As combat escalates across the galaxy, and Darth Sidious remains one step ahead of his pursuers, the stage is set for an explosive endgame. Tormented by unspeakable visions, Anakin edges closer to the brink of a galaxy-shaping decision, while Darth Sidious plots to strike the final staggering blow against the Republic-and to ordain a fearsome new Sith Lord: Darth Vader.Once the most powerful Knight ever known to the Jedi Order, Anakin becomes Darth Vader, a disciple of the dark side, a lord of the dreaded Sith, and the avenging right hand of the galaxy's ruthless new Emperor. As a few surviving Jedi lead a charge on a Separatist stronghold, the deadliest threat still rests in the swift and lethal crimson lightsaber of Darth Vader-behind whose brooding mask lies a shattered heart, a poisoned soul, and a cunning, twisted mind hell-bent on vengeance. For the handful of scattered Jedi hunted across space, survival is imperative if the light side of the Force is to be protected and the galaxy reclaimed.

El laberinto del fauno
by Cornelia Funke Guillermo Del ToroUna novela oscura y mágica, una inolvidable colaboración entre dos de los narradores más renombrados de nuestros días. Tras un largo recorrido entre pantanos, Ofelia conoce al hombre que será su padrastro, un despiadado capitán del ejército español. Para él, el inquietante y oscuro bosque donde viven es como una jaula, que tan solo sirve de escondite para los combatientes de la resistencia en la interminable y sangrienta guerra civil. Pero Ofelia está embelesada con su mágico hogar. Obsesionada con los cuentos de hadas, descubre un laberinto que la conduce cada vez más profundamente por los caminos de un mundo mítico y misterioso acechado por el peligro, cruel y amable a la vez, benigno y mortífero. En el laberinto, nada es como parece en un principio. Es un lugar donde lo monstruoso y lo humano se confunden, donde resulta imposible distinguir la realidad de la fantasía y donde los mitos se encuentran con el devastador horror de una nación asolada por la guerra. Atmosférica y absorbente, inspirada por la cinta ganadora del Oscar, y con material original que amplía la historia, esta arrebatadora novela ilustra espléndidamente que la fantasía es el artilugio más sagaz para develar los milagros y los terrores de la realidad. "Con la monumental encomienda de adaptar un complejo relato cinematográfico a las páginas de una novela, Del Toro y Funke evitaron simplemente describir la película y en su lugar han vuelto a confeccionar la narrativa con destreza y elegancia." Kirkus "Esta historia ingeniosamente enigmática hechizará a los lectores que suelen deleitarse con la fantasía." The School and Library Journal
