Donde caminan los zombis: Libro uno del viaje de Kendra (El viaje de Kendra #1)
by Eileen SheehanLa vida es difícil y rápida para Kendra y su familia en un mundo distópico que lucha por recuperarse de una guerra nuclear y ahora está bajo el gobierno de un gobierno alienígena. Sin darse cuenta de la inminente invasión alienígena, se ordenó a un grupo de científicos, que incluía a los padres de Kendra, que crearan un virus zombis y lo lanzaran a Rusia. La intención era someter a Rusia y luego liberar la cura, pero el ataque alienígeno los tomó por sorpresa y los científicos y su cura desaparecieron, dejando el virus desenfrenado. Habiendo sido vacunada contra el virus, la tía de Kendra es una de estas científicas que ha mantenido su identidad en secreto por temor a ser esclavizada por el gobierno alienígeno. Cuando una aldea que está conectada con las personas que se mudaron bajo tierra para sobrevivir, secuestra a Kendra con la esperanza de que puedan extraer cualquier recuerdo de sus padres discutiendo la cura mientras ella era una simple bebé con el uso de una máquina experimental, su tía debe decidir acerca de seguir adelante con su identidad. Mientras tanto, Además de lidiar con la creciente población de zombis, el régimen alienígeno -que considera a los humanos como un manjar para la mesa- se propone corregir y purificar a la raza humana de aquellos que fueron mutados de alguna manera por las explosiones nucleares. Rex es uno de esos humanos. También es el amante de Kendra. “Donde camina los zombies” es el libro uno del viaje de Kendra en un mundo que ofrece un romance apasionante, peligros para morderse las uñas y emociones, y un santuario paradisíaco dentro de su núcleo. Todo lo que tiene que hacer es llegar hasta allí. Lo que dicen algunos lectores... "Este libro fue genial. Mucha acción que mantuvo el libro en movimiento y me mantuvo preguntándome qué sucedería. Devoré este libro increíble de una sola vez, ¡simplemente no pude dejarlo! ¡¡¡Gran lectura!!!” "En esta hist
Donde cantan las ballenas
by Sara Jaramillo KlinkertLA AUTORA DESCUBIERTA POR ABAD FACIOLINCE, UNA DE «LAS ESCRITORAS QUE REVOLUCIONAN LAS LETRAS LATINOAMERICANAS» (SMODA), VUELVE A DESLUMBRAR. «Con su prosa rica y valiente, desteje los hilos del tiempo y el dolor para mostrarnos el alma humana.»Pilar Quintana (Premio Alfaguara de novela) Candelaria tiene doce años y vive con su excéntrica familia en Parruca, un mítico lugar perdido entre montañas. Su madre habla con las piedras, su hermanastro cultiva hongos alucinógenos y su padre, un artista que esculpe ballenas, los ha abandonado. Mientras la vegetación devora la casa, reciben a extraños personajes: una mujer experta en plantas venenosas con más de un muerto a cuestas, un hombre que teme a los rayos, un desahuciado que persigue su propia muerte y deja tras de sí un enigmático manuscrito... Candelaria intentará que la acompañen en la búsqueda de su padre, y ese proceso le revelará la verdadera complejidad de la vida y la naturaleza vulnerable de los seres humanos. Con ecos de Gabriel García Márquez, Juan Rulfo y Gioconda Belli, Donde cantan las ballenas pertenece a ese nuevo realismo, presente en las obras de Dolores Reyes, Karina Sainz Borgo o Mariana Enriquez, que nos revela una Latinoamérica que parece de otro tiempo y otro mundo... pero está en este.

Donny's Inferno
by P. W. CataneseFrom award-winning author P.W. Catanese comes a fascinating novel about a twelve-year-old boy who must prevent the new kinder, gentler underworld from returning to its previous terrifying incarnation.Twelve-year-old Donny Taylor was rescued from certain death in a burning building. His savior, a mysterious girl named Angela Obscura, seems to be able to walk right out of the flames. Although she appears to be a teenager, Angela is actually an ancient dignitary from the underworld who needs the help of a mortal. And she's chosen Donny. Hades, a bizarre, cavernous world that was once filled with pitchforks, fiery pits, and dismemberments, has recently become a kinder, gentler place where people can contemplate their transgressions rather than face eternal punishment. Now known as Sulfur, the underworld went through a period of reformation punctuated by a violent revolution that left the vicious old guard, the Merciless, defeated and imprisoned. But it soon becomes apparent that the Merciless are plotting a comeback. If they succeed, they will reignite the long-extinguished Pits of Fire with a billion souls inside. And reformers like Angela and Donny will face Annihilation: the utter destruction of the consciousness and the soul, a nothingness more final than death itself. With everything on the line and billions of souls to protect, Donny--a mortal and outsider--becomes the key to the underworld's salvation and the only one who can save Sulfur.

Doom 3: Maelstrom
by CostelloIn the year 2145...after disobeying a direct order, former special ops Marine Lieutenant John Kane found himself stripped of his rank and reassigned to the "U.S. Space Marines" -- the private army of the Union Aerospace Corporation. Now little more than a glorified security guard, Kane reluctantly accepts his fate on Mars City, the environmental community/lab center on the legendary red planet. But Kane could never have imagined the unspeakable horrors that awaited him there -- nightmarish aberrations of nature and unholy unions of flesh and machine awakened by unsuspecting researchers attempting to divulge the arcane secrets of this planet's extraordinary past. As the terrifying violence grows, Kane and a ragtag band of survivors must call on all of their skills if they can ever hope to make it out of Mars City alive -- even as those at the highest echelons of power continue their own covert and deadly machinations in a relentless bid to seize the ultimate source of power....
Doom 3: Worlds on Fire
by CostelloThe year is 2144...and the battle over Earth's precious resources has raged for a century. With global economies in ruins and all-out world war more than a possibility, the U.S government turned to the Union Aerospace Corporation, giving it carte blanche on the legendary red planet of Mars in a desperate bid to construct an off-world outpost that might provide resources, a military advantage...as well as something so secret that even members of government don't have a clue about it.... Special Ops Marine Lieutenant John Kane was once a careerist simply glad to have a job, and couldn't care less about politics just as long as Uncle Sam's check cleared. But that was before he listened to his conscience and disobeyed a direct order. Busted down to private, Kane has been reassigned to the "U.S. Space Marines" -- the private army of the UAC -- with the prospect of becoming little more than a glorified security guard on Mars.... Now Lt. Kane's fate leads him to Mars City -- part environmental community, part lab center, and all owned and protected by the UAC. It's a strange world with a fatal environment, and the thousands who live and work within the city have already begun to think of themselves as Martians. And away from Mars City, at the strange ancient sites uncovered on the planet, a small squad of marines stand guard while scientists uncover wall glyphs and search for artifacts, having already found something that is so far amazing and inexplicable -- including the relic called "U1," nicknamed "the Soul Cube" -- and unknown to all, the bringer of destructive chaos and unspeakable horror....
