Territory
by Emma BullWYATT EARP. DOC HOLLIDAY. IKE CLANTON. YOU THINK YOU KNOW THE STORY. YOU DON'T. Tombstone, Arizona, in 1881 is the site of one of the richest mineral strikes in American history, where veins of silver run like ley lines under the earth, a network of power that belongs to anyone who knows how to claim and defend it. Above the ground, power is also about allegiances. A magician can drain his friends' strength to strengthen himself, and can place his friends between himself and danger. The one with the most friends stands to win the territory. Jesse Fox left his Eastern college to travel West, where he's made some decidedly odd friends, like the physician Chow Lung, who insists that Jesse has a talent for magic. In Tombstone, Jesse meets the tubercular Doc Holliday, whose magic is as suppressed as his own, and attracts the sorcerous attention of Wyatt Earp. Mildred Benjamin is a young widow making her living as a newspaper typesetter, and- unbeknownst to the other ladies of Tombstone-selling tales of Western derring-do to the magazines back East. Like Jesse, Mildred has episodes of seeing things that can't possibly be there. When a failed stagecoach holdup results in two dead, Tombstone explodes with speculation about who attempted the robbery. The truth could destroy Earp's plans for wealth and glory, and he'll do anything to bury it. Meanwhile, outlaw leader John Ringo wants the same turf as Earp. Each man courts Jesse as an ally as they struggle for control of the territory. Events are building toward the shoot-out of which you may have heard. But you haven't heard the whole, secret story until you've read Emma Bull's unique take on an American legend, in which absolutely nothing is as it seems. . . .
The Territory: A Mystery (Josie Gray Mysteries #1)
by Tricia Fields“A gritty contemporary crime novel that’s lifted above the pack by the intense humanity of its female protagonist. Don’t miss it.” —Milton T. Burton, author of Nights of the Red MoonAt the end of State Road 170 and just past a ghost town lies Artemis, population 2,500. The townspeople had sought out this remote corner of Western Texas in hopes of living lives of solitude and independence. None of them realized that their small town would become a hot spot for Mexican drug runners, whose turf battles have turned both sides of the Rio Grande into a war zone. Still, many of the locals would rather take the law into their own hands than get help from police chief Josie Gray, even when they’re up against a cartel’s private army.After arresting one of the cartel’s hit men and killing another, Josie finds her life at risk for doing a job that many people would rather see her quit. And when the town’s self-appointed protector of the Second Amendment is murdered and his cache of weapons disappears, it’s clear that she doesn’t have to pick sides in this war. She’s battling them both.“Fields’s rich plotting, nonstop action, and deft characterizations show the personal side of the larger issue of drug cartels on both sides of the border.” —Publishers Weekly“Tricia Fields is the real deal.” —Craig Johnson, New York Times–bestselling author of The Cold Dish and Hell is Empty“[For] crime fiction readers who yearn for wide open spaces, characters with real heartbeats, and stories that ring true.” —M.J. Rose, author of New York Times–bestselling author of The Reincarnationist

The Terror: A Novel
by Dan Simmons"Dan Simmons writes with the salty grace and precision of Patrick O'Brian. But in piling supernatural nightmare upon historical nightmare, layering mystery upon mystery, he has produced a turbocharged vision of popular doom." -Men's Journal Greeted with excited critical praise, this extraordinary novel-inspired by the true story of two ice ships that disappeared in the Arctic Circle during an 1845 expedition-swells with the heart-stopping suspense and heroic adventure that have won Dan Simmons praise as "a writer who not only makes big promises but keeps them" (Seattle Post-Intelligencer). THE TERROR chills readers to the core. "Brutal, relentless, yet oddly uplifting, THE TERROR is a masterfully chilling work." -Entertainment Weekly "In the hands of a lesser writer than Dan Simmons, THE TERROR might well have dissolved into a series of frigid days and three-dog nights. But Simmons is too good a writer to ignore the real gold in his story-its beleaguered cast." -Bookpage "Guaranteed to have readers pulling their covers up to their noses, THE TERROR will make for a blood-freezing, bedtime read this winter-and any season thereafter." -Pages
Terror
by Ferdinand von SchirachRepresentada en casi un centenar de teatros en más de veinte países, donde ha cosechado un éxito inaudito, Terror aborda sin tapujos el abrumador problema ético al que se enfrenta el ser humano en situaciones límite, invitándonos a una reflexión profunda sobre el valor y el precio de la libertad. Cada vez que se produce un atentado terrorista en un país occidental, provocando un sentimiento general de pánico y estupor en la sociedad, surge inevitablemente un dilema difícil de resolver: ¿estamos dispuestos a sacrificar nuestra libertad individual en aras de la seguridad colectiva? ¿Cuál es el camino correcto para preservar la democracia? Como oficial de la Fuerza Aérea de Alemania, Lars Koch debe intervenir en una situación de emergencia: un terrorista ha secuestrado un avión de Lufthansa y pretende estrellarlo contra el Allianz Arena de Múnich, donde en ese momento setenta mil espectadores asisten a un partido de fútbol internacional entre las selecciones de Alemania e Inglaterra. Contraviniendo las órdenes de sus superiores, y consciente de la responsabilidad que deberá asumir por su terrible acto, Koch derriba el aparato para impedir la masacre en el estadio, causando la muerte de las ciento sesenta y cuatro personas que viajaban a bordo. Así pues, el juicio al que se somete al infortunado piloto es el núcleo de la primera obra teatral del célebre abogado criminalista alemán Ferdinand von Schirach. Con una trama sencilla pero contundente, el autor de superventas como Crímenes y Culpa nos conmina a tomar partido como miembros del jurado popular que deberá dictar una sentencia de tintes dramáticos y consecuencias inquietantes. La crítica ha dicho...«Terror es teatro en su máxima expresión.»The Sunday Times «Una historia tan compleja que seguirás pensando en ella mucho después de que se falle la suerte del acusado.»The Times «Von Schirach se nutre del legado del drama clásico como un foro donde considerar los dilemas humanos más acuciantes.»Financial Times
