An ensemble novel by the Bologna collective Wu Ming, set in Italy in 1978: the year of Aldo Moro's kidnapping and murder, and of an unprecedented wave of flying-saucer sightings. Its characters include Milena Cravero, a young anthropologist from Turin's new left who studies UFO enthusiasts; Martin Zanka, a former communist journalist turned bestselling author on archaeoastronomy; and his son Vincenzo, who takes refuge in a commune beside a mountain steeped in legend, where two hikers vanished in the woods without trace.

Why we only look at used copies

In Spain, Law 10/2007 fixes the price of new books: the publisher sets it and shops can only take 5% off. Amazon, FNAC and your local bookshop all cost the same. The only place the price moves is second-hand.
