ast?zi unii se întreab? cum de a trecut de cenzur? un roman în care anchetatorul nu este un reprezentant al autorit??ilor ?i în care deseori se râde de cutumele unei epoci pe care propaganda o considera de „aur“. Dup? Atac în bibliotec? s-a realizat un film de-abia în 1992, scenariul din 1985 fiind respins de cenzura comunist?. Romanul a ap?rut în limba englez? în 2011, la editura londonez?
