While Earth's elite survivors colonised Mars, its outcasts, the miscreants, criminals, fringe-dwellers, crackpot scientists, and sociopaths, fled inward, to Venus ('a place fit for scumbags'). Three generations later the denizens of Venus, strengthened by hardship forged in brutality and hellish conditions, are thriving. Attracted by the successful launch of Venus's second floating cloud city, the corporate fascists of the Mars Council launch an insurgency for control of Venus. Lauria, Arturo (illustrator). …

Hardback. Condition: Good. Amp'd from Ken Pisani, A LOS ANGELES TIMES BESTSELERComplete with painfully wry observations and delightfully caustic wit, this novel is a gritty exploration of what it's like to feel incomplete in the world. All five fingers up for this bitterly satisfying tale. --Kirkus Reviews(starred)Aaron is not a man on a hero's journey. In the question of fight or flight, he'll choose flight every time. So when a car accident leaves him suddenly asymmetrical, his left arm amputated, looking on the bright side just isn't something he's equipped to do. Forced to return to his boyhood home to recuperate, Aaron is confronted with an aging father (a former Olympic biathlete turned hoarder), a mother whose chosen to live in a yurt with a fireman twelve years her junior, and a well-meaning sister whose insufferable husband proves love isn't just blind, but also painfully stupid.As Aaron tries to make the world around him disappear in a haze of Vicodin and medical marijuana, the only true joy in his life comes from daily ninety-second radio spots of fun science facts: the speed of falling raindrops, batteries made out of starfish, and sexual responses triggered by ringtones - all told in the lush, disembodied voice of commentator Sunny Lee, with whom he falls helplessly, ridiculously, in love. Aaron's obsession with Sunny only hastens his downward spiral, like pouring accelerant on a fire. Pressured to do something - anything - to move his life forward, he takes the only job he can get. As a fish counter at the nearby dam, he concludes that an act of violent sacrifice to liberate the river might be his best, final option.…

Softcover. Condition: As New. Leichte Kratzer / Abnutzungen / Druckstellen. Ken Pisanis Debut ,Der Einarmige, sein Alligator und die sonnigen Seiten des Lebens" ist ein warmherziger Roman uber Sinnsuche, die wahre Liebe und die Kraft der Familie. Aaron, 40, geschieden, ist am Tiefpunkt seines Lebens angekommen: Nach einem schweren Autounfall musste ihm sein linker Arm amputiert werden. Nun kehrt er in seine Heimatstadt Paris in Illinois zuruck: Zuruck zu seinem Vater, der seine Zeit am liebsten vor dem Fernseher verbringt; zu seiner Mutter, die mit einem zwolf Jahre jungeren Feuerwehrmann in einer Jurte lebt; und naturlich zu Alligator Ali, dem mehr oder weniger zahmen Haustier seines Vaters. Frustriert von so viel Pech fuhrt Aaron penibel Listen daruber, was man mit einem Arm alles nicht machen kann. Doch dann trifft er zwei Menschen, die sein Leben fur immer verandern: den todkranken Jungen Jimmy und die bezaubernde Radiomoderatorin Sunny. Und ehe Aaron es sich versieht, steckt er mitten in einigen aussergewohnlichen Abenteuern, in denen es unter anderem um Staudamme und die Rettung des Blauen Breitschnauzstors geht.…
