It had been like this since she arrived that morning, and her mood seemed to be blackening. Now that she saw me back in normal clothing, maybe the situation was beginning to sink in. "Listen," I said, trying to be diplomatic, "maybe we got off to a bad start." All I got was silence from her. I looked around. Such a nice dash. And those controls, so well designed. And a flappy-paddle gearbox. What technology "It's a nice set of wheels you got here," I said. "You have real good taste in automobiles." Vivian looked over. "You brought it home without telling me. I wanted a Prius."

From Inside The Novel...
Digby waved the remote. "Let the arm go around you."
Kiki shot him a suspicious look, but she still nodded.
The robot stretched its arm over. Then it positioned its body to lie beside her. It felt like an awkward date in high school. "Hey baby," came the robotic voice.
"Why don't we spoon?"
Kiki burst out laughing.
"What's so funny?" asked Digby. He wasn't amused.
"Yeah, baby, what's so funny?" said the robot.
Kiki laughed even harder.
"This is the most significant advance in mankind's history. It is the result of years... no, decades of hard work. It has not been perfected just for you to get the giggle fits."
Kiki calmed down. "Okay, are you serious about this? What the hell is it? I thought robots were used to build cars and microwaves."
Digby stood up. He looked like he was about to give a speech. "This is the world's first robotic sexual harassment simulator."
Kiki rolled her eyes. "It's a sex robot. Built by nerds in Japan. Who are afraid to talk to women."
"It's a simulator. It's used for training our intelligence agents on how to take advantage at the right time."
Kiki took a closer look. The thing was certainly creepy.
"It's programmed with over three hundred different sex-hungry male personality types. From Syrian diplomat-" Digby pressed a button on his remote. "To City of London hedge fund manager."

Описание: What if you went back in time to stop the September 11th terrorist attacks? One man did. This is his story. Time is running out for Joshua Sinclair-he's stuck in the year 1987-with only one mission-warn the world of the events of September 11th, 2001-the only way to prevent his father's death at the Pentagon. But no one believes what he has to say. Even worse, a group of CIA officers are tracking his every move, trying to stop him at every possible turn. With no one in the past he can trust, Joshua must take fate into his own hands-from Chicago, Washington, and West Berlin...to the battlefields of Soviet-occupied Afghanistan. From inside the novel... "They must bring everything in from Kabul-fuel, water, rations. They're bleeding their treasuries pretending to be kings." Joshua was distracted by a noise from the sky. An airplane approached. An Antonov cargo jet buzzed over their heads. Almost too close. But it was the color that burned into his mind. The plane was painted orange. Neon pink and bright orange. "What the hell?" muttered Joshua. "We're going to have front row seats." The plane circled around the valley and began its approach. It was a gigantic airplane. One of the Antonov models was the largest plane ever built to carry cargo and passengers. Joshua was terrible at identifying aircraft. The pilot flew the plane as if he was some sort of daredevil, swooping down after he had finished a full 360 around the base. Like he was landing in the Alaska bush. Except the plane had six jet engines. Some kind of horn sounded from the hills below. Al-Zawairi passed him a pair of binoculars. "You might want these." Joshua took them. Followed the plane as it landed and taxied in. Then the air craft exploded.

Описание: "The man was clearly insane. He wanted to kill them all. The Baby Boomers. The Generation Xers. Hated them worse than lepers. He wanted to kill them in their cars." In the tradition of Infinite Jest and White Noise comes a novel of a darkly satirical alternate future... Los Angeles. The mid-2020's. Rock MacLean is an A-list actor at the height of his fame...handsome and wealthy. But middle age is creeping up. With nowhere to go but down, his wife is threatening to leave him and take their two little girls. No wonder-even Rock thinks he might be a sex addict. Far from having it all, Rock's about to lose everything. And he doesn't even care. But when a drug deal with Nicaraguan gangsters goes sour, Rock finds himself in the path of Dewey Lane-a fanatical army colonel with a plan to wipe Southern California off the map. Trapped in a mountainside bunker, Rock watches helplessly as Dewey sets off an electronic pulse-causing the simultaneous destruction of every automobile in Los Angeles. But that's only phase one of Dewey's plan. Phase two? Nuclear Armageddon. And only Rock can stop it. 1980 "The Year the Past Disappeared" is a novel where delusion, sex, and cheap weapons of mass terror intersect in a satirical look at a materialistic and cynical future. From inside the novel... "Spare me the speech. The plan's in motion. There's no way to stop me." "You're going to blow the top off this mountain?" Dewey laughed. "No, I'm going to blow up the crust of the earth under Los Angeles. Let it catch fire. I suppose you had time to examine the tools where I left you the last time." "Yeah, but-" "Next to that conveyor belt is a bore hole. Reaching down twenty-five kilometers into the earth. It's super hot. That's where the bomb will drop, hitting terminal velocity in a vacuum, once the air is sucked out of the hole." "What is this?" said Rock. "Some kind of science experiment?" "The computer simulation-" "Bullshit. You have no idea what you're doing. That bomb won't destroy anything underground. The Soviets have been doing this for almost a century." "Don't be so sure." "Tell me, did you create the tsunami, too?" Dewey smiled. "I doubt it. But who knows what causes earthquakes, right? This IS Los Angeles. Whole lotta shaking going on." "And you think the army hasn't noticed you have one of their warheads?" "They've lost track of dozens. In China and Africa. One more won't make much of a difference. Besides, plenty of people in the government know who I am and what I intend to do. They've been surveilling me for months, but they have done nothing. The spies are hoping for an increase in their budgets. Most of those bureaucrats in Washington and Chicago can't stand California anyway. Tell them Los Angeles is going to fall into the ocean and they'd applaud."

Описание: "There were live measurements of reactor temperatures. Three other buildings that hadn't exploded. It was like a movie. Will they catch fire? Blow up? Melt down? Or won't they...?" Readers who enjoyed Youth in Revolt and Bridget Jones's Diary won't want to miss this tale of a pale-skinned foreigner navigating life in Japan. How to Make Love To Foreigners is the diary of Randy Campbell, whose life, after moving to Japan, has taken him places he never expected. Fresh off the plane, he faces the challenges of learning Japanese, navigating the Tokyo train system, and compiling a list of women he's quick to bed, but terrified of committing to. With all this going on around him, Randy has to deal with threats from yakuza while filming a documentary, the racist comments of a girl who is in love with him, and feelings of helplessness when, on March 11, 2011, an earthquake strikes eastern Japan, unleashing a deadly tsunami that envelops a nearby coastline. With a radioactive wind drifting towards Tokyo from the crippled Fukushima nuclear plant, Randy discovers the terror and absurdities that arise during a devastating catastrophe. Inviting us in on the feelings you go through when everything-your career, the place you live, perhaps... even your life-seems about to be wiped away forever.
From inside the book... "These buildings were important to national security. There were FBI, secret service, and CIA offices in some of these buildings. They needed guarantees that if another bombing took place, no one could just walk in and peruse their files." "Uh-huh, but if I was the owner, why would I destroy my own buildings?" "These buildings were a terrorist target. They were the tallest buildings in New York. After the first bombing there were meetings about structural integrity, potential casualties, financial losses. But never in all these discussions did anyone imagine that somebody would try to fly a plane into these buildings. Or if they did, it would be something small, not a commercial airliner. You have to think about this not from our point of view, but from the perspective of 1994. They really believed that someone was, at some point, going to drive another truck into the basement. Finish what they'd tried to do in '93. This became a real panic after that Timothy McVeigh thing in Oklahoma City." "Oh, yeah, that's right. That was '95." "Yeah. The guy parked a fertilizer truck next to the building, and the whole thing came down. So the consensus at the time was that someone might try to blow up the buildings again. From the street level. Or the basement. Hell, even the subway was identified as a possible route. What no one wanted to talk about was that if you blew up the building from the basement, the entire structure might topple over. Like a domino. Anything in a thousand foot radius could be destroyed, including the other tower." I took a sip of my drink. "That seems highly unlikely." "I'm sure the engineers who designed Chernobyl said the same thing. Anyway, they came up with a plan that would prevent the building from toppling over." "A controlled demolition." "Exactly. A completely vertical collapse. So the building wouldn't kill as many people. I mean, nowadays there are residential apartments in that area." I looked at Dewey. I was interested, but unconvinced. How many others bought into the same crazy theories?

Описание: In a small town in northern Japan they celebrate the first national holidays of spring a little differently... a little deadlier... than everywhere else... In the spirit of The Hunger Games and The Long Walk, comes a contest even more deadlier...
Dewey Lane is sick of being an English teacher in Japan. His beautiful Swedish girlfriend has just dumped him for a Tokyo banker. But he's already paid for a vacation with his ex and her friends-to a famous hot spring resort, deep in the Japanese countryside. Waiting for the girls to arrive, he discovers the town is celebrating their first annual "Two Day March."
The longer Dewey stays, however, the more he learns about the event's sinister nature. Day one is euthanasia day-where the young have at the old, taking out the weak, the senile, and the embittered. But on day two, the elderly take revenge...with their own brand of homicidal traditional justice
From inside the novel... They paused and sat down. Everyone was exhausted. It was slow going in the dark, and the hike from the car had been mostly uphill. Dewey knew that it would be even steeper after the bridge. He watched as the mayor sat down next to Bibi. Felt a pang of jealousy. "So you see, Miss Bibi, today we have been killing as many of our elderly as possible. They are not allowed to fight back. They can only hide, or shelter in a field at the top of the mountain. But tomorrow, the tables are turned. They are allowed to kill the adults below the age of sixty. And we are not allowed to fight back. Nor can we use weapons. There is also the fact that we are outnumbered." "By how many?" asked Bibi. "Easily four or five to one," said Dewey. "The only way to survive is to get back to the town of Kita-Yamanouchi. That is our safe area. We begin the march again at dawn. So you see, searching for you is robbing us of precious time." "Then why don't you have it at night?" asked Bibi. A perfectly obvious question. "Too dangerous," said the mayor. "Someone could get injured. Or fall off a cliff."

Описание:
A tech billionaire seeks revenge that will kill millions... but first he plans to take out the half-Japanese secret agent who is a thorn in his side...
A philanthropist and visionary in the computer world, Gargamel Tossert is the last person authorities would suspect of bombing a Los Angeles skyscraper-connecting California's internet to the rest of the world. Unfortunately for him, Kiki Claymore is right on his trail. Why? Because Tossert has brainwashed Kiki's old roommate, Aislinn Rousseau, as his own agent of evil.
But when Kiki is forced to secretly escape the United States, all because of Tossert's actions, she refuses to stay undercover. Kiki demands to infiltrate Tossert's network, and rescue Aislinn from his influence. The trail leads to a secret bunker under Katarina, a historic neighborhood of Stockholm, Sweden.
With the unlikely help of the Hell's Angels, Kiki races against time to save her friend. And stop Tossert's plan to bring the world to its knees-by destroying every automobile built in the last twenty years with a deadly computer virus.
From inside the novel...
"One more thing, for the next forty minutes you can't stand up, okay?"
Kiki looked to the ceiling. There wasn't much room anyway. "Why not?"
"We're only flying twenty feet above sea level. Less than the height of a normal suburban house. At that altitude the uplift is so fragile that even the slightest variation in weight could send us into the water. So head to the restroom before we take off."
"Below the radar," said Tin Man. "But after forty minutes they have to gain altitude. The pilot loses the ability to judge distance. Over the water there's nothing for perspective. The chance of a crash increases."
"Until Mei turns off the smoking sign, okay?" said Digby.
Kiki sat back in her seat as the man in the polo shirt helped Digby raise the stairs and lock the door. Ground crew directed them onto the tarmac. After fifteen or so minutes the plane took off. At first they climbed, then came down again. Kiki looked out the window. The ocean was so close you could almost touch it.
KA-PLUNK
The jet wobbled violently. Then stabilized. Salt spray splashed against Kiki's window.
"Sorry about that," came Mei's voice over the intercom. "Something was in our way."
Kiki looked out as the jet shot past a cruise ship. No more than a hundred feet away.
The very same boat which had woken her that morning.

From Inside The Novel...
This is where things got a bit weird. Meisner was still wearing a towel-Kiki saw Tatyana's hand disappear under it. An instant later the man's face shot up in agony: "AAAAhhhhhhhhhaaaaaa...what are you doing?"
Tatyana had latched on to one of his more delicate parts. "You don't like my technique?" she asked.
"Uh-uh."
"We want to know," said Tatyana, "who you've been ferrying."
Meisner squirmed. "What do you mean? I don't know what you're talking about."
Kiki saw Tatyana's wrist make another twist. Kiki leaned down. She was face-to-face with the guy. "Look, I don't like what she's doing either, but this is going to go on until she gets what she wants. We know who you are, what you do, and we've been reading your e-mails for the last six weeks. We've got a pretty good picture of your activities, and your friends. We don't care what you're doing. We don't want to have any contact with you, at all. But we're looking for someone, who you escorted to the airport this morning. We know you don't know his name. We just want to know where he was going."
Meisner was silent.
Kiki leaned in and whispered. "She's ripped them off before. Never on purpose. But accidents happen, you know. But that was in Minsk."
