writing, interesting characters, fascinating situations. Magic Time takes up where The Stand leaves off.” —Harry TurtledoveReality is not what it was. Welcome to Magic Time.For rising young lawyer Cal Griffin, it's just another day in the Big City—until the lights go off . . . for good.Suddenly packs of pale crouched figures are stalking the darkened subways, monsters prowl Times Square, and the people all around Cal are . . . changing. Similar weirdness is happening everywhere, from the dank, cold heart of a West Virginia coal mine to a remote lab in South Dakota—where a team of government scientists has unwittingly invited something catastrophic into the world—to the highest levels of power in Washington, D.C.And Cal Griffin is not the only one struggling to comprehend the surreal, devouring chaos surrounding him—nor the only one who will be forced to accept a new role in this brave new world of nightmare and wonder. For the forces bled from the stilled machines are fueling a consciousness both newly born and ancient—and more than one unlikely hero will be needed for the titanic battle between the darkness and the light.“A good story written by an excellent team. . . . If you like Terry Brooks' Running With The Demon, you'll like this too. . . . I want to know what happens next.” —SFRevu.com

parlent de ce qu'ils ont vécu en Afghanistan. Si les soldats jouent d'abord les fiers-à-bras, une confiance s'établit peu à peu à mesure que les langues se délient. Ils partagent leurs récits drôles, durs et touchants, racontent la camaraderie salvatrice, les champs de mines qui explosent, les corps torpillés, les terreurs, les doutes, les chocs, les regrets. Leurs témoignages croisés - parfois contradictoires, souvent troués de silence, mais toujours sincères - transportent l'écrivaine en zone de guerre, où tous les choix semblent impossibles. Ils la bouleversent jusque dans ses plus profondes convictions, elle qui se revendique d'un pacifisme et d'un antimilitarisme inébranlables, et l'incitent à se livrer à un troublant exercice d'empathie."

Treblinka, Poland--1942. Daily, thousands of passengers including Bronka and Tchechia arrive at a destination they believe is a resettlement work…
camp, only to be immediately separated from their families and told to remove their clothing. Within moments, the masses disappear into a long, fenced passageway down the center of the camp called the tube, except for those indiscriminately chosen out of the lines by the SS. While ordered to carefully organize the discarded valuables of the passengers, the young men and women begin to unravel the mysterious truth about Treblinka, yet they are not allowed to ask questions. Only later, when the workers search for their loved ones to no avail do the Nazi&’s menacing grins tell them all they need to know--that they must keep working or they will also end up entering the tube.As the sobering truth about Treblinka sinks deeply into the workers&’ hearts, a few of the men and women begin to plan a revolt. Based on a magnificent true story, Trains to Treblinka deftly interweaves the lives of several revolt organizers who pledge everything for the chance to burn down the camp and escape into the woods. When the day comes for the uprising, the young workers are barely able to contain their excitement and they risk betraying their own motives under the watchful eyes of the continually distrusting Nazis.This well-researched, inspiring historical book is an authentic look at Treblinka written as a suspense novel. From Publishers Weekly BookLife Prize review, &“It may be difficult and heart-wrenching to read the in-depth details about the atrocities that occurred at the Treblinka concentration camp, but this book is hard to put down. Causey presents a powerful linear approach to the arrival of the victims, the losses, the physical and emotional tortures, and the escape attempts. This profoundly memorable story about Treblinka serves as a reminder that every individual victim's name is worth remembering.&” Learn about the beauty of hope, the tragedy of war, and the enduring power of the human heart, all in Trains to Treblinka.
