I flagellatori delloceano e un grande classico dellavventura marinaresca firmato da Luigi Motta, maestro del romanzo dazione. Nelle giungle misteriose di Ceylon e tra le rotte insidiose dellOceano Indiano si nasconde una minaccia senza precedenti: i Flagellatori dellOceano, una potente confraternita di pirati guidata dallenigmatico e spietato DArris. Quando il capitano Billy-Bones e il suo fidato ufficiale Twain si imbattono nei primi segni della loro presenza, scoprono subito che non si tratta di semplici predoni. Navi corazzate, armi elettriche e tecnologie sconosciute trasformano questi uomini in una forza devastante, capace di dominare i mari e seminare il terrore.Luigi Motta (18811955) e stato uno dei piu prolifici autori italiani di romanzi davventura della prima meta del Novecento. Nato a Bussolengo, in provincia di Verona, si impose giovanissimo nel panorama editoriale grazie al successo del suo primo romanzo, I flagellatori delloceano, premiato nel 1900 e introdotto da Emilio Salgari, di cui fu tra i piu noti continuatori. Seguendo la scia del maestro, Motta costrui una lunga carriera letteraria, pubblicando oltre cento opere tra romanzi davventura, racconti fantastici e testi di ispirazione scientifica. Il suo intento era quello di rinnovare il genere, conferendogli un taglio piu moderno e scientifico, a meta strada tra la narrativa dazione e la speculazione immaginifica, avvicinandosi per certi aspetti a modelli come Verne e Poe.

Tra emergenza, dominio e transizione.
