Così Asterix, Obelix, Idefix e il bardo partono, a bordo del tappeto volante del fachiro... Età di lettura: da 10 anni.

Abstract: On a Chicago street in bright sunshine, Jack Reacher, strolling nowhere, meets an attractive young woman, limping, struggling with her crutches, alone. Naturally he stops to offer her a steadying arm, and then they turn together - to face twin handguns held level and motionless and aimed straight at their stomachs. Chained to the woman, locked in a dark, stifling van racing 2,000 miles across America, Reacher needs to know who he's dealing with. The kidnappers are saying nothing and his companion claims to be Holly Johnson, FBI agent. She's fierce enough and tough enough, but he knows there must be more to her than that. And at their remote, hostile destination, they will need to act as a team and trust each other, pitting raw courage and cunning against insane violence and seemingly hopeless odds, with their own lives and hundreds more at stake. Filled with non-stop action and gritty suspense, Die Trying is a tightly plotted thriller from one of the most exciting British talents writing today.

Abstract: Dopo più di vent'anni il mitico Bar sport e i suoi magnifici eroi hanno subito le trasformazioni del tempo: la proverbiale pasta Luisona è scomparsa, nel Bar Veramente Fico adesso espongono brioche invisibili a occhio nudo; tra gli avventori nessuno ha più una colorazione naturale, e si possono ammirare le abbronzature color albicocca o vitel tonné maschili piuttosto che i color biscotto dei fard e dei Caraibi femminili; nuovi elementi, tra cui spiccano i tristemente noti cellularisti, abilissimi nel rispondere al trillo nelle situazioni più impervie. E poi le evoluzioni delle creature perenni da bar: l'uomo invisibile che passa ore davanti al bancone tentando di farsi servire un caffé, l'incazzato da bar, le vecchiette dell'angolino...
