Synopsis "Darwin's Blade "

Darwin Minor travels a dangerous road. A Vietnam veteran turned reluctant expert on interpreting the wreckage of fatal accidents, Darwin uses science and instinct to unravel the real causes of unnatural disasters. He is very, very good at his job. His latest case promises to be his most challenging yet. A spate of seemingly random high-speed car accidents has struck the highways of southern California. Each seems to have been staged-yet the participants have all died. Why would anyone commit fraud at the cost of his own life? The deeper Darwin digs, the closer he comes to unmasking an international network specializing in intimidation and murder, whose members will do anything to make sure Darwin soon suffers a deadly accident of his own. A literary thriller like no other...A hard-charging, edge-of-the-seat tale.-Milwaukee Journal Sentinel

Dan Simmons was born in 1948 in Peoria (Illinois, USA). After eighteen years dedicated to teaching literature, in 1987 he decided to dedicate himself full-time to writing. Since then, he has cultivated all kinds of genres (from fantasy, to horror and historical fiction), although he is best known for his contribution in the field of science fiction.

He is the author of Hyperion (winner of the Hugo and Locus Awards in 1990), the first novel of the acclaimed series "The Hyperion Cantos", which includes Hyperion, The Fall of Hyperion, Endymion, and The Rise of Endymion. Simmons has become an undisputed reference in contemporary science fiction.
