New Releases by Hugh Howey

In een geruïneerd en giftig landschap leeft een gemeenschap in een gigantische ondergrondse silo. Honderden meters onder de aardoppervlakte wonen de mensen er in een streng gereguleerde maatschappij. Sheriff Holston, jarenlang een trouwe aanhanger van de wetten van de silo, breekt onverwachts het allergrootste taboe: hij wil naar buiten. Silo werd door Hugh Howey in eigen beheer onder de titel Wool gepubliceerd, aanvankelijk alleen als e-book, in vijf delen. Nadat er in de Verenigde Staten meer dan een half miljoen exemplaren waren verkocht, besloot Simon & Schuster het uit te geven en werd het een internationale bestseller. De filmrechten zijn verkocht aan 20th Century Fox.

I PRIMI SEI CAPITOLI DI WOOL, IL PRIMO ELETTRIZZANTE CAPITOLO DELLA TRILOGIA SILO CHE HA CONQUISTATO GLI STATI UNITI. Cosa faresti se il mondo fuori fosse letale e l’aria che respiri potesse uccidere? Se vivessi in un luogo dove ogni nascita richiede una morte e le tue scelte possono salvare vite o distruggerle? Questo è il mondo di Wool. In un futuro apocalittico, in un paesaggio devastato e tossico, una comunità sopravvive rinchiusa in un gigantesco silo sotterraneo. Lì, uomini e donnevivono prigionieri in una società piena di regole che dovrebbero servire aproteggerli. Il rispetto delle leggi è affidato allo sceriffo Holston, un uomo lucido e malinconico che vive nel ricordo della moglie scomparsa. Dopo anni di servizio integerrimo, un giorno, a sorpresa, rompe inaspettatamente il più grande di tutti tabù e chiede di uscire, di andare fuori, incontro alla morte. La sua fatidica decisione scatena una serie di terribili eventi. A sostituirlo è nominato un candidato improbabile, un tecnico specializzato del reparto macchine: Juliette. Ora che il silo è affidato a lei, imparerà presto a sue spese quanto il suo mondo è malato. Juliette è abituata ad aggiustare le cose e vuole vederci chiaro: com’è nato il silo? E chi ha interesse a mantenervi l’ordine, tanto da arrivare a uccidere? Forse il silo è in procinto di affrontare ciò che la storia ha lasciato solo intendere e che i suoi abitanti non hanno mai avuto il coraggio di sussurrare. Rivolta.

La novela de ciencia ficción en la que se basa la serie de TV «Si las mentiras no acaban contigo, la verdad lo hará». En el futuro la Tierra es un planeta devastado en el que el aire se ha vuelto tóxico. Rodeados por este paisaje desolado, algunos seres humanos sobreviven en un silo subterráneo. Allí, hombres y mujeres viven en una sociedad regulada por estrictas leyes que han sido creadas para protegerlos. El sheriff Holston, quien no ha vacilado en defender las reglas del silo durante años, de repente rompe el mayor de todos los tabúes: pide salir al exterior. Su fatídica decisión desencadenará una serie de drásticos acontecimientos que llevará al resto de habitantes del silo a enfrentarse a algo que sólo se conoce por las historias y cuyo nombre ni siquiera se atreven a susurrar. «Espejismo es la mejor y más inmersiva novela distópica de este siglo. Absolutamente imprescindible.», Juan Gómez-Jurado

***WARNING: NOT FIT FOR HUMAN CONSUMPTION*** This book contains foul language and fouler descriptions of life as a zombie. It will offend most anyone, so proceed with caution or not at all. And be forewarned: This is not a zombie book. This is a different sort of tale. It is a story about the unfortunate, about those who did not get away. It is a human story at its rotten heart. It is the reason we can''t stop obsessing about these creatures, in whom we see all too much of ourselves.

Adam Griffey is living two lives. By day, he teaches literature. At night, he steals it. Adam is a plagiarist, an expert reader with an eye for great works. He prowls simulated worlds perusing virtual texts, looking for the next big thing. And when he finds it, he memorizes it page by page, line by line, word for word. And then he brings it back to his world, the real world, and he sells it. But what happens when these virtual worlds begin to seem more real than his own? What happens when the people within them mean more to him than flesh and blood? What happens when a living thing falls in love with someone who does not actually exist?

Al doilea volum din seria SILOZUL „Înspăimântător, fascinant și misterios. Iată de ce povestea captivează cititorii așa de repede.“ The Guardian Lumea se schimbă. Oamenii de știință au proiectat primii naniți, roboți medicinali microscopici care pot diagnostica și vindeca. Și care se pot reproduce. Concomitent, industria farmaceutică a produs o pastilă care poate șterge orice amintire legată de un eveniment traumatic din viața cuiva. Omenirea a descoperit, așadar, calea spre autodistrugere, precum și modalitatea prin care poate uita complet că a făcut-o. Câțiva înțeleg însă ce urmează. Se pregătesc și încearcă să se apere. Pleacă pe un drum fără întoarcere. Un drum sub pământ. Istoria silozului se dezvăluie și viitorul începe. „Howey creează o apocalipsă îngrozitoare, extrem de credibilă. Silozul. Începuturile dezvăluie din ce în ce mai multe straturi ale unei lumi distopice și pregătește inteligent calea spre volumul următor.“ Sunday Express „Pe măsură ce discuțiile legate de folosirea armelor nucleare se reaprind, romanele tulburătoare ale lui Hugh Howey devin din ce în ce mai actuale. Ca niște semnale de alarmă în care imaginația și talentul literar ne arată punctul în care omenirea nu trebuie să ajungă niciodată.“ Marian Coman, redactor-șef Armada
