Zodiac Station
by Tom HarperAn extraordinary thriller set at the frozen edge of the world, perfect for fans of Dan Simmons, Michael Crichton and Dan Brown.In the Arctic Ocean, the US Coast Guard icebreaker Terra Nova batters its way through the pack ice. There shouldn't be anyone near them for hundreds of miles. But then a lone skier, half-dead with cold, emerges out of the snow. His name is Tom Anderson, and he is the only survivor of a disaster at Zodiac Station, a scientific research base deep in the Arctic Circle. He tells an incredible story of scientists and spies, of lust and greed, of jealousy, mayhem and murder. But his tale simply doesn't add up. Whose blood is smeared across his clothes? Why is there a bullet hole through the jacket he's wearing, and why is that jacket labelled with someone else's name? It's clear that more was going on at Zodiac Station than Anderson is telling. And someone else may have survived the disaster, as well... someone who has killed before, and who is willing to kill again.(P)2014 Hodder & Stoughton
Zodiac Station: A Novel
by Tom HarperFor fans of Dan Brown and Michael Crichton—an eerie, evocative thriller set in the unforgiving Arctic from the author of The Orpheus Descent.Deep in the Arctic, the US Coast Guard icebreaker Terra Nova batters its way through the frozen sea. A gaunt figure skis out of the fog on the pack ice. He says his name is Thomas Anderson, and that he’s the lone survivors of a terrible accident at the research outpost Zodiac Station, located on the ice-bound island of Utgard.Ten days earlier, he’d arrived at Zodiac Station looking to resurrect a career destroyed by scientific scandal. But things quickly went wrong when the man who hired him, brilliant biochemist Martin Hagger, turned up dead, at the bottom of a crevasse. The base commander insisted he fell. But footprints in the snow told a much different story. As Anderson tells a tale of sabotage, suspicion, and paranoia, the mystery only deepens.When other survivors are discovered and their stories cast doubt on Anderson’s reliability, it seems the grim fate of the scientists at Zodiac Station may involve human greed, jealousy, oil company trickery, Russian espionage, genetic experimentation, and global warming. But the truth is something no one on the Terra Nova could have imagined.A fast-paced, gripping thriller that marries science and adventure, Zodiac Station is as chilling and unpredictable as the fierce Arctic landscape.

by Nora Price"When the truth about her past is disclosed...the effect works like gangbusters." -New York Times Book Review A girl's letters to her best friend reveal two lives derailed by anorexia in this haunting debut that's Laurie Halse Anderson's Wintergirls meets The Sixth Sense. Zoe knows she doesn't belong in a hospital--so why is she in one? Twin Birch isn't just any hospital. It's a strange mansion populated by unnerving staff and glassy-eyed patients. It's a place for girls with serious problems; skinny, spindly girls with eating disorders who have a penchant for harming themselves. Zoe isn't like them. And she can't figure out why she was sent here. Writing letters to her best friend Elise keep her sane, grounded in the memories of her past--but mired in them, too. Elise never writes back. Zoe is lost without her, unsure of how to navigate tenuous new friendships and bizarre rules without Elise by her side. But as her letters intertwine with journal entries chronicling her mysterious life at Twin Birch, another narrative unfolds. The hidden story of a complicated friendship; of the choices we make, the truths we tell others, and the lies we tell ourselves. The story of a friendship that has the potential to both save--and damage beyond repair. And Zoe finds she must confront the truth about her past once and for all, before she can finally let go. Nora Price's debut young adult book is a heart-wrenching meditation on the bonds of friendship with a gripping psychological twist.

When a tycoon and reality TV star improbably wins his party's nomination for the presidency, pundits and analysts are as baffled as they are certain that he will never win the general election. What can a man who already lives at the top of a golden skyscraper with a supermodel wife still want? Absent entirely from their prognostications is the possibility that it could be to gorge upon the brains of the living! That he dreams of building a border wall to better keep delicious humans in! That he seeks to make American great again. . . for zombies!

Yet a terrifying question still remains. . . In a nation divided along political lines as never before, will such a revelation change anything?

La zona muerta
by Stephen KingLa zona muerta es una de las mejores y más espeluznantes obras de Stephen King. A John Smith le horrorizó descubrir que había pasado más de cuatro años en coma. Pero le horrorizó aún más descubrir que podía conocer las cosas por anticipado. Él sabía que aquel hombre perverso iba a convertirse en presidente de Estados Unidos e iba a destruir el mundo. Y por eso tenía que matarlo... Los lectores opinan:«Magnífica novela, no de terror, sino de intriga y misterio. Pero por encima de todo, una novela filosófica sobre qué haríamos si supiéramos qué va a pasar en el futuro y pudiéramos evitarlo. Stephen King se centra en un personaje para sumergirnos en la mente humana, sus miedos y sus dudas. El desenlace del libro no tiene desperdicio alguno.»Patrick en entrelectores.com «Esel primer libro que me leí de Stephen King y me pareció brillante. El final te hace pensar "¿qué haría yo?"»Lector anónimo en casadellibro.com «[...] Como haría años más tarde enLa tienda, haciendo una radiografía de toda una comunidad, aquí King, a partir de su personaje John Smith, lleva a cabo una visión de los Estados Unidos de los años 70, con los diferentes cambios políticos y escándalos que se sucedieron. Todo esto acompañado del drama de un hombre que ha permanecido unos cuatro años en coma y al volver a su conciencia retorna a un mundo ajeno a él.»Sumnik85 en quelibroleo.com
Zona muerta (Serie Washington Poe #Volumen 4)
by M.W. CravenLa fascinante y nueva entrega de la serie protagonizada por Washington Poe.

Todo hace indicar que es un simple asesinato por parte de un proxeneta, pero su asistencia fue solicitada personalmente, por el tipo de personas que prefieren permanecer en las sombras. A medida que Poe y su inseparable compañera Tilly Bradshaw profundizan en el caso, se enfrentan a preguntas aparentemente sin respuesta: a pesar de haber sido examinados exhaustivamente para un trabajo de alto perfil, ¿por qué no se verifica nada en los antecedentes de la víctima? ¿Por qué se dejó un pequeño adorno en la escena del crimen y por qué alguien del equipo de investigación lo robó? ¿Y cuál es la conexión con un atraco a un banco perfectamente ejecutado tres años antes, un atraco en el que no se llevaron absolutamente nada? La crítica ha dicho...«Un Poe más Poe que nunca y con una Tilly que se parece más a la de los primeros libros. ¿Te la recomiendo? Sin dudarlo.»Merce Fran «Una trama muy buena, llena de giros y sorpresas que mantienen al lector pegado hasta la última página.» «¡Ya tengo morriña de Poe y Tilly! ¡Quiero más libros!»El hormiguero de libros «Un ejemplo perfecto de cómo mantenerte en vilo hasta la última página sin trucos o violencia excesiva, solo con un misterio muy bien hilado.»L.
