Book Description
“A swift, gripping novel with a goose-pimple mix of scary science and near-future action.” —Greg Bear, New York Times–bestselling, Hugo & Nebula Award–winning author of The Unfinished Land June 30th, 1908—In Siberia’s remote Tunguska river basin, the most devastating cosmic collision ever recorded flattens hundreds of square miles with a blast a thousand times more powerful than the atomic bomb dropped on Hiroshima. Yet, more than a hundred years later, the cause of the cataclysm remains shrouded in mystery. Maverick astrophysicist Jack Adler thinks he’s figured it out: a submicroscopic black hole, smaller than an atom, more massive than a mountain, made impact with the earth. Jack believes that this fantastic object is still deep inside the Earth, burrowing through its mantle in an orbit that will end only when it has devoured the entire planet. Meanwhile, secret agent Marianna Bonaventure enlists the help of Jonathan Knox, an analyst with an uncanny ability to find hidden relationships between seemingly disparate people and events, to search for three missing scientists and infiltrate the floating headquarters of a Russian industrialist. Together, these three must battle a global conspiracy intent upon exploiting the awesome power of the back hole--a power that can transform the world—or end it. “A swift, gripping novel with a goose-pimple mix of scary science and near-future action” —Greg Bear, New York Times–bestselling, Hugo & Nebula Award–winning author of The Unfinished Land “An action-packed thriller into perilous realms of black hole physics.” —David Brin, New York Times–bestselling, Hugo & Nebula Award–winning author of Colony High

T.C. Boyle Stories II

Publisher: Penguin
ISBN: 0143125869
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 944
Book Description
The second volume of collected short fiction from the New York Times bestselling author of The Tortilla Curtain, featuring fifty-eight short stories that “mix brilliance with high-concept pyrotechnics” (Los Angeles Times), including fourteen never-before-published tales “Whether he’s writing about survival in a wasted environment or people and animals coming unhinged, Boyle never fails to captivate, to deliver his ideas within the conveyance of first-class storytelling.”—San Francisco Chronicle By turns mythic and realistic, farcical and tragic, ironic and moving, T.C. Boyle’s stories map a wide range of human emotions. The fifty-eight stories in this volume, gathered from Wild Child, Tooth and Claw, and After the Plague, plus fourteen marvelous new tales, reflect his mordant wit, emotional power, and exquisite prose. Along with the satires and tall tales that established his reputation, T.C. Boyle Stories II includes stories speaking to contemporary social issues, from air rage to abortion doctors, and character-driven tales of quiet power and passion. Others capture timeless themes, from first love and its consequences to confrontations with mortality, or explore the conflict between civilization and wildness. Boyle engagingly tests his characters’ emotional and physical endurance, whether a group of giants being bred as weapons of war in a fictional Latin American country, a Russian woman who ignores dire warnings in returning to her radiation-contaminated home, a hermetic writer who gets more than a break in his routine when he travels to receive a minor award, or a man in a California mountain town who goes a little too far in his concern for a widow. T.C. Boyle Stories II is a grand career statement from a writer whose creativity knows no bounds.
