Пэдди Крю0.0 "My name is Yip Tolroy & I am a mute. I have made not a sound since the day of my birth, October 2nd, 1815. I will say that my life has been something of a trial but such is God's wish & so I must tell my story here on the page."
Yip Tolroy and his fiery Mama run the general store in Heron's Creek, Georgia. An uneventful life, until gold is discovered nearby and Yip is caught up in a bloody, grievous crime forcing him to flee. On the run, friendless and alone, he meets Dud Carter a savvy but unlikely companion. Together, they embark on a journey that thrusts them unwittingly into a world of menace and violence, of lust and revenge.

But what will they find there if they ever return?
10 человек были тщательно отобраны для бета-теста беспрецедентно эффективной системы цифровой слежки, созданной IT-гением Саем Бакстером. Эта система на основе искусственного интеллекта способна выследить кого угодно и где угодно на Земле. Отобранные стали Нулями — исчезли, чтобы в течение 30 дней не попасться изощренным алгоритмам Бакстера. Кто не попадется, получит 3 миллиона долларов. Однако не стоит на это рассчитывать — ни у кого из Нулей нет ни единого шанса. Так думает Бакстер.
Но так не думает Кейтлин Дэй, Нуль-10. Для нее ставка в начавшейся игре — вовсе не деньги, а нечто гораздо более важное. Эту чудаковатую библиотекаршу, до сих пор живущую в уютном аналоговом мирке, собирались показательно изловить в два счета. Но внезапно она начинает делать такие хитроумные ходы, что ставит в тупик и цифровое всевидящее око, и обслуживающую его огромную команду экспертов…
Присцилла Моррис0.0 Sarajevo, spring 1992. Each night, nationalist gangs erect barricades, splitting the diverse city into ethnic enclaves; each morning, the residents – whether Muslim, Croat or Serb – push the makeshift barriers aside.
When violence finally spills over, Zora, an artist and teacher, sends her husband and elderly mother to safety with her daughter in England. Reluctant to believe that hostilities will last more than a handful of weeks, she stays behind while the city falls under siege. As the assault deepens and everything they love is laid to waste, black ashes floating over the rooftops, Zora and her friends are forced to rebuild themselves, over and over. Theirs is a breathtaking story of disintegration, resilience and hope.
In 1963, in a Siberian gulag, former nuclear specialist Valery Kolkhanov has mastered what it takes to survive: the right connections to the guards for access to food and cigarettes, the right pair of warm boots to avoid frostbite, and the right attitude toward the small pleasures of life. But on one ordinary day, all that changes: Valery's university mentor steps in and sweeps Valery from the frozen prison camp to a mysterious unnamed town hidden within a forest so damaged it looks like the trees have rusted from within.
Here, Valery is Dr. Kolkhanov once more, and he's expected to serve out his prison term studying the effect of radiation on local animals. But as Valery begins his work, he is struck by the questions his research raises: what, exactly, is being hidden from the thousands who live in the town? And if he keeps looking for answers, will he live to serve out his sentence?
Based on real events in a surreal Soviet city, and told with bestselling author Natasha Pulley's inimitable style, The Half Life of Valery K is a sweeping historical adventure.
