Nacidos del Aire: ¿Sueñas con volar?
by Timothy Trimble"Deben ser los Decimos Octavos. Así es como operan. Podrían haber estado observando por años, buscando una rutina, esperando el momento perfecto. Sospecho que también estuvieron detrás de la abducción de sus padres.” “Entonces, busquémosla. Quitémosela. Ellos nos lo hicieron - ¡Podemos hacérselo!” “Si lo hacemos, será una guerra.” Georgeo se levantó y comenzó a pasearse alrededor de la mesa. “Si comenzamos una guerra contra ellos, nos expondremos. Es justo lo que quieren. Si nos exponemos, ellos pueden tomarnos uno por uno. ¡Vamos, Torre! Existen miles de millones de humanos "normales" y quizás, solo quizás, un par de cientos de Avitorianos.” Continuó caminando. “Eso conllevaría a nuestra extinción. No es tiempo de exponernos. La humanidad puede a duras penas llevarse bien consigo misma. ¿Cómo esperas que entiendan lo que somos y que nos acepten como parte de su sociedad si somos diferentes?”
El nacimiento de Ataecina
by Erick Carballo Antonio AlmasUn diálogo entre dos seres místicos, el amor elevado a la divinidad. De la interacción entre los personajes nació la creación del momento, día tras día, simulados en un escenario ensayado donde cada uno sabe su diálogo de memoria, porque son sus propios sentimientos los que se revelan en una ficción ilusoria. Quimera, utopía la simple magia de las palabras que no dejan de ser filosóficas ni mágicas, cuando todo parece culminar en un acto de existencia poética que llega ardiendo en los dedos y que en realidad desencadena movimientos telúricos en los cuerpos de los actores. Esta obra no es una representación teatral, sino mera ficción encarnada por los que la han visto, hombre y diosa, seres de otras dimensiones representados en una historia de ilusiones.
El nacimiento de un héroe
by Jin YongEl mejor libro de fantasy y ficción histórica de todos los tiempos según la revista Time. Considerada El Señor de los Anillos de China. China, año 1200. El Imperio Song ha sido invadido por los yurchen. La mitad del territorio y su capital histórica yacen en manos enemigas; los campesinos trabajan arduamente, sometidos al tributo anual que exigen los vencedores. Entretanto, en la estepa mongola, una nación de guerreros está a punto de unirse al mando de un señor de la guerra cuyo nombre perdurará eternamente: Gengis Kan. Guo Jing, privilegiado, astuto y entrenado a la perfección en las artes marciales, ha crecido con el ejército de Gengis Kan y desde su nacimiento está destinado a enfrentarse un día a un oponente. Guo Jing debe regresar a China para cumplir con su destino, pero su valor y sus lealtades se verán puestos a prueba a cada paso en una tierra dividida por la guerra y la traición La crítica ha dicho...«La obra de Jin Yong, en el mundo de habla china, tiene más o menos la misma difusión cultural que Harry Potter y Star Wars juntos.»Nick Frisch, The New Yorker «Hace mucho que Jin Yong (Louis Cha) es una leyenda en China. [...] Un regalo único para los fans de la literatura fantástica.»Paul French «Los mundos fantásticos de Jin Yong rivalizan con los de J. R. R. Tolkien en creatividad, amplitud y profundidad.»Quartzy «La obra de Jin Yong ha pasado en Oriente de generación en generación, de modo que nutre lectores de todas las edades. Para los adultos son cuentos, mientras que para los niños son mitología. Cualquiera que añore la inocencia tras alcanzar la madurez debe leer sus novelas.»Yan Lianke «Jin Yong explora temas absolutamente atemporales: el bien frente al mal, el amor frente al sacrificio, la naturaleza frente a la educación, el honor frente alengaño.»Ian White, Starbust

by Steve Vernon Gabriela Miranda GonzálezLo que la gente dice de Steve Vernon "Si Harlan Ellison, Richard Matheson y Robert Bloch hicieran un trio y tuvieran sexo salvaje en un jacuzzi, y luego un grupo de científicos fueran y filtraran esa agua y mezclaran el ADN restante en un tubo de ensayo, el experimento genético que resultaría seguramente crecería y se convertiría en Steve Vernon". – Bookgasm "Steve Vernon es como una anomalía en el mundo de la literatura de horror. Él es uno de los exponentes más recientes del género, a pesar de sus veinte años de trayectoria.

The Nail and the Oracle: Volume XI: The Complete Stories of Theodore Sturgeon (The Complete Stories of Theodore Sturgeon #11)
by Harlan Ellison Paul Williams Theodore SturgeonThis book contains ten major stories by the master of science fiction, fantasy, and horror written during the 1960s. The controversial "If All Men We re Brothers, Would You Let One Marry Your Sister?" shows the author's technique of "ask the next question" used in a way that shatters social conventions. "When You Care, When You Love" offers a prescient vision of the marriage of deep obsessive love and genetic manipulation, written long before actual cloning techniques existed. "Runesmith" constitutes a rare example of Sturgeon collaborating with a legendary colleague, Harlan Ellison. Included also are two other rarities: two detective stories and a Western that showcase Sturgeon's knack for characterization and action outside his usual genre. "Take Care of Joey" has been read as an allusion to the complex personal relationship between Sturgeon and Ellison, while "It Was Nothing, Really!" hilariously skewers the mores of the military-industrial complex. As always, these stories demonstrate not only Sturgeon's brilliant wordplay but also his timeliness, with "Brown-shoes" and "The Nail and the Oracle" standing out as powerful commentaries on the use and abuse of power that might have been written yesterday.

The Naked Eye
by Yoko Tawada Susan Bernofsky"Tawada's slender accounts of alienation achieve a remarkable potency."--Michael Porter, The New York Times A precocious Vietnamese high school student -- known as the pupil with "the iron blouse"--in Ho Chi Minh City is invited to an International Youth Conference in East Berlin. But, in East Berlin, as she is preparing to present her paper in Russian on "Vietnam as a Victim of American Imperialism," she is abruptly kidnapped and taken to a small town in West Germany. After a strange spell of domestic-sexual boredom with her lover-abductor--and though "the Berlin Wall was said to be more difficult to break through than the Great Wall of China" -- she escapes on a train to Moscow . . . but mistakenly arrives in Paris. Alone, broke, and in a completely foreign land, Anh (her false name) loses herself in the films of Catherine Deneuve as her real adventures begin. Dreamy, meditative, and filled with the gritty everyday perils of a person living somewhere without papers (at one point Anh is subjected to some vampire-like skin experiments), The Naked Eye is a novel that is as surprising as it is delightful--each of the thirteen chapters titled after and framed by one of Deneuve's films. "As far as I was concerned," the narrator says while watching Deneuve on the screen, "the only woman in the world was you, and so I did not exist." By the time 1989 comes along and the Iron Curtain falls, story and viewer have morphed into the dislocating beauty of both dancer and dance.
The Naked God: Book Three (The Night's Dawn #3)
by Peter F. HamiltonThe Confederation is starting to collapse politically and economically, allowing the `possessed' to infiltrate more worlds.

Joshua Calvert and Syrinx fly their starships on a mission to find the Sleeping God - which an alien race believes holds the key to overthrowing the possessed. THE NAKED GOD is the brilliant climax to Peter F. Hamilton's awe-inspiring Night's Dawn Trilogy.
