Bøger af George Poncy

It's the first wave of deadly genetic warfare... In California, a research lab is burglarized... in Brooklyn, a matzo plant is broken into, but nothing is taken... in Israel, agents cross the border from Syria and make their way to a water bottling plant. Months later, Arizona obstetrician Leslie Riordan realizes all her new pregnancies are Caucasian. She reports the anomaly to the CDC - and her life expectancy drops to zero. As births cease in Hasidic Brooklyn, newborns in Israel are afflicted with deadly Tay-Sachs disease. The plot leads from middle America to the Middle East, culminating in a high-tech naval battle in the Strait of Hormuz. If Michael Crichton and Tom Clancy are your cup of tea, here's dessert.

A Las Vegas homicide detective investigating a series of bizarre accidents discovers the victims had all been ejected from a prominent casino for card counting. His probe into the owner's shadowy past leads across the continent to a church whose terrifying history dates back to the 1500's. When the minister and church elders travel to Las Vegas for a religious conference, events quickly spiral down into mayhem and madness.

Seventeen year old high school graduate George Williams wryly tells of his senior year as a member of the Class of 1959, in the insular, upscale town of Windham, New Jersey. In the shadow of an oppressively conformist society, where gray flannel executives commute to New York City jobs George and his friends cannot fathom, the boys struggle to find meaning in their moneyed, languid existence while drifting from moment to moment, as their parents shuttle from city to country club. Girls, cars, rock and roll: all baubles in an era soon to end with the decade. Against the backdrop of the social values of his time, George initially takes for granted the racially segregated and prejudicial attitudes of his community. Cynicism and humor combat the umbra of the Soviet nuclear presence, the teenagers' only weapon against the constant threat of destruction. On the surface, all drifts along in almost a stream of consciousness fashion; yet, stress cracks begin to appear as suicide and scandal break the smooth facade of the suburbs, and the future appears almost beyond resolution. George gradually questions the morality of his hometown, and struggles to find meaning and purpose in what seems a suffocating preordained destiny, culminating into a shadowy glimpse of true evil. The rock and roll lyrics of various 50's hit songs, quoted as introductory lines to each chapter, are surprisingly appropriate to the era and, together, form the anthem of the times.
