A Tiempo Para Ti
by Chris Karlsen MARIA GLORIA GARCIA MENENDEZMientras cabalgan por el campo inglés, las hermanas Electra y Emily Crippen se encuentran atrapadas en una brecha en el tiempo. Arrojadas de vuelta a la Inglaterra de 1357 y capturadas por un noble local, están en un lugar que es su hogar pero tan aterrador y desconocido como lo sería un mundo alienígena. Sin tener idea de cómo se produjo el retroceso en el tiempo, lo único que saben es que deben permanecer juntas y cerca de donde ocurrió el suceso con la esperanza de descubrir el camino de regreso a su vida moderna. Esa cierta necesidad de permanecer juntas es la primera certeza que se les quita cuando una hermana se ve obligada a permanecer en Inglaterra y otra es enviada a kilómetros de distancia a Gales por orden real. Hay otra esperanza de ayuda que las hermanas no saben que existe. Es el amante de Electra, Roger Marchand. Un viajero del tiempo, nunca le contó su pasado. Cuando se da cuenta de lo que les ha pasado a las hermanas, solicita la ayuda de un amigo científico para que le ayude a abrir el presunto paso a través del tiempo. Cualquier esfuerzo para salvar a Electra y Emily probablemente le costará la vida. Esta fue la época de la que vino Roger, una época en la que su país, Francia, estaba en guerra con Inglaterra. Si es descubierto en suelo inglés mientras busca a las hermanas, lo matarán o lo harán prisionero de guerra. Cualquier riesgo merece la pena para salvar la vida de la mujer que ama.
A todo vapor (Mundodisco #40)
by Terry PratchettLa máquina de vapor llega a Ankh-Morpork, y con ella el progreso y sus conflictos. 40ª novela de la aclamadísima serie Mundodisco. El progreso ha llegado al Mundodisco a lomos de una locomotora de vapor. Sus habitantes acuden en masa a admirar el revolucionario prodigio de la técnica, obra de un joven inventor autodidacta llamado Dick Simnel. Inmediatamente, lord Vetinari decide apropiarse de la máquina y nombra a Húmedo von Mustachen, su hombre para todo, responsable de la operación. Entretanto estalla una revuelta política entre los enanos, que planean atentar contra su rey y sabotear el ferrocarril. Von Mustachen tendrá que esquivar muchos escollos para evitar que todo descarrile. Desde hace más de tres décadas, Terry Pratchett ha fascinado a millones de lectores de todo el mundo con sus novelas fantásticas, divertidas y satíricas ambientadas en el Mundodisco, un universo fantástico profundamente original que guarda un sospechoso parecido con el nuestro. A todo vapor es la cuadragésima entrega de esta serie tan emblemática y longeva como popular, cuyo siguiente y último volumen se publicó en inglés en agosto de 2015 y saldrá en castellano en 2016. No solo resulta ser un auténtico placer para los lectores, como las entregas anteriores, sino que también nos da un nuevo y original ejemplo del sentido del humor, la imaginación y la capacidad crítica de Terry Pratchett para retratar, sin perder la sonrisa, los vicios de nuestra sociedad. «Terry Pratchett fue uno de los mejores escritores de fantasía que han existido, y sin duda el más divertido.»George R.R. Martin «Terry Pratchett trajo más alegría a mi vida que ningún otro autor.»Patrick Rothfuss «Terry Pratchett deja un legado enorme capaz de entretener, pensar y hacer reír. Y eso no es poco logro.»Juan Gómez Jurado, ABC Reseñas sobre A todo vapor:«Divertido, listo e inteligente a partes iguales.»Newsday «Como siempre, los personajes inolvidables de Pratchett y la animada historia reflejan lo mejor, lo peor y lo más extraño de nuestro propio mundo. Entretiene a los lectores y, a la vez, ridiculiza las debilidades sociales y las políticas en un crisol de humanos, enanos, trolls, duendes, vampiros y un hombre lobo, o dos.»Publishers Weekly «La creación de Terry Pratchett se mantiene fuerte después de 30 años, a medida que Ankh-Morpork se adentra en la era del ferrocarril.»The Times
