Motor Mouth A Barnaby Novel By Janet Evanovich Book Description Miami is still freakin' humid. The nights are even hotter. And there's a body on ice. And that's just the beginning of this adrenaline-rush of a hot-wired ride from phenomenal number one New York Times bestselling author Janet Evanovich. A woman with a taste for speed and a talent for breaking the rules, Barney also knows a little too much about cheating. First there was Hooker and that salesclerk. Now she's convinced one of the competitors is up to no good on the track. Snooping to find evidence, Hooker and Barney 'borrow' a NASCAR hauler. Turns out, the hauler is carrying two race cars and a dead guy. It looks like Barney and Hooker are facing multiple counts of grand theft auto and homicide. So buckle up as Barney, Hooker, a 150-pound bundle of Saint Bernard love named Beans, and the Super Cigar Ladies Felicia and Rosa shift into gear on a wild race around South Florida and Concord, North Carolina. Everything you always wanted to know about righteous indignation, stealing an eighteen-wheeler, and sex in the fast lane. (immagine) Categoria: Books: novel/sci fi/horror

(W) Brian J. Robb Brian J. Robb, writer for Doctor Who Magazine and editor of Torchwood Magazine, tackles each decade of Doctor Who through a unique political, pop cultural, and historical viewpoint, exploring the links between contemporary Britain and the stories the series told, as well as how such links kept the show popular. Chapters range from discussions on the cultural and political relevance of the monsters of the 1960s to the late 1980s cancellation of the show and the ways in which a narrowly focused, dedicated fandom contributed to the show's demise. This history also analyzes the new series to reveal what has made it so popular and how it reflects real world issues. (immagine) Categoria: Books: novel/sci fi/horror

(W) Lori Handeland When speaking of William Shakespeare, legends and rumors abound. Well, here's the truth: Will was not only one of the greatest writers in the English language, he was also a necromancer. In exchange for a front row seat to history, Will supplied zombie armies. Sure, he's sorry now. Hey, he's refused to raise a shuffling, shambling corpse for years. And the talent - which comes only to a necromancer who's become a vampire - is extremely rare. So why are there so many zombies strolling around London? Will needs to find out. (immagine) Categoria: Books: novel/sci fi/horror
