Las crónicas de Vulcania: La espada de los druidas
by Eduardo AguiarUna visión fresca, original e innovadora del clásico género de espada y brujería. En una época antediluviana, cuando los continentes aún no se habían separado y todavía formaban una gran masa de tierra llamada Pangea, esta se hallaba habitada por un buen número de criaturas, aunque muy diferentes entre sí: unas eran seres grotescos y monstruosos; las otras eran razas inteligentes, diseminadas en un puñado de reinos colindantes. Una de estas razas era muy similar a la del ser humano actual, y había alcanzado un nivel de desarrollo semejante al de nuestra Baja Edad Media. En una aldea remota de este reino viene al mundo un niño con una extraña marca de nacimiento en mitad del pecho; es la señal del Elegido, también conocido como Hijo del Dragón: un personaje que -según las antiguas profecías- deberá enfrentarse un día a las Fuerzas de la Oscuridad que asolarán Vulcania, el reino al que pertenece Madox, nuestro protagonista. Sin embargo, el muchacho crece en la ignorancia absoluta del papel que el destino parece tenerle reservado. Hasta una noche en la que sucede algo inesperado que lo conmina a dirigirse por vez primera a la capital, donde -con más pena que gloria- descubrirá el «sendero» que el azar parece haber trazado para él. En su aventura no estará solo, pues poco a poco irán sumándose una serie de variopintos personajes totalmente trascendentales para su sorprendente viaje -tanto físico como interior-, en pos de un amuleto perdido de cuya recuperación depende la salvación o el hundimiento definitivo del reino de Vulcania: ¡la mítica espada de los druidas!

INVASORES, LOS (EBOOK)
by Alejand AgostinelliImaginemos que un extraterrestre está leyendo este libro. Que cada lector elija al biotipo extraterrestre que más le guste. No importa, en este caso, cuál es la apariencia física del extraterrestre, ni su planeta de origen, ni el carácter pacifista o guerrero de sus intenciones. No importa cómo se alimenta, ni cómo copula, ni cómo funciona su aparato excretor. No importa el diseño de sus naves espaciales ni tampoco la tecnología que las impulsa. No importa dónde está leyendo este libro: si en su planeta, si a bordo de su nave o en la base que, como todo el mundo sabe, los extraterrestres tienen en Roswell. Lo único que importa, en este caso, es que es un extraterrestre y que está leyendo este libro. Es indudable que éste será un libro imprescindible en toda biblioteca extraterrestre, y no lo digo por sus historias sobre extraterrestres: al fin y al cabo, todo extraterrestre más o menos informado las conoce o al menos ha oído hablar de ellas. Es indudable, decía, que éste será un libro imprescindible en toda biblioteca extraterrestre, porque éste es un gran libro sobre seres humanos. Y si ellos, los extraterrestres, planean visitarnos, o bien en son de paz, o bien para invadirnos, este libro puede resultarles muy útil para conocernos. La materia prima del trabajo de los buenos periodistas y Alejandro Agostinelli es uno de los mejores que conozco son las personas, y no la política, la economía, los deportes, el arte, la ciencia o los extraterrestres. Los buenos periodistas terráqueos no olvidan jamás que cada episodio que describen, cada historia que cuentan, trata sobre seres humanos. Alejandro Agostinelli ha dedicado buena parte de su vida a investigar este tipo de casos: me consta que podría escribir veinte libros tan buenos como éste sin repetir una sola historia. Como lector, deseo que lo haga. De esa maravillosa materia está hecho Invasores, concebido y escrito para que lo disfruten los lectores de todo el universo, pero sobre todo, los que residen en la Tierra.
