I Roy Jacobsens roman De uverdige følger vi en gjeng gutter og jenter fra en bygård på østkanten i Oslo under den tyske okkupasjonen. De lever i fattigdom, men bidrar på kreativt vis ved å svindle, stjæle som ravner, forfalske dokumenter og begå omfattende innbrudd. De kvier seg heller ikke for å utnytte fienden. Med denne barneflokken tegner den prisbelønte forfatteren et brutalt ærlig og varmt portrett av et miljø, en tid og en hverdag som til nå har vært nær sagt fraværende i krigshistorien. Dette er en Roy Jacobsen-roman av aller beste merke. De uverdige er både brutal og underholdende, en klok perle av en fortelling, skrevet av en forfatter på hjemmebane.

Meanwhile, Tamaki Tamai, a psychic detective from the Channeling Agency, has been commissioned to explore strange changes in the temporal universe brought about by two forces, one represented by the teachings of a professor named Rahampol, the other by the complex, evolving Motoko entity.
