Paperback. "This book is not a blind defence to 'Die Another Day'. This is not even a tribute to the 20th James Bond film or a subjective appreciation of it. This is just a book that intends to give a second look to a film that is ranked quite low in the list of filmgoers or 007 fans". With these words, author Nicolas Suszczyk ('The World of GoldenEye', 'The Bond of The Millennium') begins to assess the fourth and final James Bond film starring Pierce Brosnan and released in November 2002 as the series reached its ruby anniversary, also taking into account the sociocultural context of the early days of the new millennium in an era divided between the fear of terrorism and the leisure provided by new forms of technology. 'Beyond The Ice' deconstructs 'Die Another Day' as no book has done before and explains why there is more to Bond 20 than an invisible Aston Martin Vanquish and 007 surfing a computer-generated tsunami. Shipping may be from our UK warehouse or from our Australian or US warehouses, depending on stock availability. N° de réf. du vendeur 9798642300145

Paperback. Etat : new. Paperback. BEYOND THE ICE LIMITThat thing is growing again. We must destroy it. The time to act is now.With these words begins Gideon Crew's latest, most dangerous, most high-stakes assignment yet. Failure will mean nothing short of the end of humankind on earth.Five years ago, the mysterious and inscrutable head of Effective Engineering Solutions, Eli Glinn, led a mission to recover a gigantic meteorite--the largest ever discovered--from a remote island off the coast of South America. The mission ended in disaster when their ship, the Rolvaag, foundered in a vicious storm in the Antarctic waters and broke apart, sinking-along with its unique cargo-to the ocean floor. One hundred and eight crew members perished, and Eli Glinn was left paralyzed.But this was not all. The tragedy revealed something truly terrifying: the meteorite they tried to retrieve was not, in fact, simply a rock. Instead, it was a complex organism from the deep reaches of space.Now, that organism has implanted itself in the sea bed two miles below the surface-and it is growing. If it is not destroyed, the planet will be doomed. There is only one hope: for Glinn and his team to annihilate it, a task which requires Gideon's expertise with nuclear weapons. But as Gideon and his colleagues soon discover, the "meteorite" has a mind of its own-and it has no intention of going quietly. Includes excerpt from The Obsidian Chamber.

Paperback. Etat : new. Paperback. Beyond the Ice Wall: The Watchers of the Rift yanks readers from a suffocating future into a kaleidoscopic multiverse. Gideon Marks, a rebellious scientist living under the Global Unity's recycled air and grey skies, steals through a forbidden rift and tumbles into an alternate Earth-flat, domed and teeming with wildflowers. Instead of blissful freedom, he encounters the Watchers: luminous, ever-shifting beings who pour images of imploding worlds and twisted creatures directly into his mind. They warn him that every unauthorised jump could unravel reality, and that a faceless force known as the Custodian has started erasing entire universes to maintain some mysterious "balance".Gideon isn't one to back down from either oppressive governments or cosmic janitors. He joins forces with a misfit crew: Dr. Thorne, the gruff physicist; Anya, a seasoned dimension-hopper; Lyra, a linguist who deciphers the rifts' quantum patterns; and Kael, a stoic warrior. Their objective? Find the original rift, decode its secrets and stop the Custodian. A cryptic message hidden in the rift reveals that the portals are part of a vast network and that the Custodian's purge is a desperate attempt to avert a looming catastrophe. There's an alternative, but it's dangerous: weave the rifts together into a cohesive web and find the nexus where all realities converge.As Gideon leaps from universe to universe, he meets radically different versions of himself. One world's Gideon is an Oxford professor who never jumped and built a comfortable, regret-tinged life. In another timeline he's a ruthless dictator who uses rift technology to conquer and exploit. A third version is a hermit driven into isolation by the terror of watching realities fracture. Each encounter forces him to question free will, identity and destiny. Later, he meets an older Gideon in a peaceful reality untouched by Watchers, who reminds him of the normal life he sacrificed-family, routine, simple joys-and asks whether saving the multiverse justifies such losses.Through these travels Gideon learns that the Custodian isn't an evil supervillain but a cosmic response to chaos, attempting to fuse realities into one stable timeline. Yet its method-draining universes and erasing diversity-is monstrous. To oppose it, the team develops a daring plan: channel chaotic rift energy and fire it back, disrupting the Custodian's consolidation. The resulting battle is a breathtaking clash of order and chaos. The Custodian counter-attacks by trying to absorb Gideon's very essence, offering oblivion in exchange for peace. Gideon is forced to choose between surrendering to a sterile utopia or fighting for the messy, vibrant multiverse, with full awareness that any choice could ripple across infinite realities and cause unforeseen harm.At its heart, this novel is both a page-turning adventure and a philosophical exploration. It asks if we'd give up individuality for safety, whether different versions of us could teach us something, and what "saving the world" even means when there are endless worlds to consider. Young-adult readers will relate to Gideon's journey of self-discovery, his moral dilemmas and his fight against a system that wants to dictate what's "normal." With vivid alternate realities, cosmic battles and characters who feel like a chosen family, Beyond the Ice Wall: The Watchers of the Rift delivers a thought-provoking, high-energy ride that will leave readers questioning what makes each universe-and each of us-unique.
