Story
To Fast Eddie Felsen, a young pool hustler, there was only one thing that mattered: to make the big time and the big money in the world of pool by beating the best in the country. Hustling suckers in small towns for good stake money was practice for his goal, and when he felt ready he went to Bennington's pool hall in Chicago to find Minnesota Fats. Eddie and Fats pit nerve against skill in a fantastic match over an unbroken 36 hours.

Story
Eight-year-old orphan Beth Harmon is quiet, sullen, and by all appearances unremarkable. That is, until she plays her first game of chess. Her senses grow sharper, her thinking clearer, and for the first time in her life she feels herself fully in control. By the age of 16, she's competing for the US Open championship. But as Beth hones her skills on the professional circuit, the stakes get higher, her isolation grows more frightening, and the thought of escape becomes all the more tempting.

Story
In a world where the human population has suffered devastating losses, a handful of survivors cling to what passes for life in a postapocalyptic, dying landscape. A world where humans wander, drugged and lulled by electronic bliss. A dying world of no children and no art, where reading is forbidden.

When he lands on Earth—in Kentucky, disguised as a human—it's with the intention of saving his own people from extinction.

Esta novela, adictiva, trepidante, y con una tensión que no decae en cada partida, en cada viaje, en cada momento de abandono de la protagonista, que siempre oscila entre el éxito y el abismo, se quedará en el corazón de los oyentes. Y les servirá además como introducción al mundo del ajedrez, que, como Beth Harmon, parece tranquilo y accesible, pero contiene debajo todo un volcán de pasiones y peligros.

Story
In a time when America's power has been eroded by energy depletion and world control has been virtually given over to the Chinese, only one man has the courage to seek new mineral resources among the stars. He is Ben Belson, one of the richest men in the world, a man haunted by the memory of a loveless childhood and driven by needs and desires he can barely understand or control. His dream is to find the means to help America break the stranglehold of the corrupt interests who are keeping it a second-class power.

Story
Mit acht entdeckt Beth Harmon im Waisenhaus zwei Möglichkeiten, der harten Realität zu entfliehen: die grünen Beruhigungspillen, die den Kindern täglich verabreicht werden. Und Schach. Das Mädchen ist ein Ausnahmetalent und gewinnt Turnier um Turnier, mit 16 spielt sie gegen lauter erwachsene Männer um die US-Meisterschaft. Ihr Weg führt steil nach oben, doch bei jedem Schritt droht der Abgrund von Sucht und Selbstzerstörung. Denn für Beth steht viel mehr auf dem Spiel als Sieg und Niederlage.

"Spottefuglens" verden er en fremtid, hvor mennesket frivilligt har afgivet sin frihed til maskiner og robotter, og hvor selvtilfredsstillelse har erstattet almindeligt menneskeligt samkvem, kærlighed og venskab. Det er en stagnerende, døende verden uden børn, uden kunst, uden udvikling. "Spottefuglen" handler om to mennesker, Paul og Mary Lou, som møder hinanden, forelsker sig og sammen begynder at opdage og udforske en tidligere tids tabte værdier og glemte følelser.

Auf den ersten Blick könnte man Fast Eddie Felson für einen mittelmäßigen Billardspieler mit einem ehrlichen Lächeln und locker sitzender Brieftasche halten. Liegen aber die großen Scheine auf dem Tisch, zeigt Eddie sein ganzes Können und zockt seine Gegner gnadenlos ab. Doch die Chicagoer Billardlegende Minnesota Fats ist ein anderes Kaliber. Fast Eddie riskiert mehr als nur sein Geld und geht einen Pakt ein, um das Spiel seines Lebens zu spielen.
