Presentazione del romanzo
The beginnings
di e con Alex Boller (Reverdito Editore, 2011)
Presenta: Stefano Adami

Alex Boller torna nelle librerie con un nuovo romanzo "the beginnings" edito da Reverdito dopo il suo esordio con "L'ombra del cigno", a grande richiesta dei suoi fans, l'autore ha dato un seguito alla avventure dell'agente Swan.

Una lettera, capitata erroneamente nelle mani della polizia inglese, darà il via a un'indagine d'intelligence globale.
Dopo il successo dell'operazione "Nuova Origine", Swan, agente segreto italiano, verrà reclamato negli Stati Uniti per collaborare nel risolvere quella che sta diventando un'emergenza terribile, forse letale, per milioni di persone innocenti.
Affiancato dal nuovo compagno americano, Axel Connors, si troverà coinvolto in un'avventura che lo porterà agli angoli estremi del globo.
Mentre il ricatto che avvolge l'intero pianeta in una coltre di terrore senza fine esploderà con una prima vampa di follia, i governi mondiali troveranno una sintonia diplomatica e d'intervento armato senza precedenti.
Il lavoro di Swan e Axel si rivelerà serrato e terribilmente rischioso. In un susseguirsi di colpi di scena, dove azione e crudeltà diventano cornice di un dramma apparentemente senza soluzione, Swan guiderà il piccolo ma determinato drappello di rivoltosi, creatosi nella base di "The Beginning", verso l'epilogo per nulla scontato di un incubo senza fine.

Alex Boller è nato a Trento il 21 gennaio 1964.
Il protagonista dei romanzi di Alex Boller è Swan (Il Cigno), agente segreto italiano nato dal matrimonio fra un uomo pachistano ed una donna italiana. L'uomo è un cosidetto "cane sciolto", ossia un agente che può contare sulla possibilità d'indagare fuori dai normali canoni investigativi. Grazie a ciò, verrà reclamato negli Stati Uniti per essere affiancato ad un nuovo compagno americano, Axel Connors, per tentare di risolvere un'enigma che sta gettando l'intero pianeta nell'incubo nucleare.
Nell'arco dell'anno scolastico 2011-2012, "The beginnings" è entrato a far parte del programma scolastico dell'Istituto Agrario di San Michele All'Adige - Fondazione Edmund Mach.

Stefano Adami, laurea in filosofia e brillante carriera da italianista che lo ha portato e lo porta a insegnare in giro per il mondo (dagli Stati Uniti all'Università per stranieri di Siena).
