Miedo: Hay algo entre ellos… (Saga Olvidados #Volumen 5)
by Michael GrantA pesar del hambre, de las mentiras y de la plaga... están decididos a sobrevivir. «Una historia emocionante y llena de tensión, narrada con un estilo trepidante que no te deja descansar... Adoro este libro». Stephen King Ha pasado un año desde que todos los adultos desaparecieron...

En la oscuridad surgen los peores miedos, y se cumplen las intenciones más crueles.

El miedo de Montalbano (Comisario Montalbano #Volumen 9)
by Andrea CamilleriSeis irresistibles narraciones nos devuelven el universo del comisario Montalbano en toda su riqueza y esplendor, para deleite de los lectores adictos a su particular manera de entender la vida. A plena luz del despiadado sol siciliano, con un humor no exento del realismo más implacable, surge un caudal de sentimientos irrefrenables: el odio que provoca una venganza cuyas consecuencias han de durar décadas en Mejor la oscuridad; o los resquemores que despierta en todo el cuerpo de policía de Vigàta el comportamiento aparentemente ingenuo, pero cargado de miradas salvajes, de la joven Grazia Giangrasso, en Herido de muerte. Y para arropar al comisario en su ardua tarea, no faltan los elementos de siempre: los desencuentros telefónicos con su novia Livia, las entrañables broncas con Mimì Augello, la perplejidad que siempre consigue producirle Catarella, el inefable telefonista de la comisaría. En esta ocasión, a los personajes conocidos se añaden otros nuevos, como el formal y distante comandante Verruso, antítesis de un Montalbano que descubrirá, con sorpresa y admiración, la dignidad y valentía con las que su nuevo aliado custodia un terrible secreto. Como es habitual en él, Montalbano aprovecha la resolución de los casos para exponer el contraluz de las cosas, de los acontecimientos y circunstancias que rodean los hechos, como si éstos fueran consecuencia de una condición colectiva, de otros dramas y otros padecimientos largamente sufridos, que escapan al control del individuo. Y todas esas dudas, miedos, tentaciones y contradicciones no hacen más que subrayar, si cabe, la profunda dimensión humana que ha hecho de este personaje el favorito de millones de lectores en todo el mundo. La crítica ha dicho...«Algunos de los cuentos más interesantes y divertidos del comisario Montalbano.»Messagero Veneto «Hay autores cuyos libros suscitan admiración, sorpresa, emoción; los de Andrea Camilleri suscitan todo eso [...].»ABC Cultural«Camilleri ha demostrado que se puede conciliar armoniosamente lo serio con lo humorístico, lo grave y lo ligero, con comprensión hacia las debilidades humanas.»Babelia

MIKE Force
by Shaun DarraghA soldier serving with the MIKE Force in Vietnam wakes every day knowing that it might be his last. You don't run with the indigenous Montagnard strikers expecting to live forever. That's the nature of the beast that haunts American advisors serving with the tough little tribal volunteers in Vietnam's misty, enemy-infested Central Highlands. It's a tough, demanding duty and just the kind of thing that attracts military mavericks like former Peace Corps volunteer Galen St. Cyr, who discovers empathy and a new, mystical identity with the Jarai tribesmen of his MIKE Force unit. St. Cyr finds himself on the outskirts of the regular US military along with hand-picked American, Australian, and Vietnamese Special Forces advisors and quickly discovers that duty with Montagnard soldiers involves more than just beating the bush and killing the enemy. The world of the Jarai is both primitive and complex, and learning to survive in it is the challenge of St. Cyr's turbulent life. On a journey that becomes as much spiritual as military, he virtually becomes Jarai, taking a hauntingly beautiful native lover who commands a squad of assassins and listens to spirit voices, and deals with tribal separatist elements who are planning an anti-government coup.

The Mike Hammer Collection: Volume I
by Max Allan Collins Mickey SpillaneA Triple-Shot Anthology Fromthe Undisputed Master of Detective Fiction.In Mickey Spillane's classic detective novels, the action exploded in a bone-crunching catharsis. Men and women didn't make love, they collided. Tough brutes used their fists to drive home a message. Tougher broads used guile. And no one's morals were loftier than the gutter. No apologies. Little redemption. They rendered critics powerless, shocked intellectuals, inspired a new wave of pulp mayhem, and left the public hungry for more.Given their hot, fever-pitch prose and breathless pacing, Spillane's Mike Hammer novels quickly became one of the most successful series in publishing history--an innovative, no-holds-barred, ultravisceral explosion of sex and violence that made Hammer a literary legend, and Spillane, one of the bestselling authors of all time. After fifty years, neither has lost their power to sucker punch the reader.Find out for yourself in this first-time ever omnibus featuring the first three Mike Hammer novels by the living master of the hard-boiled mystery...
