En la isla de Patmos, en Grecia, donde según la tradición se encuentra la cueva en la que el apóstol san Juan recibió la revelación del Apocalipsis para hacerla llegar a la humanidad, está a punto de ocurrir uno de los anuncios más importantes del mundo: la verdadera historia de la Biblia, que ha sido ocultada a los creyentes durante siglos por las cúpulas del poder eclesiástico, será por fin revelada. Cuando los Centinelas del Apocalipsis intenten sabotear el anuncio, Max León, policía mexicano de investigación, junto con John Apóstole, la traicionera Serpentia Lotan y Clara Vanthi, se verá obligado a recorrer las islas griegas para dar con la Biblia original. Perseguido y bajo amenaza de muerte, descubrirá la existencia de la escriba judía que alteró la Biblia por primera vez para servir a los planes de dominación mesopotámicos, pero que resguardó el texto original -el llamado "Documento J", de 4 000 años de antigüedad- que desean encontrar y destruir tanto religiosos como líderes del mundo actual. Aunque esta novela se narra como una historia de ficción, los hechos que describe son reales y de tal alcance que no dejarán indiferente a ningún lector, sea creyente o escéptico.

Secretos y Mentiras

by Hannah Howe

Secretos y Mentiras ¿Suicidio o asesinato? La mayoría de las personas con las que me he encontrado están escondiendo un secreto y muchas de ellas son expertas diciendo mentiras. Sin embargo, ¿cómo descubres la verdad acerca de alguien que ya no está entre nosotros? El autor Barclay Quinton escribió Fabringjay, la historia de un hombre que llevó una vida secreta durante la Segunda Guerra Mundial, el cual fue bien recibido por los críticos, pero fue ignorado por los lectores; e Illicit Lust, un libro que él odiaba y que escribió solamente para satisfacer a su representante y editora. Illicit Lust se convirtió en un éxito de ventas, un hecho que molestó a Barclay. Sin embargo, su éxito sí abrió puertas y él comenzó a investigar para su próxima novela, la historia de un mafioso envejecido. La investigación de Barclay lo puso en contacto con muchos sujetos despreciables, incluyendo a villanos, detectives privados sospechosos y gerentes de clubes nocturnos. El reporte oficial de la muerte de Barclay declaró que él se había suicidado. Sin embargo, una amiga cercana insistía en que Barclay había sido asesinado y yo fui contratada para investigar. Mientras tanto, más cerca de casa, yo descubrí un secreto, y la verdad, acerca de mi pareja de años. ¿Era él el hombre de mis sueños o estaba nuestra relación a punto de terminar? Secretos y Mentiras ― una historia de amor, de engaño, de las muchas caras que todos poseemos: la cara pública, la cara privada y la profundamente personal.
