L. Sprague de Camp SF Gateway Omnibus: Lest Darkness Fall, Rogue Queen, The Tritonian Ring
by L. Sprague deCampFrom the vaults of the SF Gateway, the most comprehensive digital library of classic SFF titles ever assembled, comes an ideal introduction to the varied work of author, editor and critic, L. Sprague de Camp.Although arguably best known for his continuation of Robert E. Howard's Conan stories, de Camp was an important figure in the formative period of modern SF, alongside the likes of Isaac Asimov and Robert A. Heinlein. In a career spanning seven decades, he won the HUGO, WORLD FANTASY LIFE ACHIEVEMENT and SFWA GRAND MASTER AWARDs. This omnibus collects three previously out-of-print classics: LEST DARKNESS FALL, ROGUE QUEEN and THE TRITONIAN RING. Lest Darkness Fall:The Roman Empire had spread order, knowledge and civilisation throughout the ancient world. When Rome fell, the light of reason flickered out across the Empire. The Dark Ages had begun; they would last a thousand years. Could a man from the 20th century prevent the fall of Rome? Rogue Queen:Decades before a certain five-year voyage, L. Sprague de Camp sent a spirited crew to a strange and distant world, where their meeting with its inhabitants created chaos in local politics, upset the balance of power and generally created the most entertaining havoc. The Tritonian Ring:The gods of Poseidonis - or Atlantis - were powerful and real. Now they were determined to destroy the kingdom ruled by the father of Prince Vakar, the one man whose mind they could not read. The only way to save the kingdom was to discover that thing which the gods feared most.
L.A. Cinderella
by Amanda BerryCareer-driven accountant Natalie Collins wasn't the type to wish for a Hollywood hero to rescue her. She preferred life away from celebrity glitz. Too bad the man who drove her wild was an A-list actor.With her understated beauty and brains, Natalie was the one person Chase Booker could trust. He could see the strong, sexy woman beneath her shy exterior, and she stirred a blinding passion in him that made it easy to forget that they were from different worlds. But when she was in his arms, their worlds were dangerously close to colliding….
LA ISLA FLOTANTE (EBOOK)
by Roberto PettinatoEl delicado límite entre la vida y la ficción es una mentira. No hay nada de delicado ahí, y contra ese lugar común se abalanza Roberto Pettinato en La isla flotante, su debut en un tipo de relato hecho de diapositivas destrozadas pero curiosamente nítidas, viñetas de varios sabores y olores, lecturas, recuerdos, ajustes de cuentas con el pasado y con las palabras. Cuenta Pettinato, como quien hace memoria porque no tiene más remedio, una historia de amor correspondido pocas veces, que es la de Clara y Don Roberto, su Hombre, ese que la hizo suspirar y odiar a lo largo de toda una vida, ese al que defendió como si de una Evita Ninja se tratara pero al que hubiese asesinado con sus propias manos y de un golpe certero en el corazón. En estas páginas Pettinato intima con nosotros, sus lectores, nos ofrece sus reliquias, busca los orígenes del recuerdo y sus secuelas, desempolva una conciencia plena de detalles y espacios oscuros, que de principio a fin nos conmueve y asombra.

LA REINA DE CRISTAL I (La Reina de Cristal)
by Ana Isabel Conejo Alonso Francisco Javier Pelegrín MartínezA los diecisiete años, todos los jóvenes de Hydra pasan por el ritual del mar, pero solo unos pocos, en su mayoría mujeres, se transforman en sirénidos y descubren su don: la videncia, la memoria, la compasión? El día en que Kira descubrió su don comenzó con un mal sueño? Sin embargo, ni siquiera eso le hizo presagiar el cambio que daría su vida: de la aldea de pescadores, a la corte, a las intrigas de palacio, a las luchas de poder entre las hermandades, la guerra con Decia? Y en medio de todo, Kira, el arma definitiva, la Reina de Cristal, en conflicto entre el amor y la traición a su pueblo. Una trilogía literaria de ciencia ficción que te atrapa desde su comienzo como los grandes éxitos de series televisivas. Juntos, Ana Alonso y Javier han publicado más de veinte libros juveniles. Su obra ha recibido galardones como el Premio Barco de Vapor (2008) o el premio White Raven (2012). Sus libros se han traducido a numerosos idiomas, desde el inglés, el francés y el alemán hasta el japonés y el coreano.
LA REINA DE CRISTAL II (La Reina de Cristal)
by Ana Isabel Conejo Alonso Francisco Javier Pelegrín MartínezKira está en Decia, el país de sus enemigos, como cautiva. Ha sido llevada allí para impedir que su pueblo, Hydra, use sus dones mágicos en la guerra contra los decios. Porque ella es la Reina de Cristal, capaz de dominar a voluntad las aguas. Y lo peor es que todo es culpa de Edan, el único hombre del que Kira ha estado realmente enamorada. Él la ha ofrecido a su hermano el rey Kadar, quien la ha convertido en su prometida. Para ella no puede existir una humillación mayor, y sin embargo? hay algo que le impide odiar a Kadar. Quizá, con lo que ninguno había contado era con la interferencia de sus sentimientos en este juego de poder y política. Amor y odio pueden ser dos caras de la misma moneda. Una trilogía literaria de ciencia ficción que te atrapa desde su comienzo como los grandes éxitos de series televisivas. Juntos, Ana Alonso y Javier han publicado más de veinte libros juveniles.

LA REINA DE CRISTAL III (La Reina de Cristal)
by Ana Isabel Conejo Alonso Francisco Javier Pelegrín MartínezKira se ha convertido en la reina de los decios, un pueblo que la odia. Ella es la extranjera hidria que domina las aguas, que ha despertado a los malditos, que ha causado una guerra interna? No puede fiarse de nadie, ni siquiera de su compatriota Ode, ansioso de poder; ni mucho menos de Edan, el amor de su vida? Desesperada, acudirá a una vieja bruja, quizá la única que entiende la naturaleza de la Reina de Cristal y la conjura que se cierne sobre su destino, mucho más terrible de lo que imagina. Una trilogía literaria de ciencia ficción que te atrapa desde su comienzo como los grandes éxitos de series televisivas. Juntos, Ana Alonso y Javier han publicado más de veinte libros juveniles.

LAS REENCARNACIONES DE ANA BOLENA
by Sandra Cifuentes Dowling Nell GavinCorre el año de 1536. Enrique y Ana están a merced de influencias que escapan a su control, han demostrado ser explosivamente incompatibles y se hallan atrapados en una historia que acabará en traición, tan feroz para Ana que requerirá de muchas vidas hasta lograr recuperarse. Enrique, aparentemente en defensa de Ana -aunque más bien por mera perversión, según la propia Ana observa-, aterroriza Inglaterra decretando asesinatos masivos por cuestiones políticas con el fin de protegerla. Ante el horror de Ana, su alguna vez apasionado esposo se vuelve finalmente contra ella y acaba ejecutándola. Esta ficción sobre reencarnaciones comienza con la ejecución de Ana. Su furia por la traición de su esposo tiene el suficiente ímpetu para perdurar siglos, pero la protagonista del libro percibe que la tarea será durísima: deberá revivir su historia junto a Enrique a lo largo de una serie de vidas pasadas y descubrir el perdón dentro de ella. La misión es muy difícil y podría tomarle largo tiempo cumplirla. El esposo en cuestión es Enrique Tudor, el famosísimo rey Enrique VIII. La narradora es la terca y voluble Ana Bolena, quien no muestra disposición alguna a perdonar. Qué duda cabe: esta es una historia de amor inusual. Las Reencarnaciones de Ana Bolena, en su versión en inglés (Threads), fue finalista del concurso William Faulkner en categoría Mejor Novela. Nell Gavin también es autora de Hang On, novela ganadora de medalla de plata en los premios Living Now Book y elegida entre las opiniones de Red Adept como título selecto con calificación de "extraordinario en su género".

LET'S GO LET'S GO LET'S GO
by Cleo QianLonglisted for the Carnegie Medal for Excellence A TIME Best Book of 2023 “Qian has a gift for sensory details, and for the speculative and grotesque. . . . a pleasure to read.”—Raven Leilani, author of Luster The electric, unsettling, and often surreal stories in LET'S GO LET'S GO LET'S GO explore the alienated, technology-mediated lives of restless Asian and Asian American women today. A woman escapes into dating simulations to forget her best friend’s abandonment; a teenager begins to see menacing omens on others’ bodies after her double eyelid surgery; reunited schoolmates are drawn into the Japanese mountains to participate in an uncanny social experiment; a supernatural karaoke machine becomes a K-pop star’s channel for redemption. In every story, characters refuse dutiful, docile stereotypes. They are ready to explode, to question conventions. Their compulsions tangle with unrequited longing and queer desire in their search for something ineffable across cities, countries, and virtual worlds. With precision and provocation, Cleo Qian’s immersive debut jolts us into the reality of lives fragmented by screens, relentless consumer culture, and the flattening pressures of modern society—and asks how we might hold on to tenderness against the impulses within us.
