Así que emprende el viaje pero cuando llega a Worlorn, un planeta prácticamente abandonado que se hunde poco a poco en las tinieblas, alumbrado por soles moribundos, Dirk encuentra a Gwen atada a otro hombre y a una sociedad tribal y violenta que pondrá a prueba su lealtad y su capacidad para sobrevivir. <P><P> Muerte de la luz es la primera novela de George R. R. Martin, una de las historias de amor más emblemáticas de la ciencia ficción que ha conmovido a cientos de miles de lectores alrededor del mundo y que los ha asombrado con la imponente belleza de sus escenarios estelares.
Muerte de un Unicornio
by Nadia Dantes Fátima A. MarquésLos unicornios fueron descubiertos en el año 2050 pero no eran inocentes o hermosos. Sí, eran blancos, poseían un cuerno capaza de curar las enfermedades y solo salían de sus escondites por una virgen sin embargo hasta aquí se acaban las similitudes entre la realidad y el mito de los unicornios. No ha existido una criatura tan rapaz y corrupta como el unicornio. Destruyeron el mundo y sólo al destruirlos a todos el mundo podrá recuperarse. En verdad agradezco que no sean puros y hermosos, si lo fuesen tal vez me sentiría culpable por todo lo que debo hacerles. No sólo es mi deber, como caballero virgen el cazarlos, es un placer.

Multiples: A Short Story
by Robert SilverbergFor some people, one personality is just never enough. A story of duplicity from the Hugo and Nebula Award–winning author of Lord Valentine&’s Castle. Slowly, a climate of acceptance has been growing for people with divided personalities, especially in big cities like San Francisco. There are clubs with mirrors and lights that help people to switch and double, maybe even triple. When, like Cleo, you feel your world has become stale and cramped, they&’re the perfect place to meet someone. But first Cleo has to pretend that she&’s a multiple, because they&’re notoriously indifferent to singletons and their bland, overly simple selves. When she meets Van, she&’s able to pull off her masquerade for a week of bliss with him (and Paul, and Hal, and . . .). Or so she thinks. When Cleo is caught in her lie, she attempts to bow out gracefully. But Van doesn&’t want to lose her. In fact, he wants more of her. There could be a whole horde of selves inside of her—and he knows just how to get them out . . . &“In the thoughtful and emotionally evocative title story, &‘Multiples,&’ multiple personality &‘disorder&’ is normal, and indeed a desired state, creating an effective metaphor for the loneliness experienced by socially isolated individuals.&” —SF Site Praise for Robert Silverberg and his short stories &“When Silverberg is at the top of his form, no one is better.&” —George R. R. Martin, #1 New York Times–bestselling author &“Decades after being originally published, most of these stories are still just as entertaining and powerful as they were when first released. A singularly unique collection.&” —Kirkus Reviews

Munchkin Vol. 1 (Munchkin #1)
by Steve Jackson Mike Holmes Rian Sygh Ian McGinty Thomas Siddell Jim Zub John KovalicBased on the immensely popular card game, Munchkin comes to comics! Munchkin takes place in a very flexible mashup of genres. Originally a satire of fantasy roleplaying, it has since then taken on non-fantasy and non-gaming elements. Characters in Munchkin change constantly but never permanently. What do Munchkins do? They play for the win. They are rules lawyers. They backstab. They gloat. They whine when someone else backstabs or gloats. Munchkins are emotional. Munchkins may be clever, but they are never wise. Munchkins have short attention spans. Munchkins may be brave in the face of awful odds, but they are even braver when beating up crippled goblins for their lunch money. If a Munchkin seems to show mercy, it's because he was bored or distracted. After all, even stomping an ant helps you level up.

Mungo
by Rosalie FryThere comes a time when you've got to let them go free or they'll never learn to look after themselves," old Mrs. Moffatt warned Aunt Hilda. And that was the start of Richie's freedom to roam the wild Scottish coast near the hotel where they were living, for until then Aunt Hilda had been afraid to let him go anywhere alone. Soon Richie found a "special place"--a cliff hidden by overhanging heather, from which he could watch an inlet that he liked to think of as a secret bay. One day, as he lay on top of the cliff, Richie saw an alarmingly long creature stretching out into the sea like a reef of rocks--"like a kind of giant lizard with the longest neck in the world," thought Richie--a silly, friendly smile on its face. This was Mungo, last and gentlest of the ancient sea monsters. Soon Richie learned that Mungo liked to eat sea greens and potato crisps; more important, he noticed that a certain "clong" sound from across the water summoned Mungo out to sea, toward the island of Muckle Craig. In one of Rosalie K. Fry's most entertaining stories, Mungo eventually takes Richie on the greatest adventure of his life.
Munichs: A Novel
by David PeaceOne of The Week's Best novels of 2024 From the acclaimed author of The Damned Utd, a novel of tragedy and renewal, inspired by one of the greatest disasters in the history of sports.In 1958, Manchester United was flying high: the best-known soccer team in the world and reigning English champions, the team was led by a bright young group of star players nicknamed the “Busby Babes” after their charismatic manager Matt Busby. But on a snowy afternoon that February, a plane carrying the team back from a European Cup match crashed on takeoff in Munich, killing 23 people—including eight Manchester United players and three team officials. The accident destroyed the team, traumatized fans all over the world, and devastated the tight-knit community in Manchester.In this hypnotic and deeply moving novel, renowned novelist David Peace reimagines the crash and its aftermath, dramatizing the deep scars it left on British society. Moving between the fictionalized voices of survivors, including players, their family members, and Busby himself, Munichs powerfully interprets the struggles of a team, a city, and a nation to recover and rise again.Peace has been hailed as “brilliant” by Kazuo Ishiguro and his novels have been lauded as “incantatory” (Los Angeles Times), “ambitious and heartbreaking” (NPR), and “the stuff of great literature” (New York Times Book Review). With Munichs, he has crafted another extraordinary novel, one that intimately explores the reverberations of trauma and the power of community in the wake of tragedy.
