La décima sinfonía
by Joseph GelinekUn thriller que pone al descubierto la leyenda sobre la creación de una sinfonía que nadie ha conocido jamás, la Décima Sinfonía de Beethoven. El mundo de la música clásica se revoluciona cuando el prestigioso director de orquesta Roland Thomas interpreta, en un concierto privado, la supuesta reconstrucción del primer movimiento de la mítica Décima Sinfonía de Beethoven. Uno de los invitados al acontecimiento, el joven musicólogo Daniel Paniagua, sospecha al escuchar una música tan sublime y le asaltan las dudas: ¿Y si la partitura original de la Décima existiera y hubiera llegado a manos de Thomas? ¿Y si el genio de Bonn hubiera vencido la supuesta «maldición de la décima», que se dicen acababa con la vida de los compositores que intentaron finalizarla? Tras un cruento asesinato, comienza una peligrosa carrera contrarreloj en la que Daniel, ayudado por una intrépida juez y un perspicaz inspector de homicidios, tiene que enfrentarse a influyentes grupos de poder, desde oscuros hombres de negocios a descendientes de Napoleón, que pelean por hacerse con el llamado «Santo Grial» de la música clásica. Ninguno de ellos sabe que la respuesta a todas sus preguntas está en el convulso pasado de Beethoven y en un amor prohibido que ha permanecido oculto hasta ahora... Reseña:«La tensión narrativa está ajustada, los hechos históricos suscitan interés y asombro, y la música acaricia constantemente los oídos. Esta novela merece todos los elogios. ¡Queremos saber quién se esconde tras el seudónimo de Gelinek!»crimezone.nl

Decipher
by Stel PavlouA “spellbinding mainstream science-fiction spectacular” from the bestselling author, screenwriter, and Doctor Who short story contributor (Kirkus Reviews, starred review).Mankind has had 12,000 years to decipher the message . . .We have one week left . . . There is a signal emanating from deep within the ice of Antarctica. Atlantis has awoken. Ancient monuments all over the worlds from the Pyramids of Giza, to Mexico to the ancient sites of China are reacting . . . to a brewing crisis not of this earth, but somewhere out in the solar system. Connecting to each other through the oceans. Using low frequency sound waves to create an ancient network. The earth is thrown into panic stations. For it seems that the signals emanating from Atlantis are a prelude to something much greater. Could it be that the entire city is in fact one giant ancient machine? And to what end? For what purpose?It is the year 2012, the same year Mayan belief prophesized the end of the world. Two armies, American and Chinese stand on the brink of war for the control of the most potent force ever known to man. The secrets of Atlantis. Secrets which are encoded in crystal shards retrieved from the sunken city. Secrets which Mankind has had twelve thousand years to decipher . . . but which will now destroy it within one week.“A rocketing adventure . . .
