Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. There's no road back to the past; there's only the walk into what remains.Years have passed since the narrator first stood at the foot of the hill-a place alive then with silence and weight, carved into memory by a woman who climbed without falter, her burden strapped to her back, her steps etched into the stone. But time doesn't stop. Now the hill has grown quiet in a different way. The well-worn steps are crumbling, fractured by root and rain, devoured by the creeping jungle that rises to swallow all signs of the life that came before. At its base sits a glaring white hotel, sterile and foreign, its mirrored windows reflecting back everything that has been lost.In this journey, the narrator returns to find a place both familiar and foreign-where the weight of memory presses against the transformation of the land, and what was once sacred becomes desecrated by progress. Shadows play on fractured steps, the light sifts through broken canopies, and the jungle hums with a voice that feels older than time itself. Yet the woman is gone. She exists now only in fragments: the rhythm of her climb, the lines etched on her face, the silence she bore with a strength no words could hold.Through vivid prose and haunting imagery, this literary novel explores the inevitability of decay and the weight of witnessing what cannot be undone. It is a meditation on change-both in the landscape and within ourselves-and the burden of knowing that the world forgets even as we remember.This is a story for anyone who has stood still long enough to watch time move, for those who have glimpsed beauty and known its cost. Rich with atmospheric detail and a voice both aching and unrelenting, it asks the question: what do we carry with us when the world we knew is gone?

Product Description:From the ashes of the Cyberpunk Age, through ecological holocaust and the specter of extinction, Humanity has finally risen, like a phoenix, to conquer the stars.But, the years of savage rebirth have also torn Mankind into two bitterly opposed factions. Led by the powerful and arrogant Solingen Corporation, the Expansionists are determined to drag the peaceful colony worlds of the Pleiades onto the path of uncontrolled exploitation and growth. They are opposed by the fanatical eco-zealots of the Gaian Circle, whose domination of the United Stellar States Alliance threatens to crush the Colonies under the weight of tyrannical conservatism and ecological rigidity. Now, the very stars are aflame as mighty Meldons and galactic dreadnaughts rage across the interstellar night in the self-righteous fury of the Total War.Only one thing can stop the countdown to destruction -- The Starblade Battalion. A renegade band of mechajocks, scouts, and outsiders, this alliance of disaffected from a dozen worlds represents Mankind's last chance to live in harmony with the Galaxy . and himself. But can the Battalion do it before both sides annihilate each other -- and the human race?
