Em Extras, último volume da série best seller Feios, Scott Westerfeld revisita o mesmo universo distópico, onde todos são modificados cirurgicamente aos 16 anos para atingir a perfeição estética. Mas, dessa vez, o foco da crítica ferina do autor é a fronteira público/privado. A era da perfeição física acabou e, na sociedade pós-libertação, os cidadãos estão conectados à interface da cidade e, em seus canais individuais, compartilham informações de todo o tipo. Tecnologia, beleza, comportamento, tudo pode ser publicado. Mas o conteúdo é o que menos importa, contanto que ele garanta uma posição no top 10 do ranking da fama. Nesse novo mundo, Aya Fuse, uma Feia de 15 anos, é, ainda, uma Extra. Ou seja, neste complexo novo sistema social, ou se é conhecido ou se é apenas um figurante sem importância. Ocupando o 451.611o lugar nessa tabela, Aya está bem longe de seu próprio irmão, Hiro, que está entre os que ocupam o topo da lista de celebridades. Mas nesse universo não é necessário fazer alguma coisa relevante para ter sucesso: basta encontrar alguém que o faça e contar a todo mundo. Para Aya, a descoberta de um grupo de misteriosas meninas que se arrisca a surfar em trens magnéticos pode ser a oportunidade perfeita. Uma matéria tão boa que irá despertar o interesse de todo mundo, incluindo alguém há muito desaparecido. Extras confirma o talento de Westerfeld em criar mundos e sociedades tão absolutamente diferentes e, ao mesmo tempo, tão intrinsecamente semelhantes aos atuais. Uma paródia brilhante sobre a obsessão do mundo moderno pela fama.

Pero, justo antes de su cumpleaños, su mejor amiga, Shay, huye para unirse a la resistencia, un grupo de imperfectos que viven en una ciudad secreta. Entonces las autoridades le ofrecen a Tally la peor de las disyuntivas: o ir en busca de Shay y devolverla al mundo civilizado o permanecer imperfecta para siempre...

Scott Westerfeld's bestselling Uglies series in a collectible paperback boxed-set!

Un anno fa Cal Thompson frequentava il primo anno di college e della biologia, così come ai suoi amici, non gliene importava niente. Oggi, dopo aver trascorso una notte insieme a Morgan, una misteriosa ragazza incontrata in un bar, la biologia è diventata la sua unica via di salvezza. Perché Morgan gli ha trasmesso un parassita temibile: quello del vampirismo. Per fortuna, Cal risulta essere un portatore sano. Non si trasforma dunque in un cannibale spietato, ma si ritrova dotato di sensi acuiti, di una forza e una velocità sovrumane, e di una dote che gli sembra quasi uno scherzo del destino: una costante eccitazione sessuale. Un dramma per il ragazzo, che non può concedersi neppure un bacio se non vuole condannare chi gli sta accanto. Assoldato da un’antichissima organizzazione segreta che si occupa di tenere sotto controllo i pip, gli altri vampiri come lui “parassita-positivi”, a Cal viene affidato il compito di rintracciare le ragazze che suo malgrado ha già contagiato e di catturarle perché possano essere curate. Ma ne vuole sapere di più: deve scoprire ora chi è davvero Morgan, e qual è la reale natura della malattia che lo ha colpito. Inizia così un’indagine che lo condurrà per le vie e i sotterranei labirintici di New York: fino a quando non scoprirà di essere al centro di un’incredibile, atroce cospirazione. Dalla penna di Scott Westerfeld, lo scrittore che Stephenie Meyer, l’autrice della saga di Twilight, considera il suo maestro, una storia di vampiri come non ne avete mai lette prima.

Entre les oiseaux au bec tranchant, les lianes étrangleuses et les yeux rouges qui les observent depuis les feuillages, tout cela ne leur dit rien qui vaille... Leur crash est-il vraiment un accident ? Ou sont-ils le jouet d'une expérience qui les dépasse ?

Cal Thompson is a carrier of a parasite that causes vampirism, and must hunt down all of the girlfriends he has unknowingly infected.

She suspects that the Emperor has a hidden weakness discovered, by the mind, a secret so dangerous to his immortal dynasty that to prevent its discovery the Emperor is willing to countenance the ultimate crime ... The killing of worlds."--Jacket.
