      Sloane sa perfettamente che nessuno deve vederla piangere. La minima debolezza, o il più piccolo scatto di nervi, potrebbero costarle la vita. In un attimo si ritroverebbe internata nel Programma, la cura ideata dal governo per prevenire l'epidemia di suicidi che sta dilagando fra gli adolescenti di tutto il mondo. E una volta dentro, Sloane dovrebbe dire addio ai propri ricordi... Perché è questo che fa il Programma: ti guarisce dalla depressione, resettandoti la memoria. Annullandoti. Così, Sloane ha imparato a seppellire dentro di sé tutte le emozioni. Non vuole farsi notare, non ora che suo fratello è morto e lei è considerata un soggetto a rischio. L'unica persona che la conosce davvero è James, il ragazzo che ama più di se stessa. E stato lui ad aiutarla nei momenti difficili, lui a farle credere che ci fosse ancora speranza. Ma, quando anche James si ammala, Sloane capisce di non poter più sfuggire al Programma. E si prepara a lottare. Per difendere i propri ricordi, a qualunque costo.

      The Program
      4,1
    • Sono passate settimane da quando Sloane è stata dimessa dal Programma, il progetto sperimentale che obbliga gli adolescenti a rischio di depressione alla rimozione dei ricordi, eppure è ancora sotto stretta osservazione. Nonostante abbia dimenticato intere parti del suo passato, il cuore l’ha spinta di nuovo tra le braccia di James, il ragazzo che ha sempre amato. In questo modo, però, ha scoperchiato una scatola che avrebbe dovuto rimanere sigillata, mettendo in pericolo la validità stessa della terapia a cui entrambi sono stati sottoposti. Ma il Programma non può permettersi di fallire e dà il via a una caccia serrata. In fuga dagli stessi uomini che li hanno internati, Sloane e James non possono fare altro che unirsi a un gruppo di ribelli che vuole scardinare l’impalcatura di segreti e bugie su cui si fonda il Programma. Riuscirci, però, è tutt’altro che semplice. Soprattutto perché l’unico indizio a disposizione è la pillola arancione che Michael Realm – il solo amico che Sloane aveva nel Programma – le ha lasciato prima di scomparire nel nulla. L’antidoto in grado di ripristinare i ricordi persi. La Cura su cui tutti vorrebbero mettere le mani. In un crescendo di inseguimenti, depistaggi e tradimenti, si conclude la storia d’amore di Sloane e James: il secondo, appassionante capitolo della serie bestseller del «New York Times».

Lulu and Jek are science nerds, and have been best friends since they were young…or at least they used to be. Lately Jek has been pulling away from Lulu, just as she’s coming to terms with how she really feels about him. Just as she was ready to see if there could be something more between them. But Lulu’s thoughts are derailed by the arrival of a mysterious new guy showing up at local parties. Hyde is the definition of a bad boy, and everybody knows it…but no one can seem to resist his charms. Girls can’t stay away from him, and guys all want to be him. And even though Lulu’s heart belongs to Jek, she can’t deny his attraction either. She also knows that’s there’s something not quite right about Hyde. That the rumours of his backwoods parties sound a little more dangerous than what any of her friends are accustom to. And she doesn’t like the fact that Hyde seems to be cozying up to Jek, and that they seem to be intertwined in ways that have Lulu worrying for Jek’s safety. If Hyde has a dark secret, Lulu is determined to find out what it is, and to help Jek…before it’s too late for the both of them.

      This work continues an intensive study of UFO phenomena, examining the intersections of hard science, technology, and the human experience. Tom DeLonge, named UFO Researcher of the Year in 2017, and renowned author Peter Levenda delve into the cultural, historical, and religious dimensions of humanity's encounters with UFOs. Their thorough research aims to unravel the scientific mysteries surrounding unidentified aerial phenomena and the profound impacts on those who have experienced them. The study is divided into three key areas: 1. **Genetics and the ET Hypothesis**: Investigating whether alien life forms initiated life on Earth, drawing on global myths that suggest a deliberate purpose behind this intervention. 2. **Consciousness**: Exploring if our human concept of consciousness was part of this extraterrestrial influence and pondering whether our evolution may lead to a form of immortality. 3. **Human-Machine Symbiosis**: Analyzing our rapid advancements in technology, particularly in Artificial Intelligence and robotics, and questioning the level of technological sophistication that the UFO phenomenon might possess. DeLonge and Levenda challenge long-held public beliefs, utilizing declassified records, expert analysis, and firsthand accounts from various witnesses to reveal the extensive influence of UFOs on our past, present, and future.

      The first volume in Gods, Man, & War, Gods introduces the listener to some of the critical issues that are foundational to an intelligent and enlightened grasp of the revelations that will follow in the next two volumes. There is another Force in the universe of our Reality, another context for comprehending what has been going on for millennia and especially in the last seventy years. Sekret Machines is the result of input from scientists, engineers, intelligence officers, and military officials-a group we call the Advisors-and transcends the speculation of journalists, historians, and others whose conclusions are often either misinformed or only tease around the edges of the Sekret Machines. The listener will not discover wild theories or unfounded claims, but instead will confront a solid-if often unsettling-reality, one that demands the collaboration of all of us in every field of human endeavor if we are to understand it and manage its effects. If nothing else, listeners will come to the conclusion that the Phenomenon is not what they think it is. It is, in fact, much more serious and potentially much more threatening than they can imagine.
