    Джо Спорк чинит часы. Он пытается забыть о наследии своего отца, одного из самых могущественных гангстеров Лондона, и вести тихую незаметную жизнь. Эди Банистер давным-давно была шпионкой на Службе Ее Величества, но постарела и ушла в отставку. Все идет своим чередом, пока Джо не приводит в порядок совершенно необычный заводной механизм и тем самым не запускает машину Судного дня, изобретенную еще в 1950-х годах.

  • Titanium Noir Ник Харкуэй
    ISBN: 9780593535363
    Год издания: 2023
    Издательство: Knopf
    A virtuosic mashup of Philip K. Dick and Raymond Chandler by way of Marvel—the story of a detective investigating the murder of a Titan, one of society’s most powerful, medically-enhanced elites

    “Cross-genre brilliance from the superbly talented Nick Harkaway.” —William Gibson, New York Times best-selling author of Agency

    Cal Sounder is a detective working for the police on certain very sensitive cases. So when he’s called in to investigate a homicide at a local apartment, he’s surprised by the routineness of it all. But when he arrives on scene, Cal soon learns that the victim—Roddy Tebbit, an otherwise milquetoast techie—is well over seven feet tall. And although he doesn’t look a day over thirty, he is ninety-one years old. Tebbit is a Titan—one of this dystopian, near-future society’s genetically altered elites. And this case is definitely Cal’s thing.

    There are only a few thousand Titans worldwide, thanks to Stefan Tonfamecasca’s discovery of the controversial T7 genetic therapy, which elevated his family to godlike status. T7 turns average humans into near-immortal distortions of themselves—with immense physical proportions to match their ostentatious, unreachable lifestyles. A dead Titan is big news . . . a murdered Titan is unimaginable. But these modified magnates are Cal’s specialty. In fact, his own ex-girlfriend, Athena, is a Titan. And not just any—she is Stefan’s daughter, heir to the massive Tonfamecasca empire.

    As the murder investigation intensifies, Cal begins to unravel the complicated threads of what should have been a straightforward case, and it becomes clear he’s on the trail of a crime whose roots run deep into the dark heart of the world.

    Язык: Русский
    Гонзо Любич и его лучший друг неразлучны с рождения. Они вместе выросли, вместе изучали кун-фу, вместе учились, а потом отправились на войну, которая привела к концу света, самому страшному и необычному апокалипсису, который не ожидал никто. Теперь, когда мир лежит в руинах, а над пустошами клубятся странные черные облака, из которых могут появиться настоящие монстры, цивилизованная и упорядоченная жизнь теплится лишь вокруг Джоргмундской Трубы. И именно ее отправляются чинить друзья вместе со своим отрядом. Но они быстро понимают, что это задание гораздо опаснее, чем казалось на первый взгляд, и вскоре попадают в невероятную переделку, которая приведет их в самое сердце компании, владеющей Трубой, а также к истокам войны, ввергнувшей мир в хаос. Правда, это всего лишь завязка, на самом деле все еще сложнее...

    Это мир, в котором следят за каждым. Это мир, в котором демократия достигла абсолютной прозрачности. Каждое действие фиксируется, каждое слово записывается, а Система имеет доступ к мыслям и воспоминаниям своих граждан — все во имя существования самого безопасного общества в истории.

  • Gnomon Nick Harkaway
    ISBN: 1786090090, 978-1786090096
    Год издания: 2018
    Издательство: Windmill Books
    Язык: Английский
    In the world of Gnomon, citizens are constantly observed and democracy has reached a pinnacle of 'transparency.' Every action is seen, every word is recorded, and the System has access to its citizens' thoughts and memories--all in the name of providing the safest society in history.

    When suspected dissident Diana Hunter dies in government custody, it marks the first time a citizen has been killed during an interrogation. The System doesn't make mistakes, but something isn't right about the circumstances surrounding Hunter's death. Mielikki Neith, a trusted state inspector and a true believer in the System, is assigned to find out what went wrong. Immersing herself in neural recordings of the interrogation, what she finds isn't Hunter but rather a panorama of characters within Hunter's psyche: a lovelorn financier in Athens who has a mystical experience with a shark; a brilliant alchemist in ancient Carthage confronting the unexpected outcome of her invention; an expat Ethiopian painter in London designing a controversial new video game, and a sociopathic disembodied intelligence from the distant future.

    Embedded in the memories of these impossible lives lies a code which Neith must decipher to find out what Hunter is hiding. In the static between these stories, Neith begins to catch glimpses of the real Diana Hunter--and, alarmingly, of herself. The staggering consequences of what she finds will reverberate throughout the world.

    A dazzling, panoramic achievement, and Nick Harkaway's most brilliant work to date, Gnomon is peerless and profound, captivating and irreverent, as it pierces through strata of reality and consciousness, and illuminates how to set a mind free. It is a truly accomplished novel from a mind possessing a matchless wit infused with a deep humanity.

    Sergeant Lester Ferris is a good man in need of a rest. After a long career of being shot at, he’s about to be retired. The mildly larcenous, backwater island of Mancreu is the ideal place to serve out his time, a former British colony in legal limbo, belching toxic clouds of waste and facing imminent destruction by an international community concerned for their own safety. The perfect place for Lester is also the perfect location for a multinational array of shady businesses. Hence the Black Fleet of illicit ships lurking in the bay: spy stations, arms dealers, offshore hospitals, money-laundering operations, drug factories and torture…

    The Jorgmund Pipe is the backbone of the world, and it's on fire. Gonzo Lubitsch, professional hero and troubleshooter, is hired to put it out - but there's more to the fire, and the Pipe itself, than meets the eye.

Equal parts raucous adventure, comic odyssey and romantic epic, "The Gone-Away World" is a story of - among other things - love and loss; of ninjas, pirates, politics; of curious heroism in strange and dangerous places; and of a friendship stretched beyond its limits.
