Legacy: A Novel (Eon #1)
by Greg BearA New York Times Notable Book: &“Hard science and human interest intersect ingeniously in this prequel to [Greg] Bear&’s Eon and Eternity&” (Publishers Weekly). The Way is a tunnel to the multiverse, infinite possible realities throughout the universe. From its entranceway in Axis City, the space station at the center of the asteroid-starship Thistledown, one may travel to any world and any time. Lamarckia is a world very much like Earth, but populated by shapeshifting biological forms. More than four thousand colonists have illegally used the Way to settle there, and the ruling gatekeepers fear that the interaction between humans and aliens could prove devastating to the future of both species. Now, Olmy Ap Sennon has been sent to Lamarckia to spy on the colonists and investigate their effect on their new home. As he witnesses their struggle to survive their unforgiving environment—and each other—Olmy experiences all of the joy and heartache that comes from a life worth living, in &“a stunning SF novel that extrapolates a scientifically complex future from the basic stuff of human nature&” (Publishers Weekly, starred review).
Legado de Sangre
by Raquel PagnoLos ojos de Miguel eran como dos esmeraldas. Increiblemente verdes, reflejaban algo profundamente dulce, una ternura casi increíble, una especie de encantamiento capaz de hechizarla por completo. Carmen apenas podía creer que estuviera vivo, escondido entre las ruinas de la mansión que había sido su familia, en un pasado remoto y misterioso, del que su madre, Teresa, había insistido en protegerla. Fue Miguel quien salvó a su abuela, Francesca, cuando había huido de las sangrientas masacres de la guerra en Italia; fue él quien la salvó a ella ya sus dos hijos de la miseria total. Y él también fue quien los maldijo. Miguel fue el último de los vampiros y solo la última de las brujas pudo cumplir su más profundo deseo: generar un heredero, capaz de perpetuar la especie y continuar su historia.

Legend Lands: Where Legends Go To Die
by Noah BarfieldSome Stories Pass Into LegendsThe cosmos stands on the precipice of something great, something grand; something terrible. In a secluded forest, a man garbed in black knows this, and does nothing; he does not care. Many find themselves there, in that place where legends go to die; they, like he, are alone. He, unlike they, has had everything ripped from him. In a dark and warm place, there is a woman with hair red as blood, who does nothing; she has no idea how to. She is like everyone else: unknown, in danger, and hopeless; merely another forgotten legend who doesn't even remember herself.This is the story of Mister E, of his triumphs and tribulations. This is the story of Scarlett, of her pain and her joy. This is a tale of dead legends, and of how they are not content to remain forgotten, on the edge of the existence. A great unraveling of the cosmos is about to begin, and these ghosts of myths and fables are about to be swept up in a scheme too large to fathom, but they will not submit peacefully.In "Legend Land," things are not black and white; there are no heroes and villains. It is a murky, grey mess where the lines between "good" and "evil" are thin and barely exist. Follow the story of several long forgotten legends as they rediscover what it means to be human, to feel, in a world where having a conscience or dropping your guard can earn you permanent erasure from the fabric of reality. Follow these characters as they decide when to become the hero, or embrace being a villain; as they decide where to draw the line, and when to obliterate it completely.
