No Common Thread

Barbara De Marco

Sinossi

Rebecca is a troubled teenager, not comfortable in the shoes of a good girl, she rebels to cover up her malaise. Alessia looks to the tarot cards “for something that would help her solve her enigma”, fill the void she has within. Anxiety torments Luigi, an apparently confident man, who is in fact rather lonely, and who finds comfort and relief in surrounding himself with thousands of books. In Jana’s eyes you can read her atavistic fear. They recount the intricate complexity of adapting to the social conventions typical of a small provincial town, on the borders of Italy. The delicate portrait of the elderly protagonist in “Alzheimer’s”, the drawer-full of memories in “Trieste” and the young broken life of Goran, all paint a portrait for the fragility of human relationships seeking, in love, the strength to fight illness and death. Will the reader, along this bumpy path, at times tortuous, at times easy, other times harsh, a metaphor for life itself, be able to find the deeper meaning, the common thread?

The Best of Bova Vol 2

Ben Bova

The second volume of the best stories from legendary hard science fiction writer Ben Bova, the creator of the New York Times bestselling Grand Tour science fiction series, a six-time Hugo award winner, and past president of the National Space Society. 
The stories included in this volume span the five decades of Bova’s incandescent career at the center of science fiction and space advocacy. 
Here are tales of star-faring adventure, peril, and drama. Here are journeys into the mind-bending landscapes of virtual worlds and alternate realities. Here you’ll also find stories of humanity’s astounding future on Earth, on Mars, and in the Solar System beyond—stories that always get the science right. And Bova’s gathering of deeply realized, totally human characters are the heroic, brave, tricky, sometimes dastardly engineers, astronauts, corporate magnates, politicians, and scientists who will make these futures possible—and those who often find that the problems of tomorrow are always linked to human values, and human failings, that are as timeless as the stars.
