Komarr (Las aventuras de Miles Vorkosigan #Volumen 11)
by Lois Mcmaster BujoldUna de las mejores sagas de aventuras de ciencia ficción. Galardonada con cuatro premios Hugo, dos Nebula, dos Locus y un Analog. Komarr se convertirá en un jardín... dentro de unos mil años o más. O no dejará de ser el inhóspito, peligroso e inhabitable lugar que todavía es, si el proceso de terraformación fracasa. Un accidente ha averiado el espejo solar, elemento vital para el proceso de terraformación, y el emperador Gregor de Barrayar envía a su nuevo auditor imperial, lord Miles Vorkosigan, para descubrir qué ha ocurrido. Pero Komarr todavía recuerda la matanza que ordenara el padre de Miles y maldice el odiado nombre de Vorkosigan. En las claustrofóbicas cúpulas de Komarr, el peligro acecha con posibles secuestros, víctimas inocentes o no y, tal vez, terroristas rebeldes que pretenden independizarse definitivamente de Barrayar. Reseñas:«Una satisfactoria mezcla de la más intrigante aventura, comentarios sociopolíticos, experimentos científicos y peligros potenciales. Y esta vez con el añadido de un romance.»Locus
Komarr (Miles Vorkosigan #11)
by Lois Mcmaster BujoldAccident or Treachery? Komarr could be a garden-with a thousand more years work or an uninhabitable wasteland, if the terraforming fails. Now the solar mirror vital to the terraforming of the conquered planet has been shattered by a ship hurtling off course. The Emperor of Barrayar sends his newest Imperial Auditor, Lord Miles Vorkosigan, to find out why. The choice is not a popular one on Komarr, where a betrayal a generation before drenched the name of Vorkosigan in blood. In the political and physical claustrophobia of the domed cities, are the Komarrans surrounding Miles loyal subjects, potential hostages, innocent victims, or rebels bidding for revenge? Lies within lies, treachery within treachery-Miles is caught in a race against time to stop a plot that could exile him from Barrayar forever. His burning hope lies in an unexpected ally.

Konundrum: Selected Prose of Franz Kafka
by Peter Wortsman Franz KafkaIn this new selection and translation, Peter Wortsman mines Franz Kafka's entire opus of short prose--including works published in the author's brief lifetime, posthumously published stories, journals, and letters--for narratives that sound the imaginative depths of the great German-Jewish scribe from Prague. It is the first volume in English to consider his deeply strange, resonantly humane letters and journal entries alongside his classic short fiction and lyrical vignettes "Transformed" is a vivid retranslation of one of Kafka's signature stories, "Die Verwandlung," commonly rendered in English as "The Metamorphosis." Composed of short, black comic parables, fables, fairy tales, and reflections, Konundrums also includes classic stories like "In the Penal Colony," Kafka's prescient foreshadowing of the nightmare of the Twentieth Century, refreshing the writer's mythic storytelling powers for a new generation of readers.Contents: * Words are Miserable Miners of Meaning * Letter to Ernst Rowohlt * Reflections * Concerning Parables * Children on the Country Road * The Spinning Top * The Street-Side Window * At Night * Unhappiness * Clothes Make the Man * On the Inability to Write * From Somewhere in the Middle * I Can Also Laugh * The Need to Be Alone * So I Sat at My Stately Desk * A Writer's Quandary * Give it Up! * Eleven Sons * Paris Outing * The Bridge * The Trees * The Truth About Sancho Pansa * The Silence of the Sirens * Prometheus * Poseidon * The Municipal Coat of Arms * A Message from the Emperor * The Next Village Over * First Sorrow * The Hunger Artist * Josephine, Our Meistersinger, or the Music of Mice * Investigations of a Dog * A Report to an Academy * A Hybrid * Transformed * In the Penal Colony * From The Burrow * Selected Aphorisms * Selected Last Conversation Shreds * In the Caves of the Unconscious: K is for Kafka (An Afterword) * The Back of Words (A Post Script)From the Trade Paperback edition.
KOP
by Warren HammondIts booming economy was fueled by the exportation of a unique brandy made from a plant found in its tropical rain forests. But after years of prosperity, the boom collapsed when the brandy lost its unique appeal. An interstellar cartel had found a way to artificially synthesize a brandy that people liked almost as much ... and which cost much less to produce, leaving Lagarto a dark, destitute world overrun by corruption, prostitution, and drugs. Juno is a dirty cop with a difficult past and even more difficult relationships. Born on Lagarto to parents who emigrated from Earth during the planet's boom but arrived after its economy crashed, he is but one of the many Lagartans who live lives of quiet desperation. But it wasn't always like this for Juno. When he was a young cop on the force of capital city Koba's Office of Police, he and his partner worked to break the drug trade. Now his former partner is the beleaguered chief of police, and Juno is a cop on the take, facing a bleak future. Yet despite his past sins and his present problems, some small part of Juno has not given up hope. So when he and a new, beautiful rookie partner are assigned to a particularly ugly murder case, he risks his life, his marriage, and his job to expose a scandal so big it could blow the lid off everything that's wrong with Lagarto. But he's got more pressing problems: a mole who's working to sabotage the department, a short list of leads, and a growing body count that threatens to include his closest friend . . . and himself.
