Julian May Libri

Il XXI secolo è alla fine. Trent'anni sono passati da quando il pacifico Milieu Galattico ha accolto la Terra nella sua federazione e presto l'umanità sarà chiamata a far parte dell'Unità, la mente collettiva che raccoglie le razze aliene dell'universo. Ma non tutti ci credono. Un gruppo di ribelli, il cui numero cresce ogni giorno, trama per salvaguardare l'individualità della razza umana. E i ribelli hanno un sostenitore segreto: Furia, l'insana creatura metapsichica che non si ferma davanti a nulla pur di raggiungere ilsuo scopo ed esercitare il pieno controllo sull'umanità.

Nell'anno 2034 Theo Guderian, un fisico francese, fa una scoperta divertente ma poco pratica: inventa un congegno che permette il trasferimento istantaneo nel passato tramite una distorsione temporale. Il viaggio è però di sola andata e le coordinate spazio-temporali del punto di arrivo sono immutabili: si tratta di una zona della valle del fiume Rodano nell'idilliaca epoca del Pliocene, sei milioni di anni fa. Tuttavia a poco a poco questa scoperta così sottovalutata, si rivela utile: anche nell'utopistica società del XXII secolo,in un mondo che sembra aver raggiunto la completa felicità e la perfezione tecnologica, esistono degli "spostati", degli individui scomodi che vogliono fuggire attraverso questa porta in un misterioso passato.

Intervention sets the scene for Julian May's new trlogy of the Galactic Milieu. This has been split into two books: The Surveillance (containing Prologue, The Surveillance, and The Disclosure) and The Metaconcert, containing The Intervention and Epilogue. For 60 000 years the five races of the Galactic Milieu have watched and waited for the time when human mental development on Earth is ready for the Intervention ...As the twentieth century draws to its end, phenomenal mental powers are displayed by 'operants' all across our planet... They can 'farspeak' one another telepathically. They can build mental shields and they are capable of coercion by power of mind.One of there is Rogatien Remillard, a dealer in secondhand books, whose memories - written a century on - form the core of this chronicle. They tell of a world where the mind has become a weapon; and of two brothers, each possessed of extraordinary powers - one a peace-bringer, the other an advocate of evil...

A promising future is envisioned, but a rebellion leads to destruction.

As the 21st century nears its end, humanity faces a pivotal moment in its evolution towards Unity within the Galactic Milieu. However, a faction of rebels, driven by a desire to preserve human individuality, conspires against this integration. Behind their efforts lurks Fury, a powerful and deranged metapsychic entity intent on seizing control of humanity. Jack the Bodiless, a mutant genius with extraordinary abilities, stands in opposition to Fury, determined to resist becoming a pawn in its dangerous game.

In the year 2051, Earth stood on the brink of acceptance as full member of the Galactic Milieu, a confederation of worlds spread across the galaxy. Leading humanity was the powerful Remillard family, but somebody--or something--known only as "Fury" wanted them out of the way.Only Rogi Remillard, the chosen tool of the most powerful alien being in the Milieu, and his nephew Marc, the greatest metapsychic yet born on Earth, knew about Fury. But even they were powerless to stop it when it began to kill off Remillards and other metapsychic operants--and all the suspects were Remillards themselves.Meanwhile, a Remillard son was born, a boy who could represent the future of all humanity. His incredible mind was more powerful even than his brother Marc's--but he was destined to be desroyed by his own DNA...unless Fury got to him first!From the Paperback edition.

Exiled beyond the time-portal into the world of six million years ago, the misfits of the 22nd century are enmeshed in the age-old war of two alien races. In this strange world, each year brings the ritual combat between the Firvulag and the Tanu. This is the sequel to The Many-Coloured Land.

The Frivulag are rising, while the children of the metaphysic rebels are to re-open the time gate - sole escape route back to the Galatic Milieu - and Marc Remillard, the adversary, takes up his destined role in the power play.

Throughout the ages and across the world in many shapes and guises, as healers, mystics and literary figures, wizards have played an important part in real-life communities and in the imagination of many cultures. Often illuminating the future and explaining the past, wizards have always had a very powerful role. This text traces the origins and legends of wizards, charting their myriad expressions through time and across cultures. It also includes a number of meditations and practices at the end of each chapter that enable us to make use of some of the legendary skills of the wizard.

On Earth, six million B.C., two species of alien ruled, the graceful humanoid Tanu and their twisted brethren, the Firvulag. Then men from twenty-second century Earth arrived through a one-way time tunnel -- and soon the aliens were locked in a battle to the death, for the humans had upset the precarious balance of power that existed between them. But when the tides of combat had receded, no one group held firm control, though Aiken Drum, man of no woman born, had declared himself the Nonborn King . . . .

Fantasy.

In het land der zieners heeft de menselijke geest een reuzenstap gedaan. Over de gehele wereld worden kinderen met buitengewone gaven geboren. Sommigen zijn genieën, andere normaal. Maar elk van hen bezit metaphysische krachten die het oude menselijke ras met verbazing en angst vervullen. De genieën houden hun talenten aanvankelijk angstvallig geheim. En wanneer ze zichzelf blootgeven worden ze met afschuw bejegend, uitgebuit en vervolgd. Ze worden verscheurd door twijfel over de rol die ze moeten spelen: zijn ze voorbestemd om het ras dat hen voortbracht en dat zich omringt met nucleaire wapens aan zich te onderwerpen om hen van de totale oorlog te redden? De hoofdpersonen van dit boek zijn leden van de familie Remillard, wier afstammelingen een rol speelden in het Veelkleurig land.
