MANO A MANO CON EL DIABLO (EBOOK)
by Carlos Pbro MancusoSoy un cura exorcista. Enfrento con frecuencia al diablo y lo conmino a abandonar esos cuerpos que decidió poseer. Lucho contra el demonio. Es una tarea muy pesada, que representa un esfuerzo que supera los límites conocidos como #humanamente posibles#. Es el combate de un humano contra las fortalezas más antiguas del Universo. La mía, queda claro, no es una actividad sencilla. Cómo se reconoce a un endemoniado? Por qué el diablo elige a determinadas personas como sus víctimas? Cómo se lleva a cabo esta práctica que los exorcistas ortodoxos realizan desde hace quinientos años? El Padre Carlos Mancuso es una persona común y corriente con una ocupación extraordinaria: está autorizado por la Iglesia Católica para practicar exorcismos. Cada vez son más las personas que lo consultan consternadas por situaciones extrañas que los tienen como protagonistas. Acostumbrado a ser un referente en la materia, lo convocan de distintos países del mundo tanto para realizar su praxis como para dar seminarios dentro y fuera del ámbito eclesiástico. Mano a mano con el diablo es un libro absolutamente revelador sobre una práctica tan antigua como imprescindible. El Padre Mancuso nos cuenta casos de exorcismos efectuados por él mismo durante más de treinta años.

Manta's Gift
by Timothy ZahnI am not a fan of science fiction, but I have to admit that this is a clever, creative and well-crafted novel. My favorite review: What if James Dean were a twin-tailed manta ray swimming in Jupiter's atmosphere? Bestselling Star Wars novelist Zahn (Angelmass) gives us a tale of teen coming-of-age angst set in the herd society of the Qanska, intelligent herbivores who inhabit the equatorial band of the gas giant. Suspecting them to be non-native life, Earth's corporate masters, the Five Hundred, send in a spy to find their hidden star drive. Facing their own disaster, the Qanska agree, hoping to gain a human perspective on the impending exhaustion of their ecology. What neither side can count on is how the person injected into the Qanskan world will react. Matt Raimey, a 22-year-old paralyzed by a skiing accident, agrees to have his brain transplanted into a Qanska fetus. Given a second chance to be mobile, he also unexpectedly gets another chance to mature. Zahn concentrates more on the psychological processes at work than on the technological. Solutions to problems arise from better emotional and intellectual integrity, not simply larger databases. While the author doesn't get as deep into his characters as they do into Jupiter's depths, his portrayal of Matt/Manta is direct and involving. Qanskan life, looking much like marine reef life on Earth, is intriguingly portrayed, even if the biology of the Qanskan problem is suspect. YA readers looking for more than the usual SF action-adventure should be well pleased. (Publisher's Weekly)
