Oh, you mean "All the Living and the Dead?" It's a fascinating book about all the people who deal with death as a profession, like morticians, detectives and executioners. Comes out in a month in the US. Would recommend! Also, the author's pretty cool.      источник

If you're wondering why I am not on Twitter all that much today, it's because I'm reading this book right now, because I'm doing an event tomorrow (5/6) with Holly Black at @JosephBethCincy at 7pm! The book is terrific, by the way, but then, it would be. Holly Black rocks.      источник

The books I'm taking with me while I travel this weekend. Two very different stories from two excellent storytellers. I'm looking forward to both.      источник

A Novel (Match Made in Hell Book 1)
Gwenda Bond - 2021-10-05
Рейтинг Goodreads
A hilarious paranormal romantic comedy that takes place at the (possible) end of the world. When a Satanic cult shows up at Callie's escape room, claiming they need the prop spell book to summon the right hand of the devil, things start to get weird. But when a handsome demon named Luke offers to help Callie stop the cult from destroying the world, things get completely strange. As they try to stay one step ahead of the cult, Callie can't deny her attraction to Luke, but what she doesn't know is that he's the Prince of Hell himself. Will there be time for romance with the apocalypse looming?

Дэн Симмонс — не просто один из классических писателей-фантастов нашего времени. Он — автор самой, наверное, знаменитой и популярной в мире «космической оперы» — тетралогии «Гиперион», «Падение Гипериона», «Эндимион», «Восход Эндимиона», создатель поистине уникального в своей оригинальности мира, загадочного и изменчивого мира порталов, соединяющих планеты, великой реки Тетис и великих звездных войн, в которых причудливо переплелись судьбы священника и солдата, поэта и ученого, консула и детектива. Критики и читатели единодушно признали тетралогию Дэна Симмонса лучшим научно-фантастическим сериалом последнего десятилетия. Не верите? Прочитайте и убедитесь сами!

OMW directly influenced by: Starship Troopers, book AND film; Half-Life; Dan Simmons' Hyperion series; and rather quite a few films with snappy dialogue and a three-act structure BUT SPECIFICALLY Nora Ephron's bits in Sleepless in Seattle where Sam talks about missing his wife.      источник

Рейтинг Goodreads
Роман "Звездный десант", посвященный столь близкой автору и столь актуальной для нашего времени военной теме, - одно из самых популярных произведений Хайнлайна. Он был положен в основу сюжета одноименного нашумевшего фильма.
