En el mundo de Mary hay algunas verdades incuestionables: La Hermandad sabe más que nadie. Los Guardianes protegen y sirven. Los Condenados no se rinden nunca.

La búsqueda de Sabina del Santo Grial: n/a
by Martin LundqvistMi nombre es Sabina Hines, pero secretamente prefiero que me llamen Sabina Eisenstein. Nací en 2019, y cuando estás leyendo esto, es el año 2037.

Otras personas dicen que soy hermosa, y quizá tienen razón. Me describiría como una persona alta y delgada, con rasgos simétricos y tez clara. Mi cabello es rubio y mis ojos son azules, a veces incluso son de azul brillante cuando "ella" me está hablando. Sin embargo, no hay nada único en mi belleza, ya que chicas hermosas hay por montón y la belleza física se desvanece a medida que envejecemos. No, lo que es único acerca de mí es que he vivido en una vida anterior. Antes de ser Sabina Hines, era Sabina Eisenstein en otra vida.

Pero mi historia de reencarnación es única, una vez viví una vida corta como Sabina Eisenstein en un futuro lejano, viví durante los años 2875 a 2887. Nací de una revolucionaria marciana con el nombre de Keila Eisenstein; la Creadora Original me encomendó detener a la extraterrestre Xeno, reina de Rangda, de corromper los Cristales Zeto y de detener la tiranía del malvado demonio y de destruir toda la galaxia Vía Láctea. Fallé en esta tarea durante las guerras interplanetarias y el Armagedón galáctico que se produjo en el futuro del cuál era originalmente, y Rangda mató mi cuerpo físico, lo que obligó a la Creadora Original a destruir a Rangda, pero al hacerlo, la

The Busybody Buddha
by Margie RutledgeIn the sequel to The Great Laundry Adventure, the three Lawrence children, Abigail, Jacob and Ernest (from oldest to youngest) are again embarked on a mysterious adventure, but this time, the adventure is initiated, it appears, by a small blue stone buddha which Ernest has discovered in a mysterious shop. The little buddha has a way of showing Ernest the unhappiness of others, and his brother and sister have expressly forbidden him to bring the buddha along on their summer holiday. With their parents, they arrive by motorboat on the wonderfully primitive island where they always spend their holidays, ready for a carefree summer. At first they are delighted to rediscover their favorite haunts and activities, but soon five-year-old Ernest is oppressed by a sense of foreboding. He is afraid to tell Abigail and Jacob that he has brought the buddha to the island, but they soon discover its presence and take measures to try to prevent the buddhas powerful and unhappy messages from spoiling their holiday. Then the children discover a battered replica of the tourist boat, the Segwun, which has plied these shores for decades, and which then leads them to a small mist shrouded island, called Serene Island. They also discover a mysterious cave with ancient drawings and a tunnel through which pours the sound of sobbing. They follow the tunnel and it leads them back to the same small island. This time they find someone who is indeed unhappy and needs their help. And so their adventure with Charlotte, a young girl from another time, begins. A junior novel with a classic feel, illustrated with black and white illustrations, which will delight children eight and up. Rutledge has mined the mysterious elements of an untamed island to produce a story which is both whimsical and enchanting.

The Butterflies of Memory
by Ian WatsonIan Watson is one of the finest writers of SF and fantasy stories, and Butterflies of Memory is his 10th collection, a selection of stories that are by turns serious and playful, and always wildly imaginative... In the title story, what if mobile phones were to become truly mobile, flying about like butterflies? 'An Appeal to Adolf' tells of gay sailors on a Nazi battleship many kilometres long during a Second World War unfamiliar to us; 'Lover of Statues' of an enigmatic alien visiting the only statue of Satan in the world, in Madrid - while in the bubbling stew of faiths which is Jerusalem a doorway opens to reveal capricious godlike beings. And just suppose that Jules Verne undertook an actual journey to the centre of the Earth. Closer to home, in a Midlands town, a man who seems to have suddenly popped into existence tries to discover who and what he is. 'Hijack Holiday', written a year before 9/11, presciently if bizarrely anticipates events akin to those on that fateful day.
