Centuries ago Acheron saved the human race by imprisoning an ancient evil bent on absolute destruction. Now that evil has been unleashed and it is out for revenge.

by Carmen Omaña¿Qué harías si por burla del destino terminas en una subasta de virginidades femeninas y el mejor postor de una prestigiosa agencia de escort está dispuesto a pagar 1350000 dólares por una sola noche contigo? Susana Mills descubre que la sofisticada Marbella Polanco, compañera de la Universidad y propietaria del suntuoso departamento, que meses atrás les ofreció a ella y a su prima, bajo una seductora oferta la ha inscrito en una peculiar subasta online. Su virginidad ha sido otorgada al mejor postor y los estatutos con los que se elaboró el contrato distan de ser un pacto de prostitución, así que las leyes la obligaban a cumplir con lo establecido o a indemnizar a la otra parte con una cantidad inalcanzable. Su formación moral y cultural la obliga a fijar posición ante un postor que resulta ser persuasivo, satírico, déspota y con un sexto sentido bastante desarrollado a quien deberá demostrarle no ser una prostituta. Parasalir de semejante embrollo deberá convencer al postor de su participación involuntaria. Sería simple si Gianni Streitwieser no tuviese el poder de enloquecer a cualquier mujer solo con su presencia. Tras una demostración incómoda el adinerado Greco cede a la rescisión del contrato, pero no a su propósito; descubre que por ella está dispuesto a empezar de nuevo, sin subastas de por medio y luchará contra las adversidades que la subasta trajo consigo. Paparazzi, demandas y enfrentamientos con Antonio Quesada, el Gallo, un temido capo de Centroamérica que habría despertado el odio en su mujer, Marbella Polanco. Gianni, en la distante ciudad de Londres, desea hacerla suya en mente, cuerpo y alma sin importarle con quién tuviese que enfrentarse para protegerla.

Subtle Bodies (Vintage International)
by Norman RushIn his long-awaited new novel, Norman Rush, author of three immensely praised books set in Africa, including the best-selling classic and National Book Award-winner Mating, returns home, giving us a sophisticated, often comical, romp through the particular joys and tribulations of marriage, and the dilemmas of friendship, as a group of college friends reunites in upstate New York twenty-some years after graduation. When Douglas, the ringleader of a clique of self-styled wits of "superior sensibility" dies suddenly, his four remaining friends are summoned to his luxe estate high in the Catskills to memorialize his life and mourn his passing. Responding to an obscure sense of emergency in the call, Ned, our hero, flies in from San Francisco (where he is the main organizer of a march against the impending Iraq war), pursued instantly by his furious wife, Nina: they're at a critical point in their attempt to get Nina pregnant, and she's ovulating! It is Nina who gives us a pointed, irreverent commentary as the friends begin to catch up with one another. She is not above poking fun at some of their past exploits and the things they held dear, and she's particularly hard on the departed Douglas, who she thinks undervalued her Ned. Ned is trying manfully to discern what it was that made this clutch of souls his friends to begin with, before time, sex, work, and the brutal quirks of history shaped them into who they are now--and, simultaneously, to guess at what will come next.Subtle Bodies is filled with unexpected, funny, telling aperçus, alongside a deeper, moving exploration of the meanings of life. A novel of humor, small pleasures, deep emotions. A novel to enjoy and to ponder.
