About this Item

Leichte Kratzer / Abnutzungen / Druckstellen; Gebrochener Buchr�cken / Seiten oder Softcover umgeknickt; Vergilbt / ausgeblichen. The future: mass unemployment, cancer, the squabbles of nation states - all are things of the past. And in space, the hub, a successful colony, has been established. But it is hardly utopia. Lunatic sects abound, the vast suburban stacks are riddled with violent no go areas, and cancer has been replaced by organ implosion - which is much much worse. Turner is a reclaimer, his job to rescue and deprogramme victims of the far out religions. But his latest case leads him into the rarified corridors of power, and ultimately to the hub. A mordell conjecture probe - the most powerful informational device yet developed has fallen into the hands of an eccentric anarchist group and world government is on the brink of chaos. While in space, a huge and mysterious gas cloud threatens reality itself.

About this title

Synopsis

The mass unemployment, cancer, the squabbles of nation states - all are things of the past. And in space, the hub, a successful colony, has been established. But it is hardly utopia. Lunatic sects abound, the vast suburban stacks are riddled with violent no go areas, and cancer has been replaced by organ implosion - which is much much worse. Turner is a reclaimer, his job to rescue and deprogramme victims of the far out religions. But his latest case leads him into the rarified corridors of power, and ultimately to the hub. A mordell conjecture probe - the most powerful informational device yet developed has fallen into the hands of an eccentric anarchist group and world government is on the brink of chaos. While in space, a huge and mysterious gas cloud threatens reality itself.

Store Description

B�cher kaufen und verkaufen an einem Ort, schnell und ohne Aufwand ? so lautet unser Bookbot Erfolgskonzept. Mit unserem innovativen Konzept machen wir mit Bookbot den Online-Buchhandel nachhaltiger und bringen hochwertige, gebrauchte B�cher antiquarisch in den Umlauf. Mit der Leidenschaft f�r B�cher, dem Wunsch ihren Lebenszyklus zu verl�ngern und dabei gleichzeitig die Umweltbelastung zu reduzieren, hat Dominik Gazdo? Bookbot gegr�ndet. Im klaren Fokus stehen dabei Kundenkomfort und Benutzerfreundlichkeit. Unsere Plattform verspricht Leser*innen eine breite Auswahl sowie einen sicheren Kaufprozess. Von Bestsellern �ber Klassiker bis hin zu Nischenliteratur bietet wir auch lesefreudigen �sterreicher*innen eine wahre Schatzkiste zu fairen Preisen. Im Gegensatz zu herk�mmlichen Verkaufsplattformen gehen wir einen Schritt weiter, indem wir den gesamten Verkaufs- und Versandprozess �bernehmen ? angefangen beim professionellen Abfotografieren der B�cher bis hin zur Ermittlung eines fairen Preises sowie der Kommunikation mit potenziellen K�ufer*innen. Verk�ufer*innen schicken lediglich ihre Buchsch�tze an uns und warten, bis diese neue Besitzer*innen finden und das Entgelt bei ihnen eintrudelt. Die breitgef�cherte Auswahl an Buch-Genres reicht von Klassikern, Bestsellern �ber alte Sch�tze und kultigen Comics bis hin zu Fachpublikationen. Wir bieten hunderttausende Titel aller Genres in vielen Sprachen, meist in perfektem Zustand an. Bei �lteren oder besch�digten B�chern finden sich online detaillierte Bilder des Zustands auf unserer Website. Wir sind stolz, bereits 200.000 gl�ckliche Bookbot-Kund*innen an Bord zu haben und bieten damit eine breite Community an vielen potentielle K�ufer*innen. Nach gelungenen Markteintritten in Tschechien, Deutschland und der Slowakei, sind wir nun auch in �sterreich t�tig.
