Bassora Express

Autor: Mehdi Benchelah

Número de Páginas: 128

En Irak, six soldats américains – cinq hommes et une femme – décident de déserter pour s'emparer de l'Express de Bassora, un vieux navire rempli de pétrole de contrebande. Leur objectif : mettre la main sur sa formidable cargaison d'or noir pour s'échapper du piège irakien les poches pleines. Ce sont six antihéros : Justin Brady, l'étudiant de la côte Est engagé pour le college money ; Marlon Jones, le petit truand noir d'Oklahoma City ; Ramon Mendoza, le chicano de Los Angeles fuyant de puissants ennemis ; Lexington Parker, l'amateur de jeux vidéo dont le QI plafonne par beau temps à 75 ; le sergent Douglas Pearson, ancien courtier de Wall Street, en délicatesse avec sa firme, et Helen Vance, une jeune réserviste du Mississipi au sourire énigmatique. L'aventure se révélera pourtant plus compliquée que prévue et leur périple chaotique à travers l'Irak se transformera rapidement en conspiration burlesque. Dans la lignée de MASH et de Catch 22, Bassora Express raconte de manière décalée l'errance d'une bande de pieds-nickelés en uniforme cherchant à échapper au conflit le plus absurde du début du XXIe siècle.

The Marvelous Ones

Autor: Prof. Randol Contreras

Número de Páginas: 341

An intimate portrait of LA gang members turning to drugs, nostalgia, and religion as they age and fight to stay relevant in a new era. Once celebrated in the gang world as rebels who defied the established prison order, veterano Maravilla gang members now grapple with the consequences of leading violent and drug-ridden lives. At once thrilling and tender, The Marvelous Ones sheds light on how these aging gang members struggle to stay meaningful in the face of addiction, violent trauma, and a rapidly changing East Los Angeles. Randol Contreras spent close to a decade studying the legendary Maravilla gangs of East LA, who made waves in the 1990s for their rebellion against the most powerful prison gang in the United States: the Mexican Mafia, or La Eme. These men granted Contreras unique access to their experiences, revealing how family members shun them, how jail and prison worsen them, how the church and drug treatment redeem them, and how their brightest moments lie in their pasts as legends of the California gang world. The Marvelous Ones gives human faces to the suffering and resilience of some of the most marginalized members of our society.

Mesa

Número de Páginas: 134

From the prehistoric Native Americans to the first wave of pioneers in 1877 and all who came later, the desert lands east of Phoenix have been a rich and fertile home to a wide diversity of people. Surmounting the early challenges of settling the mesa top and moving water uphill gave rise to a resilient agricultural community famous for cotton, citrus, grapes, and other crops. The boom years that began in the 1950s ushered in a new wave of industry and change to the city of Mesa. Large corporations created jobs, new freeways formed a corridor into the heart of the community, educational and health care facilities improved and expanded, and the advent of air conditioning brought tourists from all over the world. Now boasting a population of over 450,000, Mesa has truly evolved from its pioneer beginnings to a modern city in the Valley of the Sun.

Moisture Management

Autor: Kenneth Labich

Número de Páginas: 141

Meet Mark Dolan, former major-league baseball player, now a freelance detective with a gift for extreme street combat and a history of stumbling headlong into trouble. Dolan’s story begins in New York, with a news report about yet another brand-name athlete accused of using drugs. Dolan takes the case and he crisscrosses America, asking questions nobody wants to answer. He is soon caught up in the world of big-time professional sports, where careers end with the prick of a syringe, star players earn millions for a 30-second sneaker commercial, Internet bookies risk billions each weekend, and whores and hustlers of every class scramble for a piece of the action. Along the way, Dolan runs into hired killers, loathsome villains, unforgettable women—and fresh reasons to question the character of his fellow man.

Número de Páginas: 309

Michel Perrin, âgé d’une quarantaine d’années, professeur à l’École d’ingénieurs Bréguet de Paris, est connu du grand public depuis 1953, époque à laquelle il se rendit dans le Haut-Amazone. Avant d’aller en Amérique du Sud, il avait déjà fait de nombreux voyages. Il séjourna plusieurs fois en Afrique, où il descendit en pirogue la Cazamance, traversa le désert de Lybie et, plus tard, une partie de l’Égypte, et se rendit en mission en Éthiopie. En avril 1953, il entreprend un voyage d’études et de documentation scientifique en Amérique du sud, patronné par le ministère de l’Éducation nationale et l’UNESCO. Il se propose d’étudier les sources et la vallée de l’Amazone, géant des fleuves du monde. Il commence par parcourir tout seul, pendant plusieurs semaines, la Bolivie, sillonne en kayak le lac Titicaca, grand lac des Andes à près de 4.000 mètres d’altitude ; puis, de Cusco, la cité impériale des Incas, il parvient à 5.240 mètres aux sources véritables de l’Amazone, ce dont il rend compte par des communications agréées par la Société de géographie du Pérou, le Conseil national de géographie du Brésil, et...

The Deathguards

Autor: Phyllis Ann Karr

Número de Páginas: 230

The Timelines Keep Trying to Realign! Our neighboring timeline also had its 20th-century warfare. But Act II of their Last Great War, 1939-1945, lined up somewhat differently, with Russia, India, Spain, and Japan versus England, France, Germany, and the Reformed States of America. Now, in the decade following the War, the small university town of Hodag Crossing in the state of Minnemagantic, along with the rest of the world, is hunting down deathguards -- the war criminals of Stalin's Eugenics Farms and India's Kali Camps. These include the college years of Clement Czarny, who has learned that all a vampire like him has to do to function in a world filled with crosses, sunlight, and the rest of it, is live like a saint. Meaning that, as a vampire, he must forgive. Everything. Whether it's a would-be Van Helsing who wanted to stake Clement himself, or a deathguard who helped kill millions. Everything. Even if it costs his own romance. And maybe that's what makes vampires unfit to live among normal, honest, righteous people.
