Robert A. Heinlein – The Puppet Masters (audiobook)

Grāmatas apraksts no Goodreads/Synopsis from Goodreads:

First came the news that a flying saucer had landed in Iowa. Then came the announcement that the whole thing was a hoax. End of story. Case closed.

Except that two agents of the most secret intelligence agency in the U.S. government were on the scene and disappeared without reporting back. Then four more follow up agents also disappeared. So the head of the agency and his two top agents went in and managed to get out with their discovery: an invasion is underway by slug-like aliens who can touch a human and completely control his or her mind. What the humans know, they know. What the slugs want, no matter what, the human will do. And most of Iowa is already under their control.

Sam Cavanaugh was one of the agents who discovered the truth. Unfortunately, that was just before he was taken over by one of the aliens and began working for the invaders, with no will of his own. And he has just learned that a high official in the Treasury Department is now under control of the aliens. Since the Treasury Department includes the Secret Service, which safeguards the President of the United States, control of the entire nation is near at hand.

Izlasīju, lasu, lasīšu #21 (04.04 – 10.04)

Izlasīju, lasu, lasīšu jeb Read, Reading, To Read katru svētdienu būs tāds kā iknedēļas kopsavilkums, kā arī, ko lasu un klausos dotajā brīdī, un, kas plānojas tālāk. Ideja rakstam no aizņemta EMSVIEW.

Lasīšanas ziņā ši nedēļa diemžēl izvērtusies visai paknapa, bet vismaz sanāca pabūt Ingas Gailes grāmatas ”Stikli” atvēršanas pasākumā. :)

Gundega Repše – Bogene (‘’Mēs. Latvija, XX gadsimts’’ #5)

6506795_ORIGINAL_1457350981

Grāmatas apraksts no Goodreads/Synopsis from Goodreads:

“Cilvēks ir pasaule, dzimta ir pasaule, nācija ir pasaule. “Bogenē” šīs pasaules neredzamām, taču mežonīgi izjūtamām spēka līnijām ir savā starpā saistītas, tās pārklājas un ieaug cita citā vai, zibeņus šķiļot, saduras, attālinās un pagaist bezgalībā, tās dzimst, dzīvo, mirst. Taču lāgiem pasaules tiek varmācīgi iznīcinātas. Arī apokalipsē, kas Latviju sasniedza 1940. gada 17. jūnijā. Pilnmēness un Bogene — mūžīgā līdzdzīvotāja, varbūt pēdējais patvērums, bet viņa pastāv,” grāmatu raksturo Guntis Berelis.
