In this "taut, tense international thriller" (Alafair Burke), streetwise U.S. agent Valentine Pescatore investigates a brutal killing that reveals a vast conspiracy of wealth and power. One of Kirkus Reviews's Best Mysteries of the Year! Valentine Pescatore, the globetrotting former Border Patrol agent, finds himself back on American soil investigating the merciless killing of a group of women in a motel room. At first, the crime seems to be a straightforward case of gangsters battling for territory. Soon, however, the motive is revealed to be much deeper and more sinister: a single witness who knows too much is being hunted, at any cost. From an author who has been praised for his "pounding action scenes [and] ferocious prose style" (Marilyn Stasio, NYTBR), Rip Crew races at breakneck speed as Pescatore finds himself face-to-face with his most terrifying assignment yet.

The Convert's Song

A Novel

By: Sebastian Rotella

A global manhunt sweeps up a former federal agent when his childhood friend becomes the chief suspect in a terrorist rampage. His hazardous stint in U.S. law enforcement behind him, Valentine Pescatore has started over as a private investigator in Buenos Aires. Then he runs into a long-lost friend: Raymond Mercer, a charismatic, troubled singer who has converted to Islam. After a terrorist attack kills hundreds, suspicion falls on Raymond -- and Pescatore. Angry and bewildered, Pescatore joins forces with Fatima Belhaj, an alluring French agent. They pursue the enigmatic Raymond into a global labyrinth of intrigue. Is he a terrorist, a gangster, a spy? Is his loyalty to Pescatore genuine, or just another lethal scam? From the jungles of South America to the streets of Paris to the battlegrounds of Baghdad, The Convert's Song leads Pescatore on a race to stop a high-stakes campaign of terror.

Triple Crossing

A Novel

By: Sebastian Rotella

Valentine Pescatore, a volatile rookie Border Patrol agent, is trying to survive the trenches of The Line in San Diego. He gets in trouble and finds himself recruited as an informant by Isabel Puente, a beautiful U.S. agent investigating a powerful Mexican crime family. As he infiltrates the mafia, Pescatore falls in love with Puente. But he clashes with her ally Leo Mendez, chief of a Tijuana anti-corruption unit. Politically charged violence escalates, plunging Pescatore into the lawless "triple border" region of South America and a showdown full of bloodshed and betrayal. Writing with rapid-fire intensity, Sebastian Rotella captures the despair and intrigue of the borderlands, where enforcing the law has become an act of subversion. Triple Crossing is an explosive and riveting debut.

Human-Inspired Balancing and Recovery Stepping for Humanoid Robots

By: Kaul, Lukas Sebastian

Robustly maintaining balance on two legs is an important challenge for humanoid robots. The work presented in this book represents a contribution to this area. It investigates efficient methods for the decision-making from internal sensors about whether and where to step, several improvements to efficient whole-body postural balancing methods, and proposes and evaluates a novel method for efficient recovery step generation, leveraging human examples and simulation-based reinforcement learning.

Triple Crossing

By: Sebastian Rotella

Chaque nuit, sur la Ligne entre le Mexique et les États-Unis, une foule de migrants tentent leur chance. Et chaque nuit, les agents de la patrouille frontalière américaine sont là pour les refouler. Certains, sans scrupules, profitent de la faiblesse des clandestins et donnent libre cours à leurs penchants sadiques. D’autres, comme Valentin Pescatore, essaient de s’en tenir aux règles. Cela ne l’empêche pas de commettre une entorse qui pourrait lui valoir une sanction sévère, à moins de collaborer... Mais avec qui, au juste? C’est bien les Américains qui lui demandent d’infiltrer une famille de narcos de Tijuana, mais qui peut garantir que son inexpérience ne va pas l’entraîner du côté de la corruption, de la drogue et de l’argent facile? En tout cas, c’est ce que redoute Leo Méndez, flic mexicain aux allures de justicier... Sebastian Rotella nous conduit vers de troubles frontières dans un thriller saisissant sur la mondialisation du crime.
