The Strangeness
ISBN: 9781466309050 / Angielski / Miękka / 2011 / 182 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. In these 42 "sudden fictions" - fictional stories of about 500 words each - Tom Nugent asks, among several other burning questions: "Who put the "dih" in the dih-dih-dih?" He fails to answer the question, however. Still, he gives it his best. In one of the stranger narratives to be found in this thoroughly odd collection, a tormented English 101 instructor goes eyeball to eyeball with a tank full of floating jellyfish at the Chicago Aquarium. Can the "jellies" help him understand the true nature of human reality? Other stories focus on a short-tempered man with a glass eye, a senile Irishman...

The Stringer: Who Killed Harry Zalenka?
ISBN: 9781469920313 / Angielski / Miękka / 2012 / 200 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Who Killed Harry Zalenka? The news is all over CNN. A dead U.S. Congressman has just washed up on the Maryland shore of the Chesapeake Bay. Which means it's time for Tommy Moon to go to work. Moon is a Baltimore-based "stringer" for People magazine. Usually, he covers stories about famous people in the news - celebrities like Oprah Winfrey and Donald Trump. But this time, the veteran stringer won't be filing the usual fluff. Because a mole is loose at the CIA - and the mole doesn't want Moon to find out what happened to Harry Zalenka. As the action heats up and the odds against his survival...

In the dystopian future the majority of the country is under the totalitarian rule of a multinational scientific corporation known as BOSS, Believers of Sacred Science. The blue hood is an ominous master assassin; the boogeyman in the shadows and the tool of submission for the corporation. No one ever sees him, no one ever hears him. The only evidence of his presence is the sudden absence of loved ones, colleagues, and acclaimed figures. But what happens when a tool grows a soul? What happens when the purity of death is marred by the convolution of right and wrong? Ironically, those answers...

Paddles and Water
ISBN: 9781505912449 / Angielski / Miękka / 2015 / 28 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. I climbed into my orange plastic Kayak and zoomed off, to the green shallows of Young Cove. Just what is it that makes paddling this waterway such pleasure? Sometimes I think it is the Kayak Music. That is the musical sound of the hull traveling through the water on a quiet day. It is constantly changing and it is always calming to me. As I come to the end of the cove I notice that there is no evidence of the shipwreck which had been rusting and disintegrating in the shallows for more than a decade. I don't know who owned the boat or the story, but it is like the couple thousand boats which...

ISBN: 9781504036900 / Angielski / Miękka / 2016 / 268 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. In the heart of the Congo is rumored to live a dinosaur called Mokele-Mbembe, or the god-beast. A handful of scientific expeditions have searched for it over the years with little success, but Nugent relied less on science than a desire to document the obscure. He made his way by dugout canoe and foot to Lake Tele, reputed home of the brontosaurus-like creature. It's an environment little changed since the age of dinosaurs and he spent weeks paddling and trekking the area. He finally spotted a periscope-shaped object moving through the water. But when he tried to get closer, his guides...

African Boundaries
ISBN: 9781855673724 / Angielski / Twarda / 1998 / 290 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Boundaries are inherently artificial - they interpose barriers between people which do not exist by any fundamental law of human organization. The contrast between the intentions of those who police boundaries and those who are affected by them is part of the paradoxical nature of boundaries throughout the world. In Africa the paradoxes were accentuated, as colonial powers constructed new boundaries for their own purposes, altering the pre-colonial perceptions of the boundary and its functions.
