2016brossura La "realtà aumentata" è l'ultima conquista della tecnologia nel campo dell'intrattenimento multimediale. Tutti i grandi colossi internazionali, da Google a Microsoft, da Marck Zuckenberg a Jan Koum, stanno investendo milioni di dollari sull'affare del secolo. La "Miglior Vita Corporation", del magnate Ronald O'Bryan, promette a tutti emozioni senza precedenti. I suoi cinema, dotati di tecnlogia 4D, immergeranno gli "spettatori-partecipanti" in una realtà alternativa dove sarà praticamente impossibile distinguere la realtà dalla finzione. Le prime proiezioni sembrano dare risultati eccellenti. Tutti sembrano entusiasti... ansiosi di provare questa fantastica tecnologia... ma l'uragano Carola, in arrivo sulla costa atlantica, sembra voler rimandare i facili entusiasmi degli abitanti di Portsmouth. Oltre questo... i comportamenti di coloro che hanno partecipato alle prime proiezioni appaiono strani. Le interviste mostrano persone in preda ad una strana estasi... urla... pianti... strani movimenti... È soltanto il risultato di una fortissima emozione o si cela un'ombra dietro questa tecnologia?

2019brossura Una pericolosa minaccia incombe su Venezia e l'unica speranza di salvezza è nelle mani di una sola persona. Il carnevale rischia di trasformarsi in un'enorme maschera di sangue e distruzione ordita dall'Isis e da alcuni terroristi russi. Un passato che non vuole essere dimenticato e che torna, più potente e reale che mai, nella mente e nel cuore di una donna. Un incubo soffocante che si nutre degli ideali dell'estremismo islamico.
2011br. Nel 1944, in Germania, l'ipotesi di aver perso la guerra era oramai una realtà. Venne architettato un piano di fuga per i gerarchi nazisti con il supporto di quegli industriali che avevano realizzato lauti guadagni appoggiando il Terzo Reich. Ma cosa succederebbe se, in realtà, questo piano fosse nato molto, molto tempo prima con uno scopo ben diverso? E se qualcuno, ai giorni nostri, volesse portarlo a termine? Dal fondo di acque gelide, riaffiorerà un segreto che darà origine ad una successione di eventi a catena che, a loro volta, faranno riemergere nuovi enigmi sempre più improbabili, a volte inspiegabili, ma non impossibili. Il reporter Max Rain, documentarista della H&MW, si troverà nuovamente coinvolto nella ricerca di un relitto che sarà solo il principio di un'avventura che ci farà viaggiare in tre continenti, da nord a sud, dalle gelide acque degli abissi marini alle infuocate sabbie del deserto.
2015brossura "In questo romanzo, nei vari capitoli, si riscontrano narrazioni di fatti incresciosi, di cruda violenza, di sesso sfrenato e amorale, perversioni che giungono agli estremi antipodi del crimine più bieco e assurdo, col sangue che scorre a fiumi. Tutti elementi che spingono a provare una certa repellenza, non riuscendo momentaneamente a motivare tanta violenza, anzi scambiandola per strategia fine a se stessa. Essa potrebbe condurci - erroneamente - a ingabbiarla dentro un cliché apparentemente hard boiled o pulp; generi letterari, questi ultimi, creati per scoprire quel torbido e quel buio dell'anima, quella doppia faccia di ogni medaglia, che spingono gli esseri umani a compiere azioni esecrabili. Ne veniamo, però, immediatamente smentiti dalla consistenza dei contenuti semantici, che affiorano - a una ben attenta analisi - e anche dalle convinzioni filosofiche e spirituali, di tipo orientale, ivi presenti".
