La versione riveduta, corretta e ampliata di questo manualetto è scaricabile gratuitamente nel mio sito personale. https://robertogerilli.it/ingegneria-delle-storie/ Mi chiamo Roberto Gerilli, ho una laurea in ingegneria e un'officina dedicata alle storie. Le progetto, le costruisco, le restauro e le collaudo. Non importa quale sia il modello, il genere o la complessità: se una storia entra nella mia officina, io la faccio funzionare. Dopo aver passato molto tempo sul banco di lavoro, ho deciso di scrivere L'ingegneria delle storie. Piccolo manuale tecnico, una serie di articoli in cui voglio condividere tutto quello che ho imparato. Spero vi possa essere utile, e soprattutto spero vogliate condividere con me le vostre opinioni e le vostre esperienze. Io adoro le storie ben riuscite, e voi?

What if the person you trusted the most suddenly became a stranger, who desperately wanted you dead? And if an hour later, they were back to normal? Detective Jack Arnette was a respected cop, before a hostage situation went horribly wrong. Victor Slade is a meditating, hedonistic cop-killer. When Victor makes a pickup at the Seattle docks, Jack sees a chance for redemption. A simple arrest. Respect regained. But events spin out of control when Jack and Victor are quarantined with the dock workers and a virus that can make anyone go temporarily homicidal. Trapped by a SWAT team with orders to shoot anyone who leaves the building, Jack must deal with a cop-killer who has little to lose, and a group of innocents who could become just as dangerous. Who would you trust when anyone could become a killer?

She forsakes her own safety to go in search of the killer. But what awaits her outside is more unbelievable that she ever imagined. Cut to the present day where Eleanor's world is falling apart. This time next year, civilisation won't be quite so civilised . . . * * * I'm posting a chapter each week. The rest of the Outside Series is complete, and available on Amazon.

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER -- Marcus, a.k.a “w1n5t0n,” is only seventeen years old, but he figures he already knows how the system works–and how to work the system. Smart, fast, and wise to the ways of the networked world, he has no trouble outwitting his high school’s intrusive but clumsy surveillance systems. But his whole world changes when he and his friends find themselves caught in the aftermath of a major terrorist attack on San Francisco. In the wrong place at the wrong time, Marcus and his crew are apprehended by the Department of Homeland Security and whisked away to a secret prison where they’re mercilessly interrogated for days. When the DHS finally releases them, Marcus discovers that his city has become a police state where every citizen is treated like a potential terrorist. He knows that no one will believe his story, which leaves him only one option: to take down the DHS himself.
