Le 9 juin 1870, Charles Dickens meurt, laissant inachevé Les mystères d'Edwin Drood, roman policier avant l'heure. Il n'a pu écrire que six épisodes sur les douze prévus. Cinq ans plus tôt, Dickens était miraculeusement sorti indemme d'un dramatique accident de train. Dan Simmons s'empare de cet événement : alors que Dickens tente d'aider les voyageurs blessés, il aperçoit un personnage spectral au nez et aux doigts coupés, Drood. Dickens se rend chez l'écrivain Wilkie Collins, son collaborateur et rival, et lui fait part de l'épisode étrange qu'il vient de vivre. Les deux compères se mettent en chasse de leur Moriarty - ennemi le plus redouté de Sherlock Holmes - à eux : Drood. À travers les bas-fond de Londres à l'époque victorienne, dans le brouillard des hallucinations de Wilkie Collins qui abuse de son traitement au laudanum, on découvre un Dickens promeneur infatigable, féru d'hypnose, amoureux clandestin d'une jeune actrice et dont le sombre esprit se fêle un peu plus à chaque page.

Eating Animals is a riveting exposé which presents the gut-wrenching truth about the price paid by the environment, the government, the Third World and the animals themselves in order to put meat on our tables more quickly and conveniently than ever before.
Interweaving a variety of monologues and balancing humour and suspense with informed rationalism, Eating Animals is as much a novelistic account of an intellectual journey as it is a fresh and open look at the ethical debate around meat-eating. Unlike most other books on the subject, Eating Animals also explores the possibilites for those who do eat meat to do so more responsibly, making this an important book not just for vegetarians, but for anyone who is concerned about the ramifications and significance of their chosen lifestyle.
