Hombres de Armas: Una Novela Del Mundodisco (Mundodisco #Volumen 15)
by Terry PratchettSiguen las aventuras increíbles en Mundodisco. «¡Sé un HOMBRE en la Guardia de la Ciudad! ¡La Guardia de la Ciudad necesita HOMBRES!» Hasta ahora, sin embargo, la Guardia Nocturna solo cuenta con el cabo Zanahoria (técnicamente un enano), el agente Cuddy (realmente un enano), el agente Detritus (un troll), la agente Angua (una mujer... la mayor parte del tiempo) y el cabo Nobbs (descalificado de la carrera evolutiva por hacer trampas). Y necesitan toda la ayuda que puedan conseguir. Porque hay un asesino suelto en las calles, con un arma nueva y mortífera y, lo más peligroso, un PLAN para devolver a la ciudad de Ankh-Morpork su grandeza perdida. Además, tienen que desenmascararlo antes del mediodía, cuando el capitán Vimes devuelva su placa y se case con la mujer más rica de la ciudad. Comparado con lo que les viene encima, acabar con aquel dragón que atacó la ciudad hace un tiempo resultó fácil, ¡hasta enfrentarse a un ejército de enanos sería más fácil! Y si la tarea es complicada para un cuerpo de vigilancia normal, para la Guardia Nocturna puede convertirse, literalmente, en un auténtico «rompecocos»... Reseña:«Terry Pratchett es tremendamente divertido. Es sabio. Tiene estilo.»Daily Telegraph

Maran decides to investigate, but what she discovers will change her life forever. An alien pod has landed on Terrat Du. And the alien who emerges has an incredible tale to tell: Known as "The Traveler," he is an escaped survivor from a planet under attack by a race of brutal barbarians intent on conquering his planet, Arakka--and exterminating his people. Incredibly, The Traveler insists he has returned to Arakka. Terrat Du is Arakka. The alien is home. How can this be? Maran comes face-to-face with a horrifying question: Could it have been her people who launched the genocide against the Arakkans? A startling debut novel from a promising young writer, Home is a powerful statement about the nature of history and truth, and an affecting portrait of a young woman's odyssey of redemption"

Home From the Sea (Elemental Masters #7)
by Mercedes LackeyThey came from the sea... For as long as she could remember, Mari Prothero had seen things--tiny manlike creatures that were mischievous and wore only seaweed, and beings that seemed to be made of water. Mari had grown up in a tiny Welsh fishing village where she lived alone with her father, Daffyd, a master fisherman--her mother and brother having drowned when she was a child. On the morning of her eighteenth birthday, her father finally told her the great secret of the Prothero family. Her family had an ancient covenant with magical shape-shifters, the Selch. Her lost mother and brother were not truly dead, but neither were they human. Now Mari must abide by her family's magical compact or face dire consequences. But Mari is not without protectors. The tiny creatures she had seen her whole life counseled her to bargain with the Selch. While in faraway London, the head of the Elemental Masters had dispatched some very unique champions to come to Mari's aid....From the Paperback edition.hen she was a child, she had asked her father about these creatures, but Daffyd was so upset by these conversations that Mari had given up trying to talk to him.But on the morning of her eighteenth birthday, her father finally told her the great secret of the Prothero Luck -- and what they must do to keep it.

While in faraway London, Lord Alderscroft, the head of the Elemental Masters, was aware that a powerful but untrained Water Master on the far coast of Wales was being threatened by some of the Elemental Elder Spirits, and he had dispatched some very unique champions to come to Mari's aid....
