Martian Chronicles

As the ash and chaos from Mount Rainiers eruption swirled and finally settled, the story of the Greenloop massacre has passed unnoticed, unexamined . . . until now. But the journals of resident Kate Holland, recovered from the towns bloody wreckage, capture a tale too harrowing - and too earth-shattering in its implications - to be forgotten. In these pages, Max Brooks brings Kates extraordinary account to light for the first time, faithfully reproducing her words alongside his own extensive investigations into the massacre and the beasts behind it, once thought legendary but now known to be terrifyingly real. Kates is a tale of unexpected strength and resilience, of humanitys defiance in the face of a terrible predators gaze, and inevitably, of savagery and death. Yet it is also far more than that. Because if what Kate Holland saw in those days is real, then we must accept the impossible. We must accept that the creature known as Bigfoot walks among us - and that it is a beast of terrible strength and ferocity. Part survival narrative, part bloody horror tale, part scientific journey into the boundaries between truth and fiction, this is a Bigfoot story as only Max Brooks could chronicle it - and like none youve ever read before. ______________________________________ Devolution is one of the greatest horror novels Ive ever read. The characters soar, the ideas sing, and its all going to scare the living daylights out of you. Blake Crouch, author of Dark Matter and Recursion Devolution is spell binding. It is a horror story about how anyone, especially those who think they are above it, can slowly devolve into primal, instinctual behaviour. I was gripped from the first page to the last! Les Stroud, creator of Survivorman Another triumph from Max Brooks! First Zombies. Now Bigfoot. I cant wait until he turns every monster from childhood into an intelligent, entertaining page turner. Stephen Chbosky, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Imaginary Friend and The Perks of Being a Wallflower Brooks packs his plot with action, information, and atmosphere, and captures both the foibles and the heroism of his characters. This slow-burning page-turner will appeal to Brooks devoted fans and speculative fiction readers who enjoy tales of monsters. Publishers Weekly Devolution is by Max Brooks, who wrote the stone cold classic that is World War Z, so I will follow him pretty much anywhere. Few things are pleasanter to read when cosy in bed than utterly dreadful dystopian things happening to somebody else. Jenny Colgan

Герберт Уэллс (1866-1946) знаменит прежде всего своими фантастическими произведениями, основные темы которых (полеты в космосе, атомное оружие, применение лазера, идея невидимости) в современной литературе стали общим местом, а некоторые сменили жанровую принадлежность, обретя реалистичность не только в книгах, но и в обыденной жизни. Роман "Война миров" (1897) изображает вторжение марсиан на Землю: целью своей агрессии они выбрали старую добрую Англию. Техническое, интеллектуальное и военное превосходство инопланетных захватчиков, кажется, не оставляет людям шанса, пусть даже некоторые из них демонстрируют силу духа и отвагу. Не героизм одиночек поможет землянам выжить в бойне, устроенной пришельцами, а простое везение: куда страшнее артиллерии для марсиан окажутся обычные бактерии.
