The Cool War
Fred Pohl, multiple winner of science-fiction’s top awards, presents a breathtaking romp through the energy-poor world of the 2020s – a gripping chase-intrigue novel with a highly unlikely stand-in for James Bond.
One day, the Reverend Hornswell Hake had nothing worse to contend with than the customary power shortages and his routine pastoral chores, such as counseling the vivacious Alys Brant – and her husbands and wife. At nearly forty, his life was placid, almost humdrum.
The very next day, Horny Hake was first enlisted as an unwilling agent of the Team – secret successor to the long-discredited CIA – and then courted by an anti-Team underground group. In practically no time at all, Horny and Alys were touring Europe on a mission about which he knew zip, except that it was a new move in the Cool War, the worldwide campaign of sabotage that had replaced actual combat.
For the team and its opponents, though, the Cool War could be as perilous as any hot one, as Horny Hake discovered when he came up against
*Leota, lovely leader of the underground cabal, dedicated to destroying the Team;
*Yosper, the Bible-thumping, foul-mouthed nonogenarian killer;
*The Reddi twins, professional terrorists who turned up in the oddest places at the worst times and always managed to make Horny’s life miserable;
*And Pegleg, master of such lethal toys as the Bulgarian Brolly and the Peruvian Pen.
All the Lives He Led
Two thousand years after Pompeii’s destruction, a thriller of upheaval—volcanic and political—as only SF Grandmaster Frederik Pohl can write it!
With a keen eye for the humanity in any situation, science fiction icon Frederik Pohl has crafted a compelling new novel of a not-too-distant future we can only hope is merely science fiction.
When Mount Vesuvius erupted in 79 A.D. it gave so little warning that Pompeiians were caught unawares, and many bodies were preserved in volcanic ash. Two thousand years later, in 2079, Pompeii is a popular theme park eagerly anticipating Il Giubeleo, the Jubilee celebration of the great anniversary. But Vesuvius is still capable of erupting, and even more threatening are terrorists who want to use the occasion to draw attention to their cause by creating a huge disaster. As the fateful day draws near, people from all over the world—workers, tourists, terrorists—caught in the shadow of the volcano will grapple with upheaval both natural and political.
SYZYGY
Scientists and psychics are predicting eruptions and earthquakes that could devastate half the earth, caused by a rare conjunction of the planets. It’s called SYZYGY.
A ruthless land speculator decides to make a quick killing by starting a panic. Then others cash in on the Syzygy Effect for their own greed: a crackpot cult preaching doom, a politician out for votes, a quack scientist out to make the headlines.
When California is paralyzed by brush fires and flash floods, hysteria explodes. Only a dedicated scientist and a beautiful NASA astrophysicist can prevent massive destruction. But they’re up against forces that will stop at nothing to keep the truth from getting out.
