The Visitor by Ray Bradbury - Exiles on Mars face a barren future until Leonard Mark brings a glimpse of freedom. Saul Williams awoke to the still morning. He looked wearily out of his tent and thought about how far away Earth was. Millions of miles, he thought. It was very bad. But then what could you do about it? Your lungs were full of the “blood-rust.” You coughed all the time. Saul arose this particular morning at seven o’clock. He was a tall man, lean, thinned by his illness. It was a quiet morning on Mars, with the dead sea bottom flat and silent, no wind on it. The sun was clear and cool in the empty sky. He washed his face and ate breakfast. After that, he wanted very much to be back on Earth. During the day he tried every way that it was possible to be in New York City. Sometimes, if he sat right and held his hands a certain way, he did it. He could almost smell New York. Most of the time, though, it was impossible. Later in the morning, Saul tried to die. He lay on the sand and told his heart to stop. It continued beating. He imagined himself leaping from a cliff or cutting his wrists, but laughed to himself—for he knew he lacked the nerve for either act.Mostra libro

A cyborg assassin opts to save—not take—her target's life, in this post-apocalyptic adventure by the author of Afterwar and the Dante Valentine series. Her name is unimportant. She is her job: a liquidator. Deep in debt for cyborg modifications, the agent eliminates whatever target she's given. It's a relatively simple job—until now. Her latest assignment is to kill a child, and she can't refuse—because refusal means Dismissal, a fate worse than death. Instead, the operative smuggles her target out of the city, away from his corporate caretakers. But little Geoff is a gifted, genetically engineered, profitable experiment, and everyone—bounty hunters, fellow cyborgs, brain-fried cannibals, and other monsters—is desperate to get their hands on him. The agent may be practically indestructible, but she's about to test her limits. Hell hath no fury like a mother protecting her own . . .Mostra libro
