Über diesen Titel

Críticas:

Of Tangible Ghosts: "A neat premise...Modesitt makes this alternate history of a Dutch-dominated Northeast and a pseudo-Nazi Austro-Hungarian Empire believable."--"Starlog""A challenging mystery, a scientific puzzler and a technothriller rolled into a splendidly unique whole, this dandy delight deserves a reserved spot on your bookshelf."--"Romantic Times"Ghost of the Revelator "A most originally conceived and intelligently executed melding of history and fantasy. Fans of its predecessor will devour it, as will some others, especially on account of its enchanting heroine."-"Booklist""A startling view of what the world might be like if we really had ghosts. A compelling tale of alternate world intrigue."-Jack McDevitt

Reseña del editor:

Johan Eschbach, Professor of Environmental Science and semi-retired secret agent, and his lovely wife, the world-renowned singer Llsette, return for another adventure, this time in Russia, during the long "white nights" of the summer. Their world is an intriguing alternate present in which many things are changed. What we know as the eastern U.S. is the nation of Columbia, and Russia is still ruled by the Czars. Llysette is being sent by the Columbian government on a cultural exchange mission to St. Petersburg. Johan will, of course, accompany her, allowing him to work behind the scenes on the oil concession in Russian Alaska that Columbia so desperately needs. But even the oil shortage will fade to insignificance when Johan discovers what new weapons technology the Russian are developing, a threat even more fearsome than the atomic bombs of Austro-Hungary.
