Med Ship Man
by Murray LeinsterHis work was healing the sick--but this planet was already dead! Calhoun regarded the communicator with something like exasperation as his taped voice repeated a standard approach-call for the twentieth time. But no answer came, which had become irritating a long time ago. This was a new Med Service sector for Calhoun. He'd been assigned to another man's tour of duty because the other man had been taken down with romance. He'd gotten married, which ruled him out for Med Ship duty. So now Calhoun listened to his own voice endlessly repeating a call that should have been answered immediately.

by Alba G. Callejas«De nuevo, otro ciclo, otro año... y todo seguía igual en Revandar. Bueno, no exactamente igual.» Revandar lleva años invariable. Un pueblito tranquilo de gentes tranquilas, sin sobresaltos. Hace mucho que la magia y las intrigas han desaparecido. Las gentes de la aldea viven tiempos felices en los verdes prados y suaves colinas del valle que es su hogar. Para Belania, su mundo es encantador... aunque se complica a medida que crece. Cada vez tiene más responsabilidades en la granja de sus padres y menos tiempo para aferrarse a los juegos de infancia y a sus amigos de siempre. Lo único que permanece igual es su amistad con los jóvenes del pueblo, sobre todo con su mejor amiga, Aleanna. Y sin embargo, cuando esta se marcha a la ciudad, dejándola solo con un colgante de recuerdo, todo su mundo se tambalea. Y Conrado está ahí para estabilizarla, con sus ojos amables y sus manos firmes, sus palabras cálidas y su sonrisa, que hace que el corazón le revolotee en el pecho. Hasta que durante ese plenilunio ese colgante se ilumina. Un corazón dividido. Una amistad inquebrantable... y el brillo de una amatista.

A Meddle of Wizards (The Fledgling Magic Novels #1)
by Alexandra RusheWelcome to Tandara, where gods are fickle, nightmares are real, and trolls make excellent bakers . . . Raine Stewart is convinced she’ll die young and alone in Alabama, the victim of a chronic, mysterious illness. Until a man in a shabby cloak steps out of her mirror and demands her help to defeat a bloodthirsty wizard. Raine shrugs it off as a hallucination—just one more insult from her failing body—and orders her intruder to take a hike. But the handsome figment of her imagination won’t take no for an answer, and kidnaps her anyway, launching her into a world of utmost danger—and urgent purpose. Ruled by unpredictable gods and unstable nations, Tandara is a land of shapeshifters and weather-workers, queens and legends. Ravenous monsters and greedy bounty hunters patrol unforgiving mountains. Riverboats pulled by sea-cattle trade down broad waterways. And creatures of nightmare stalk Raine herself, vicious in the pursuit of her blood. But Raine isn’t helpless or alone. She’s part of a band as resourceful as it is odd: a mage-shy warrior, a tattered wizard, a tenderhearted giant, and a prickly troll sorceress. Her new friends swear she has powers of her own. If she can stay under their protection, she might just live long enough to find out . . .

Medea
by Blandine Le CalletWho was Medea, really? Beyond the hearsay, exaggerations, and distortions inflicted by time, this is Medea&’s story in her own voice, from the luxuriant gardens of her childhood in Colchis to the mysterious island from which she gives her final confession. An intoxicating graphic novel reimagining the story of one of the biggest female figures in ancient Greek mythology, for fans of Lore Olympus and Circe.The legendary sorceress from Greek myth has been cast as many things—a caring mother and a passionate lover who was thwarted by her desires; an independent woman vilified for refusing the tyranny of men; a barbarian who sowed confusion in the regimented world of the Greeks; a formidable witch, mistress of occult forces. Simply put, she was precisely what some would call a monster. And yet, there is so much more to Medea…This provocative tale is created by writer Blandine Le Callet and artist Nancy Peña, with an English translation by Montana Kane. Originally published in French by Éditions Casterman.

El médico de sefarad
by César VidalA mediados del siglo XII, el Mediterráneo constituía un mundo en tensión permanente: en Oriente, Saladino se preparaba para asaltar Jerusalén, y en Occidente los invasores almohades imponían su dominio en Al-Andalus. Justamente en esas tierras, en la ciudad de Córdoba, nació en el seno de una familia judía Moisés ben Maimón, médico y filósofo, conocido también como Maimónides. Fueron tiempos difíciles que obligaron a su padre, un respetado rabino, a emprender con su familia la ruta del exilio tras verse forzado a apostatar de su fe.Mientras seguimos a Moisés a través de los zocos y las escuelas de medicina, de las sinagogas y de los palacios, de los puertos y las ciudades de Al-Andalus, Marruecos, Tierra Santa y Egipto, se nos revela un cosmos de belleza, lucha y contrastes, donde sus habitantes (el talmudista, el médico árabe, los pacientes de Moisés, el propio Saladino y sobre todo Susana, la bella mujer de ojos verdes...), víctimas de los tiempos convulsos que les ha tocado vivir, anhelan conocer la sabiduría, encontrar el amor y descubrir el sentido último de la existencia.
