Melanie fills Wanderer's thoughts with visions of the man Melanie loves--Jared, a human who still lives in hiding. Unable to separate herself from her body's desires, Wanderer yearns for a man she's never met. As outside forces make Wanderer and Melanie unwilling allies, they set off to search for the man they both love.--From publisher description.

Desde el corazón de la industria del porno, un novela hilarante, provocativa y deslenguada del autor de El club de la lucha . Seiscientos tíos. Una reina del porno. Un récord mundial para la posteridad. Una película indispensable para cualquier coleccionista de porno que se precie. Cassie Wright, legendaria reina del porno en decadencia, decide culminar su carrera batiendo el récord mundial de polvos consecutivos con hombres distintos. Seiscientos, ni más ni menos. En una habitación repleta y ruidosa, los señores 72, 137 y 600 aguardan su turno para hacer historia. Cada uno de ellos espera que el breve encuentro con Cassie cambie sus vidas para siempre, pero, como en todas las novelas de Chuck Palahniuk, nada sale como esperaban. La crítica ha dicho... «Chuck y el porno, el porno y Chuck. Inseparables como una mano y un puño americano, como las polillas y la luz: una combinación fatalista y perfecta». The Washington Post «Palahniuk escribe novelas como anfetaminas. Te las tragas y experimentas un subidón extraño y delirante. Cuando llegas a la última página, te baja, y te preguntas a quién demonios has estado abrazando». Johann Hari, The Independent «Al abrir una novela de Palahniuk, el lector puede estar seguro de una cosa: en algún momento le repugnará, y le divertirá. En manos de Palahniuk, las dos reacciones son apropiadas.» Rocky Mountains News «Claro y efectivo [...] Snuff no va únicamente acerca de la completa falta de atractivo de la industria del porno. También anima a pensar que cualquier cultura que produce una industria tan poco sugerente tiene que estar inmersa en copulaciones mecánicas y sin sentido». Minneapolis Star Tribune

No war can last forever. Now, in the long and punishing battle between the defiant champions of the New Jedi Order and the juggernaut that is the Galactic Alliance, the endgame is finally at hand. With so much lost-and nothing less than the course of the future still at stake-there can be no turning back. No matter the consequences. The rebel cause is losing ground under the twin blows of Admiral Gilad Pellaeon's assassination and the death of Mara Jade Skywalker. At the same time, having gained the support of the Imperial Remnant and its ruthlessly efficient forces, the Galactic Alliance, with the extraordinary power and dark brilliance of newly ascendant Sith Lord Darth Caedus at its helm, may be unstoppable. Tormented and torn between the call of duty and the thirst for vengeance, Luke has searched the Force and beheld an unspeakable vision of the galaxy enslaved under tyranny more monstrous than even Palpatine's. Now it seems that the last, best hope lies in mobilizing the scattered Jedi for one decisive search-and-destroy mission. The objective: eliminate Darth Caedus. It's a plan that will be as difficult and dangerous to execute as it is daring. For Caedus is a scion of both the Skywalker and Solo bloodlines whose command of the Force surpasses even that of his grandfather Darth Vader. There is only one who is bound by destiny to stand against him in what will surely be a duel to the death, only one with an outside chance of bringing down the dark lord who was once Jacen Solo. Failure is not an option. The furious final moments between power and peace are here, and whoever confronts Darth Caedus will decide the outcome-and the fate of those left standing.
