The Cool War

The Cool War
One day, the Reverend Hornswell Hake had nothing worse to contend with than the customary power shortages and his routine pastoral chores, such as counseling the vivacious Alys Brant--and her husbands and wife. At nearly forty, his life was placid, almost humdrum. The very next day, Horny Hake was first enlisted as an unwilling agent of the Team--secret successor to the long-discredited CIA--and then courted by an anti-Team underground group. In practically no time at all, Horny and Alys were touring Europe on a mission about which he knew zip, except that it was a new move in the Cool War, the worldwide campaign of sabotage that had replaced actual combat.

LES RECIFS DE L'ESPACE

LES RECIFS DE L'ESPACE
Steve Ryeland est un Risque : il porte un collier d''acier renfermant une charge explosive. Tel est le prix à payer pour son crime. Quel crime ? Seuls lui reviennent quelques souvenirs torturants. Serait-il un homme truqué ? Pourtant le Planificateur lui confie une tâche cruciale. On a découvert, au-delà du système solaire, d''étranges coraux où des animaux pacifiques se déplacent sans effort apparent. Cette propulsion sans réaction permettrait aux hommes de coloniser les Récifs de l''espace. A Ryeland d''en découvrir le principe. Mais faut-il ouvrir aux forces du Plan le chemin des étoiles ? Ryeland hésite. Il ne voudrait pas risquer la Banque des Corps, où les rebelles sont mutilés pour rénover les organismes utiles. Pourtant, s''il rejoignait les Récifs ? S''il rejetait le Plan ? S''il choisissait la liberté sans frontières ? Une grande échappée vers les étoiles ? Pour l''humanité, ce serait la fin du cauchemar totalitaire. Telle est l''idée commune de Jack Williamson, le maître du space opera, et de Frederik Pohl, l''auteur de La Grande Porte. Unissant leurs talents, ils nous racontent ici l''histoire d''un Robin des Bois stellaire aux prises avec la machine du pouvoir.
