Durante mil años los skaa han sido esclavizados y viven sumidos en un miedo inevitable. Durante mil años el Lord Legislador reina con un poder absoluto gracias al terror, a sus poderes y a su inmortalidad. Le ayudan «obligadores» e «inquisidores», junto a la poderosa magia de la alomancia. Pero los nobles a menudo han tenido trato sexual con jóvenes skaa y, aunque la ley lo prohíbe, algunos de sus bastardos han sobrevivido y heredado los poderes alománticos: son los «nacidos de la bruma» (mistborns). ------------- El imperio final En El Imperio final, Kelsier, el «superviviente», el único que ha logrado huir de los Pozos de Hathsin, ha encontrado a Vin, una pobre chica skaa con mucha suerte... Tal vez los dos, unidos a la rebelión que los skaa intentan desde hace mil años, logren cambiar el mundo y la atroz dominación del Lord Legislador. ------------- El pozo de la Ascensión Vencer y matar al Lord Legislador fue la parte sencilla. El verdadero desafío será sobrevivir a las consecuencias de su caída. Tomar el poder tal vez resultó fácil, pero ¿qué ocurre después?, ¿cómo se utiliza? En ese mundo de aventura épica, la estrategia política y religiosa debe lidiar con los siempre misteriosos poderes de la alomancia... ------------- El héroe de las eras En El héroe de las eras se comprende el porqué de la niebla y las cenizas, las tenebrosas acciones del Lord Legislador y la naturaleza del Pozo de la Ascensión. Vin y el Rey Elend buscan en los últimos escondites de recursos del Lord Legislador y descubren el peligro que acecha a la humanidad. ¿Conseguirán detenerlo a tiempo? La crítica ha dicho:«Brandon Sanderson es una leyenda.»Alexelcapo, @EvilAFM «Un escritor brillante.»Patrick Rothfuss «El renovador de la fantasía, el gran reinventor de la magia.»Ricard Ruiz Garzón, Els Matins de TV3 «Sanderson es una bomba a punto de explotar.»Ernest Alós, El Periódico de Catalunya «Si te gusta la literatura fantástica, lee a Brandon Sanderson.»Chicote «Hace tiempo que George R.R. Martin tiene heredero.»Javier Blánquez, El Mundo «Una bomba a punto de explotar.»El Periódico de Catalunya «El aspirante a heredero de Tolkien.»Juan Gómez-Jurado, Abc

Trinidad
by Jorge BaraditNovela que irrumpió el 2007 en la escena española al ganar el PREMIO UPC de ciencia ficción, principal galardón entregado a la literatura de ese género. Ambientada en un Chile futurista, la triada de personajes femeninos de TRINIDAD desenmascara la podredumbre de un sistema político corrupto. Una mercenaria drogadicta, una niña-máquina con inteligencia artificial y una detective son víctimas de un oscuro proyecto donde se despliegan consolas ouijas, conciencias administradas por el gobierno, secuestro de almas, tráfico de médula infantil, cacerías en el ciberespacio y seres que duermen en las entrañas de anacondas. Todo, hilado con la febril imaginación de Jorge Baradit. Una historia que golpea con imágenes alucinantes que mezclan el cyberpunk más clásico con una visión ocultista y chamánica, un nuevo paradigma literario definido, por académicos y entendidos, como cyberchamanismo.

Triplanetary (Lensman Ser. #Vol. 1)
by E. E. SmithE. E. &“Doc&” Smith is often referred to as the father of Space Opera. The Lensman series is considered one of the two greatest science fiction series of all time coming in behind only Asimov&’s Foundation series in its ranking. Here is the exciting first book in that ground breaking series Triplanetary. The Eddorians, a dictatorial, power-hungry race, enter our universe from an alternate space-time continuum after observing our galaxy and its sister galaxy passing through one another. This will result in the formation of billions of planets and the development of life. Dominance over these new life forms would allow the Eddorians to satisfy their lust for power and control. The adventure begins.
Triplanetary (Lensman Ser. #Vol. 1)
by E. E. SmithThe first installment in the groundbreaking Lensman series, one of the greatest space opera sagas of all time Nevia, located many light years from the Earth&’s sun, is running out of iron, the primary source of energy for the planet&’s dominant amphibious race. Armed with technology that can extract iron atoms from anything it encounters—rock, machinery, man-made structures, even human blood—the Nevians set their sights on a rich lode of the precious element: the planet Earth. Descending on its unsuspecting target, the Nevian space-ship destroys the city of Pittsburgh and its defenseless inhabitants before heading home with three human specimens in its hold. Among them is Conway Costigan, an undercover intelligence operative for the Triplanetary Patrol. From deep within the bowels of the enemy ship, Costigan must do the impossible: find a way to defeat the Nevians before every man, woman, and child on Earth is annihilated. Known as the &“father of space opera,&” E. E. &“Doc&” Smith imagined remarkable future worlds and breathtaking intergalactic battles before the heyday of Robert Heinlein and Isaac Asimov, and decades before Star Wars and Star Trek became part of the popular culture. His best-known work, the Lensman series, was one of five finalists for the Hugo Award for Best All-Time Series.
