Among those adversaries are a powerful church that believes in a forgotten epoch of advanced alien technology, the white supremacist thugs in its employ, and the rival archaeologist who recently left Chase for dead. Chase can’t resist a challenge—or the British spy recruiting her. There’s just one problem. If Chase has any hope of unearthing Alexander’s tomb before the forces hot on her heels do, she’ll need the help of the one person she’s been afraid to see since her fall from grace: Zoe Forrester, the heir to a hidden journal that holds the key—and Chase’s ex-girlfriend.

Desde entonces, esta obra maestra de la imaginación está considerada una de las series más ambiciosas del género de los últimos años. Después de décadas de guerras intestinas, las tribus de los Tiste Edur al fin se han unido bajo el mando del Rey Warlock. Hay paz, pero el precio ha sido terrible: un pacto hecho con un poder oculto cuyos motivos son, en el mejor de los casos, sospechosos, y, en el peor, mortales. Al sur, el rapaz reino de Lether, impaciente por ver cumplido el papel que profetizaron para él largo tiempo atrás como imperio renacido, ha esclavizado a sus vecinos menos civilizados. Es decir, a todos salvo a los Tiste Edur. El destino ha decretado que también ellos han de caer. Y, sin embargo, la lucha inminente que librarán estos dos pueblos no es más que un pálido reflejo de un conflicto más primitivo. Se están reuniendo antiguas fuerzas y con ellas la herida todavía abierta de una vieja traición y un ansia de venganza... La crítica ha dicho...«Homérico en alcance y visión... Una historia que ni por un instante deja de emocionar y entretener.»SF Site «Erikson se encuentra en lo más alto del panteón de la fantasía épica.»Publishers Weekly «Erikson no tiene competidor en lo que se refiere a acción e imaginación, y alcanza la categoría de Tolkien y Donaldson en su visión mítica, incluso podría superarlos.»SF Site

Mark Twain's Tales of the Macabre & Mysterious
by R. Kent RasmussenMark Twain is best known for his funny stories and novels about immortal boy heroes; however, his writings extend far into other fields. He wrote in a dizzying variety of genres, and much of his work explores themes well outside the realms of normal human experience. Although he is not generally known as a science fiction, fantasy, horror, or mystery author, he actually wrote a great deal in those fields. The 32 strange and macabre tales in the present volume—drawn mostly from his lesser-known works—offer a rarely seen side of him. Brought vividly to life by nearly 70 entirely original and realistic illustrations, these tales place characters in macabre and inexplicable situations, send them into remote dimensions of time and space, and have them commit terrible crimes, make incredible mistakes, and play fantastic tricks on one another. Readers will find this collection eye-opening, chilling, and thought-provoking ... but also full of laughs!
