With Ashton, Terrance could build the kind of life he’s never dared to want—the kind of life where he won’t need the skills he learned in organized crime. Or so he thinks—until Ashton’s past comes looking for him….

But his cousin, Walter Reddie, isn’t going to let that happen.Tanked on vodka, living on a “farm” whose only crop is cars on cinderblocks, Walter's a wash-out from the Shuttle Program and he’ll be damned if he’s going to let his cousin die in the sky like a dog.

Badaq
by Carlos BardemBasada en hechos reales, Badaq es una fábula moral exquisitamente narrada en la que un animal toma la palabra para denunciar la codicia de los humanos, el fanatismo religioso y la destrucción de la naturaleza por parte del hombre. 1583. Una badaq -o rinoceronte indonesio- pace tranquilamente en la isla de Pawu. Cuando llega un galeón castellano, el animal es testigo de las relaciones entre colonizadores e indígenas y se convierte en moneda de cambio entre ellos. La llevan hasta Madrid, donde su vida correrá peligro si no consigue escapar de un destino sin sentido. A su alrededor, se teje una trama de intereses y corruptelas entre políticos sin escrúpulos, libertinos codiciosos y desertores imperiales justo cuando el mayor imperio de la cristiandad está entrando en decadencia. En su fascinante nueva novela, Carlos Bardem ha construido con destreza y precisión un minucioso fresco histórico que refleja el gobierno depredador de los imperios español y portugués, la peligrosidad de la Inquisición y los graves abusos de la colonización.Carlos Bardem (Madrid, 1963) es actor y escritor. Licenciado en Historia y diplomado en Relaciones Internacionales, publicó su primer libro, Durango perdido, en 1997. Su debut como novelista en 1999 le valió ser finalista del Premio Nadal con Muertes ejemplares. Su segundo libro, Buziana o El peso del alma, obtuvo el Premio Destino-Guión en 2002. En 2005 publicó La Bardem, las memorias de Pilar, su madre, y en 2009, Alacrán enamorado (Plaza & Janés), llevada al cine en 2013.
