Juntos hasta la medianoche
by Deborah HerediaLo que pasó aquella tarde determinó el destino de ambos, pero ¿y si tuvieran una oportunidad para recuperar su vida en común? Noel y Leo son mejores amigos. No, aún más. Son almas gemelas. Se conocen desde la infancia, lo saben todo el uno del otro y no imaginan una vida en la que no estén unidos. Por eso la noche en la que discuten ninguno de los dos puede imaginar que será la última que pasarán juntos. A la mañana siguiente el mundo ha cambiado. El universo los ha separado. Leo no existe en el mundo de Noel y Noel es solo una fantasía en el de Leo. Y lo que es más, solo ellos recuerdan lo que pasó: las noches de risas en el jardín, las cenas improvisadas, los ensayos y el festival. Sobre todo el festival. Noel, que siempre se ha mostrado esquivo con Leo, se cree culpable por no haber entendido que lo que siente por él es algo más que una simple amistad. Leo, enamorado de Noel desde siempre, no sabe qué hacer: ahora que nadie lo recuerda, no sabe si estar a su lado es más doloroso que haberlo perdido para siempre. Una vertiginosa carrera en contra del tiempo en la que tratarán de no olvidarse el uno del otro antes de que el reloj marque la medianoche y todo vuelva a comenzar.

Their work may lead to the discovery of higher life forms in the Jovian system-with implications the New Morality doesn't like at all.What Grant's would-be controllers don't know is that his loyalty to science may be greater than his desire for a quiet life. But that loyalty will be tested in a mission as dangerous as any ever undertaken-a mission to the middle reaches of Jupiter's endless atmosphere, a place where hydrogen flows as a liquid, and cyclones larger than planets rage for centuries at a time.What lurks there is more than anyone has counted on...and stranger than anyone could possibly have imagined.At the Publisher's request, this title is being sold without Digital Rights Management Software (DRM) applied.
