Malcolm Rose

    Questo autore, ex docente universitario di chimica, ora dedica interamente il suo tempo alla scrittura di narrativa. La disciplina scientifica ha instillato un profondo apprezzamento per la creatività, la perseveranza e l'arte di costruire frasi, abilità essenziali sia per la ricerca che per la scrittura di romanzi. L'autore paragona gli esperimenti chimici alla miscelazione di personaggi e all'osservazione dei risultati, trovando un parallelo tra l'indagine scientifica e l'esplorazione della vita umana. Ciò che iniziò come una fuga dal rigore accademico durante gli studi di dottorato si trasformò in una passione, che lo portò a perseguire la pubblicazione dopo l'incoraggiamento della moglie.

    When the Light Goes On
    • "When the Light Goes On helps us dig through the discord and fragmentation of school politics and policy to reclaim the mind and heart of education. Through various students' stories and his own, Rose provides an urgent reminder of the core purpose of education: to learn about ourselves and the world around us, to spark new interests, and to experience with guidance both the fulfillment and the uncertainty of exploring our limits-all in the service of creating a meaningful life"-- Provided by publisher

    • Bionic agent Jordan Stryker returns with a new mission, new foe and even greater danger. Age: 11+ When planes start falling from the sky with no warning and even less explanation, Unit Red has no option but to send out their top recruit - Jordan Stryker, cybernetically-enhanced secret agent - to uncover the truth. In a race against time, Stryker is drawn deep into the hidden world of the Dark Web - the digital catacombs of websites long since abandoned, replaced by newer, better technologies, and unreachable by any search engine. Using these hidden channels, a criminal mastermind is wreaking havoc in the skies using electromagnetic bombs that burn out circuits and render any electronic device unusable, including those in Stryker's implants. Jordan is going to need every ounce of cunning to track down this deadly foe in a mission where his cyber-enhancements are less of an advantage and more of a liability. Age: 11+
