New Releases by Joe Haldeman

Two aliens have wandered Earth for centuries. The Changeling has survived by adapting the forms of many different organisms. The Chameleon destroys anything or anyone that threatens it. Now, a sunken relic that holds the key to their origins calls to them to take them home—but the Chameleon has decided there's only room for one. Camouflage delivers a riveting exploration of alien presence and the eternal quest for identity.

Des êtres multiformes et télépathes anéantissent avec une violence inouïe les membres d''une expédition de routine chargée d''explorer une planète jugée sans danger. On ignore tout de leurs mobiles, aucune communication avec eux n''est possible. Or tout porte à croire qu''ils se préparent à envahir la Terre. Dernier espoir de l''humanité : établir le contact avec eux par le truchement d''un petit animal extraterrestre récemment découvert sur une autre planète ; un animal ayant la particularité d''établir un lien psychique entre les deux êtres qui le touchent en même temps. Mais la compréhension peut-elle naître entre deux races orgueilleuses que tout semble opposer ? Par l''auteur de l''inoubliable Guerre éternelle et du Vieil homme et son double, un space-opera d''une profonde originalité, à mi-chemin entre Etoiles garde-à-vous de Robert Heinlein et Starship Troopers, son adaptation cinématographique réalisée par Paul Verhoeven.

„O carte cu o solutie increzatoare ca razboiul se poate termina in secolul XXI.“ Library Journal 2043 A.D.: In plin razboi soldatii manevreaza masinarii de lupta de la sute de kilometri distanta. Julian Class este unul dintre acesti luptatori si pentru el razboiul e iadul. Tensiunea psihologica si violenta devin de nesuportat. Dar chiar in astfel de momente face o descoperire stiintifica incredibila. O descoperire care nu e ingrozitoare ci tentanta. Ea poate schimba traiectoria universului. „Romanul are o enorma incarcatura emotionala. Ca de obicei Haldeman scrie cu inteligenta si forta despre ororile razboiului si despre aparenta incapacitate a omenirii de a-si invinge impulsurile violente.“ Publishers Weekly „Haldeman este de multa vreme unul dintre scriitorii nostri cei mai patrunzatori si cei mai necesari. El vorbeste de undeva din adancul sinelui colectiv si mai important din adancul propriului sau sine. Arta lui e configurata de intelepciunea greu castigata a supravietuitorului.“ Peter Straub "

Vous voyez ça d''ici. Des simili gorilles défoncés au bismuth qui entassent leurs défunts ancêtres dans leur salon comme des fagots de bois mort. Une planète reculée où des chauves-souris géantes font la loi dans le ciel nocturne, où des serpents gros comme des semi-remorques rôdent dans la jungle. Un cafard sarcastique, aussi gros qu''un homme, qui connaît le Talmud par cœur, jure comme un charretier et prétend être immortel. Pendant plus de vingt ans, rien que de très banal dans tout ça pour Otto Mc Gavin, ex-agent du mythique T.B.I.I., chargé de maintenir l''ordre dans ces endroits pourris et qui, au seuil de la retraite, s''interroge sur son passé. Car enfin, peut-on être à la fois flic, anglo-bouddhiste fervent et non violent convaincu ? Sous les apparences d''un space-opéra loufoque, une réflexion sarcastique sur la violence d''Etat et la perversion du pouvoir.
