Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Often times the history of the Miss. Delta is lost in the effort to make more exciting and glamorize its past. The travail of the ordinary working classes, the plebeians and lower elements, who exerted most of the physical toil and sweat and anguish of clearing this land, draining its forbidding mosquito swamps, saving it from the raging river, then bringing some aspect of civilization to it, are painted over completely or glossed with an imperfect brush and sometimes left out entirely.

How their ranks are encumbered by long generations of consanguinity, isolation, fear and superstition and how their disposition, character and religion are molded by this. They evoke a closeness and affinity to place and an almost palpable perception of some of their simple pleasures and fears, their cravings and needs and their response to the daily burden and elation of living. THIS PETTY PACE is the tale of the author's return to an aunts farm he frequented as a youth and while there was himself visited by a bizarre, spectral force and image from the distant past.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - The signal came back. So did she.Autumn, 1996. Sam Hadley, twenty-one, works the graveyard shift at a satellite monitoring station forty miles east of Albuquerque. Most people avoid that shift. She volunteered. She has the kind of ears that tune past the stations, into the spaces between them, and the desert at night is where that feels almost normal.Then ECHO-7 wakes up. A Cold War satellite, silent for five years, dead on every registry that admits it existed. What it transmits isn't telemetry. It's a memory. The face in the memory is hers.Sam should report it. She doesn't, because she can understand the signal, and that's the part she can't explain to anyone. Pulling the thread means learning why a dead program still has a paper trail, why the paper trail has holes in it, and why somebody at the station has started watching the night tech who asks. The question isn't what ECHO-7 is broadcasting. It's who.Set in the cold blue glow of CRT screens and high-altitude starlight in the autumn of 1996, Static opens a sci-fi mystery thriller for readers who tore through Recursion and Dark Matter and were sorry when they were over.Book One of the Dead Signal trilogy. The trilogy runs to midnight, December 31, 1999.…
