Alan Heathcock

    VOLT di Alan Heathcock si immerge negli angoli più oscuri dell'esperienza umana, ma sempre con una grazia che porta luce disponibile. Le sue storie dall'immaginaria città di Krafton esplorano temi di civiltà e natura selvaggia, legge e illegalità, fede e infedeltà. Heathcock cattura magistralmente come gli individui affrontano le tragedie e cercano l'equilibrio. Il suo linguaggio è scarno ma generoso e ricco, attirando i lettori in un mondo aspro ma bello che non dimenticheranno presto.

Her journey leads her to New Los Angeles, where the Novae have set up the headquarters for their propaganda machine--right in the ruins of Hollywood.
