The Paper Flight
In Belcolle, a village in the north of the Italian region of Lazio, four old musicians guard a special place, Villa Tornaboni, to ensure themselves an unnatural eternity. Duilia Liberati, a realtor, receives the mandate to sell the estate and reaches Belcolle with her young secretary. The peculiar symbiosis between the young man and the estate attracts the ire of the old ladies who see their slice of heaven threatened, leading them to use their peculiar powers to contain the danger. In the background, two organizations that have been fighting each other from time immemorial. In the foreground, the people living in Belcolle, many of whom have fragments of their story linked with Villa Tornaboni and its old owner. A paranormal tale with elements of crime, sprinkled with science fiction, mythology, and esoterism. A layered and complex text, that in its initial part continuously introduces characters and mysteries to later solve them one by one.

The Innovators Behind Leonardo
This engaging book places Leonardo da Vinci’s scientific achievements within the wider context of the rapid development that occurred during the Renaissance. It demonstrates how his contributions were not in fact born of isolated genius, but rather part of a rich period of collective advancement in science and technology, which began at least 50 years prior to his birth. Readers will discover a very special moment in history, when creativity and imagination were changing the future—shaping our present. They will be amazed to discover how many technological inventions had already been conceived or even designed by the engineers and inventors who preceded Leonardo, such as Francesco di Giorgio and Taccola, the so-called Siena engineers. This engaging volume features a wealth of illustrations from a variety of original sources, such as manuscripts and codices, enabling the reader to see and judge for him or herself the influence that other Renaissance engineers and inventors had on Leonardo.
Voices (Whisper III)
La città di Oakwell è stata abbandonata, messa in quarantena dal governo. Dopotutto, sembra che l'incubo sia finito. Ma gli spiriti di Oakwell non accettano di riposare tanto facilmente. Quando Emma Barrett, reduce dagli orrori del massacro all'hotel Villa Speranza scopre un legame tra Isaac Samson e la possibilità di fermare per sempre la maledizione di Oakwell, deve ingaggiare una lotta contro il tempo non solo per trovare il ragazzino, ma anche per convincerlo ad unirsi a lei e porre fine al male che ha tormentato le loro vite. Affronteranno sacrifici, decisioni fatidiche, e metteranno a rischio le proprie vite mentre le macerie della città fanno da teatro alla battaglia finale fra il bene e il male.
