The Phoenix Code
by Catherine AsaroThe Nebula Award–winning author &“continues to dazzle us with brilliance in combining science, romance and adventure.&” —Romantic Times MIT professor Megan O&’Flannery is one of the world&’s leading research scientists on artificial intelligence for androids. Most of her work consists of working with computer simulations, so when the company MindSim gives Megan an opportunity to work with an android, she jumps at the chance. Hidden and secret, an underground compound in the Nevada desert offers Megan a spectacular lab where she can live and work, mostly alone except for robotic assistants—and the android. Although it appears physically indistinguishable from a human man, Megan realizes she has a lot of work ahead if he is ever to think and act like a human, let alone the superspy that MindSim wants him to be. She loosens the controls on his behavior, allowing the android—who soon chooses the name Ander—the freedom of more independent thought. However, when Raj Sundaram, the reclusive genius of robotics, arrives at the compound to work with the android, Ander&’s behavior takes a strange turn, causing Megan to distrust Raj. As Ander&’s development spins out of control, he throws the project into chaos, going rogue even as he becomes stronger—and more dangerously human. &“This novel is clearly science fiction first with a dynamic climax that will stun the unsuspecting audience who will fail to break The Phoenix Code before Ms. Asaro reveals the ending of this keeper.&” —Painted Rock Reviews &“Cinematic energy and the ease and confidence of a seasoned bestseller.&” —SFReviews.net

Phoenix Operación Parrot
by Martha Lilia Alvarado Flores Francesca RossiniLa vida de Leila dará un giro a partir de su encuentro con Clay, quién se revelará como un agente secreto. La mujer terminará por verse involucrada en una operación de alcance internacional de los servicios secretos que podría comprometer el equilibrio político del mundo entero. Leila atravesará continentes, poniendo en peligro su vida, pero sobre todo, luchando contra la atracción que siente por su fascinante compañero de aventuras. Francesca Rossini nos narra una verdadera historia de espionaje, con intrigas internacionales, secuestros y frágiles equilibrios, acompañándola con temas propios de otros géneros, como el amor, las relaciones y el encuentro de dos mundos opuestos que inevitablemente se atraen, al menos en el plano sentimental. Aun siendo una novela con una ambientación histórica definida, la trama transporta al lector a un mundo convulsionado por los cambios, a partir del concepto mismo de familia, en donde se empieza a lidiar con la idea de la mujer soltera por el fracaso de una relación, generalmente con uno o más hijos a su cargo, quien se esfuerza por salir adelante con orgullo y sobre todo con dignidad. Leila encarna en todos los sentidos a la mujer moderna, que no se detiene nunca para perseguir el bien y la justicia, y que logra afrontar difíciles situaciones con recursos que ni siquiera pensaba tener. En el trasfondo de la historia se encuentra la efervescente década de los ochentas en los Estados Unidos, con todos sus mitos y todas sus contradicciones.

This billion-dollar startup was engineered by Elizabeth Sterling, a bright young investment banker (and single parent). When she assumes the post of chief financial officer for this upstart carrier, she finds herself masterminding a frantic defense against a sinister campaign by powerful, unknown forces determined to destroy her proud creation. Complicating her life is the unexpected appearance of a former love who wants to renew their passionate affair, and Elizabeth's growing attraction for a prickly Scot, Creighton MacRae, whom Elizabeth hires to discover who is trying to sabotage the new airline.
