Die Warnung der Raben
by Raquel VillaamilBrigit kehrt an ihren Geburtsort zurück, auf der Suche nach dem einzigen, was ihr an Familie geblieben ist: ihrer Großmutter. Nur wenige Erinnerungen hat sie noch an diese Zeit in der jetzt fast verlassenen Stadt Ballymote. Die Straßen, Häuser und Wälder verbergen Geheimnisse, die in Zeiten zurückreichen, als Legenden etwas sehr Reales und Monströses schufen. Konfrontationen mit den Ahnen, bittere Rivalitäten und eine ungewisse Zukunft, in der Brigit nach Antworten sucht, sich ihren Albträumen stellt und die Wahrheit in einer dunklen Welt entdeckt, die nicht mehr die ihre ist, und in der die Raben vor dem warnen, was in den Schatten lauert. "Raquel Villaamil hat den irischen Mythen und Legenden in Die Warnung der Raben neues Leben eingehaucht. Die furchteinflößenden Wesen und Rassen aus den Manuskripten "Das Buch der Invasionen" aus dem XI. Jahrhundert finden ihre Parallelen in den Charakteren des XXI Jahrhunderts, von denen hier erzählt wird. Ein Roman der Geheimnisse und Fantasie, mit einer Handlung, die in Jahrtausende eintaucht und auf einen Höhepunkt zustrebt, in dem die Liebe und das Streben danach auf die Probe gestellt werden um in einem unerwarteten Ende zu gipfeln." "Ein Buch mit leichten Gothic-Zügen und einem Hauch von Romantik, das Sie von der ersten Seite an wegen seiner Originalität und Erzählweise fesseln wird. Brigit ist eine sehr eigenwillige Heldin und der Sprachrhythmus des Buches ist von Anfang an leidenschaftlich. Die Warnung der Raben ist einer der besten spanischen Romane, die ich aktuell gelesen haben. Wenn Sie diese Art von Genre mögen, sollten Sie es nicht verpassen!“

Die eiland 'n distopiese jeugroman
by Jen Minkman Petro Ebersöhn"Ek loop aan see toe. Die branders borrel en skuim oor my kaalvoete. Seemeeue skree bokant my kop. Die eindelose oppervlakte van die water strek tot aan die horison, watter kant toe ek ookal kyk. "Ons wereldjie is klein... Ons is op ons eie, en ons het net die Krag diep binne-in ons om op staat te maak. "As ek hiervandaan in 'n westelike rigting sou loop, sou ek by 'n versperring kom: die muur. Daaragter is Dwase. Volgens ons voorouers mag ons nie oor die muur klim nie. "Die Dwase glo nie in hulle eie Krag nie. In plaas daarvan glo hulle aan iets buite hierdie wereld, wat hulle gaan red. "Niemand wil met sulke idiote meng nie." Leia woon op die eiland, 'n wereld waar kinders hulle ouers verlaat wanneer hulle tien jaar oud word, om na hulleself om te sien. Oor hierdie eiland is 'n muur gebou waaroor niemand nog ooit geklim het nie. Die Dwase wat aan die ander kant woon, is nie vatbaar vir rede nie. Hulle glo in illusies. Dit is volgens die Boek, al wat die Oostelike Eilandbewoners se voorgeslagte aan hulle nagelaat het. Maar dan spoel 'n vreemde man op die strand uit, en Leia ontmoet 'n Dwaas van aangesig tot aangesig. En haar lewe is nooit weer dieselfde nie. Is dit wat sy en haar vriende omtrent die eiland glo, regtig waar? Of is almal in hulle wereld inderdaad Dwase?

Now the national bestselling author of Conquistador and The Peshawar Lancers presents a vision of modern society suddenly and mercilessly thrust into its own dark age.... Michael Havel was flying his Piper Chieftain over Idaho en route to the holiday home of his passengers, a family of five, when the Change occurred. At that moment, the plane's engines inexplicably died, forcing Michael to glide into a less than perfect landing in the wilderness. And as he leads his charges to safety, he begins to realize that the engine failure was not an isolated incident.... Juniper Mackenzie was singing and playing guitar in a pub when the Change thrust the small Oregon town into darkness. Cars refused to start. Phones were silent. And when an airliner crashed, no sirens sounded and no fire trucks arrived. Now, taking refuge in her family's cabin with her daughter and a growing circle of friends, Juniper is determined to create a farming community to sustain the survivors of this crisis.... The Change happened when an electrical storm centered over the island of Nantucket produced a blinding white flash, causing all electronic devices-- computers, telephones, engines, radios, televisions--and even firearms to cease to function, and plunged the world into a darkness humanity was unprepared to face. But even as people band together to help one another, others are building armies for conquest.... S. M. Stirling is the author of numerous novels, both on his own and in collaboration.

Diggers (Bromeliad Trilogy #2)
by Terry PratchettTerry Pratchett's lovable nomes return in "Diggers," the second book of the Bromeliad trilogy. It's an improvement on the first book "Truckers," with a steadier pace and a new twist on this tiny-aliens-among-us plotline. It gets a bit silly at times, but doesn't wear out its welcome.When last seen, the peculiar, lovable nomes had managed to drive a truck away from the Arnold Bros. store, and had set up a new home in an abandoned quarry. Masklin and his little band are doing fine, although many of the more pampered nomes are having to get used to the idea of farming and living in a place with no heating and too much open space.Then everything changes. A human brings a paper to the quarry, and the nomes learn that the quarry is going to be reopened -- and the nomes risk discovery unless they can find a new place to live. When Masklin ventures off to the mysterious Florida, to find the descendent of Arnold Bros., a fanatic called Nisodemus takes the opportunity to rally the nomes in rebellion. Just then, Dorcas (a sort of nome technogeek) reveals the Cat (a bulldozer), which might help them against the humans.Terry Pratchett seems to have found more solid footing in "Diggers." The book feels a lot steadier and surer, now that he's established the groundwork. He weaves in a little subtle social commentary (particularly on religious fanatics); it's not as subtle as it could be, but it isn't too annoying."Diggers" is also faster-moving than "Truckers." His sense of quirky humor (like the idea of Florida being made of orange juice) is present constantly, but he doesn't do it in a mean-spirited way. You laugh with the innocent nomes, not at them. Probably the biggest problem is that "Diggers" ends on a cliffhanger of sorts, with the line "I'd very much like to know what Masklin has been doing these past few weeks."Masklin and the Thing aren't present for most of the story; they show up again in the third book, "Wings." So most of the focus is on Grimma, the girl Masklin wants to marry, and Dorcas the nome technogeek. Their characters are well-drawn, and their struggles to deal with the fanatical nome is tense and well-plotted.While it's not his best work, Terry Pratchett is in good form in the second book of the Bromeliad trilogy. "Diggers" is a good return for the nomes, and a fun fantasy read.

Solo es una copia de Marc, un cerebro digital sin un cuerpo, cargado de todos los recuerdos de Marc, pero sin acceso a los placeres sensoriales humanos.

A instancias de Molly, lo aplica a exponer conspiraciones terroristas, tumultos escolares, actividades políticas ilícitas y artimañas financieras.

Sin un cuerpo, ¿cómo podrá Adam salvarse a sí mismo y al mundo de un terrible destino? Digiclón, con 94.000 palabras, es un libro de ideas que explora los avances inminentes en la informática cognitiva y las redes neuronales, y lo que significa ser un humano incluso si no se tiene un cuerpo.
