Chess with a Dragon
by David GerroldFrom the Hugo and Nebula Award–winning author of The Martian Child: &“This playful, intricate game of survival . . . is one of Gerrold&’s best books.&” —Publishers Weekly The human race has been played for a fool. Though welcomed into the galactic community and given access to the combined knowledge of thousands of intelligent species, humans are largely regarded as an evolutionary mistake. Reptilian, insectoid, and other unclassifiable species are the dominant forms of intelligence. If it hadn&’t been for that annoying comet, the dinosaurs would have continued their evolutionary journey to sentience. Instead the ridiculous mammalians survived. And they want to be treated as equals. Now the humans find out that the Galactic Encyclopedia has a user fee—and they are overdrawn! If the debt can&’t be paid, humanity will be sold as slaves . . . or food. Asst. Liaison Officer Yake Singh Browne feels personally betrayed. He comes up with a strategy: If humanity can&’t win playing by the rules of the game, he&’ll just have to change the rules. Game on! &“Taut and well-constructed, providing a convincing glimpse of alien biology and psychology . . . A good yarn.&” —Kirkus Reviews &“Gerrold has written a fine but demanding science-fiction novel . . . Those with perseverance will enjoy the story&’s campy humor and unexpected plot twists.&” —School Library Journal

Chevah: Una segunda oportunidad
by Olga HermonLas segundas oportunidades existen... y suelen ser mejores que las primeras. Tener un número por nombre no es tan malo cuando viene acompañado de un regalo. Siete se ha hecho acreedora de una segunda oportunidad, aunque para ganársela debe, por decirlo así, aprobar su asignatura o, lo que es lo mismo, hacerse cargo del «nuevo». Solo que hay un pequeño detalle, el sujeto no trae muy buenas recomendaciones. Por suerte, la tutora a cargo cuenta con su expediente, algo de ayuda de arriba y su personalidad aguerrida y peleonera que no le permite tirar fácil la toalla. El «nuevo» es todo un caso y trae consigo su propia misión en las que sabe lleva todas las de perder. ¿Con que cuenta además de su espléndida presencia que no le sirven de nada donde ahora se encuentra?: el instructivo que Siete le entregó, la inocencia de un niño, porque el apartado de los recuerdos en su cabeza está por completo vacío, y el apoyo de su mentora. Aunque ninguno de los dos se imagina siquiera que la convivencia entre ambos traerá de vuelta para ella aquel espíritu indomable y reincidente de su pasado, capaz de trascender hasta lo que no se puede ver. Entre el cielo y la tierra, lo sublime y lo efímero, lo permanente y lo pasajero, dos seres involucrados por un Plan divino se disputan derechos, deberes, tiempo y espacio en el afán de mantenerse sostenidos para ponerse a cuentas.

Chevengur
by Andrey PlatonovChevengur is a revolutionary novel about revolutionary ardor and despair. Zakhar Pavlovich comes from a world of traditional crafts to work as a train mechanic, motivated by his belief in the transformative power of industry. His adopted son, Sasha Dvanov, embraces revolution, which will transform everything: the words we speak and the lives we live, souls and bodies, the soil underfoot and the sun overhead. Seeking communism, Dvanov joins up with Stepan Kopionkin, a warrior for the cause whose steed is the fearsome cart horse Strength of the Proletariat. Together they cross the steppe, encountering counterrevolutionaries, desperados, and visionaries of all kinds. At last they reach the isolated town of Chevengur. There communism is believed to have been achieved because everything that is not communism has been eliminated. And yet even in Chevengur the revolution recedes from sight. Comic, ironic, grotesque, disturbingly poetic in its use of language, and profoundly sorrowful, Chevengur—here published in a new English translation based on the most authoritative Russian text—is the most ambitious of the extraordinary novels that the great Andrey Platonov wrote in the 1920s and 1930s, when Soviet Russia was moving from revolutionary euphoria to state terror.
