Sob uma Lua Azul: Detetive Paranormal uma Historia de Origem (Investigações Blue Moon #11)
by Steven HiggsTempest Michaels está prestes a ter uma semana ruim. Quando um erro de digitação em um jornal envia um tipo de inquérito paranormal idiotas, P.I. Tempestade Michaels não tem noção do problema e do perigo que se aproxima. Em pouco tempo, ele tem vários casos para investigar, mas é um absurdo ridículo como a pequena celebridade Richard Claythorn, que acredita que está sendo perseguido por um lobisomem e um lojista em uma vila próxima com um ladrão invisível. Resolver esses casos pode ser divertido se sua mãe exigente (por que não há netos, Tempest?) Não insistisse em ir com ele, mas o simples caso de perseguição de celebridade pode não ser o que parece quando ele pega um homem escondido atrás da propriedade do cliente bem a tempo de vê-lo entrar no luar e começar a se transformar. Tudo o que ele queria era um trabalho fácil e agradável, onde fosse seu próprio chefe e pudesse levar seus Dachshunds de confiança para o trabalho. Quantos problemas um erro de digitação pode causar?

Sobre hormigas y dinosaurios
by Cixin LiuEn un día normal y corriente del Cretácico superior, las semillas de la primera y mayor civilización de la Tierra se sembraron en los restos del almuerzo de un tiranosaurio. Por al autor de El problema de los tres cuerpos La inteligencia es un destello fugaz en la larga noche de la historia cósmica. Que pueblen la tierra no una sino dos especies inteligentes al mismo tiempo pone en cuestión cualquier cálculo de probabilidades. El hecho de que esas dos especies, tan distintas como complementarias, forjen una alianza que a su vez enciende una civilización desafía toda lógica. Los inicios de la alianza entre las hormigas y los dinosaurios fueron humildes, pero de ella surgieron la escritura, las matemáticas, los ordenadores e incluso los viajes espaciales. Una verdadera era de las maravillas que, sin embargo, hará pagar un alto precio a la biosfera de la Tierra y a quienes dependen de ella. Pese a todo, los dinosaurios se negarán a escuchar la advertencia de las hormigas sobre el inminente colapso ecológico, y al hacerlo dejarán a la Federación Fórmica frente a un único dilema: destruir a los dinosaurios, aniquilar una civilización… ¿o morir junto a ellos? La crítica ha dicho:«La respuesta de China a Arthur C. Clarke».THE NEW YORKER «Increíblemente imaginativo, realmente interesante».BARACK OBAMA

Sobrevivientes
by K'Anne MeinelPara algunos, el mundo terminaría con la caída de las bombas. Para otros, unos pocos elegidos, sería una oportunidad para mostrar su verdadero temple. Los que asumirán el desafío de prescindir delas cosas, conformarse con lo que tienen, y subsistir son los sobrevivientes. Jodi era uno de los pocos. Ella sabía lo que venía. Ella leyó las señales, y tenía amigos en lugares bajos que la mantenían informada. Compró una cabaña en el medio de la nada, la arregló, y les advirtió a sus amigos más cercanos y a su familia que llegaría el momento de abandonar las grandes ciudades, de esconderse y aislarse por la seguridad de tu famiia y de todos los más cercanos a tí. Krista era su compañera, su mejor amiga, y su esposa en un momento en que los estados no reconocían el matrimonio del mismo sexo. Krista lidiaba con las compulsiones de su pareja al reconocer que complacerla era la mejor manera de mantener una unión armoniosa. Después de todo, podían permitírselo. Poco se daba cuenta de que Jodi estaba destinada a ser la salvadora de todos ellos. Descubrir que las cosas eran mucho peores de lo que todos habían especulado no sorprendió a Jodi. Pero alteraría para siempre la visión del mundo de su familia y los convertiria en algo en lo que no se habían dado cuenta que estaban destinados a convertirse... ¡SOBREVIVIENTES!

The Society (The Society Series, Book #1)
by Lilith SaintcrowThe black-ops government agency called Sigma broke Justin Delgado, trained his psionic talent, and turned him into a killer. Then he escaped and joined the Society, an underground resistance movement of psions determined to use their talents to bring Sigma down. Competent, cold, and cruelly efficient, he's the best operative the Society has, a legend among the psions who fight a shadow war against an enemy that owns the courts, the press, and the police. Feared even by his own teammates, hunted by the government, and too damaged to feel anything but clinical rage, he is utterly alone--until he meets Rowan. When Rowan Price stumbles across Delgado's team in an abandoned house, he is assigned to make contact with her, bring her in, and keep her alive--because Rowan is one of the most powerful psychics the resistance has ever encountered. She possesses a talent that can heal shattered minds and broken bodies, or it can incite riots and revolution. If the government gets its hands on her, she could very well mean the downfall of the resistance, because nobody, not even Rowan, is quite sure how far her talents extend or how powerful she could eventually become. Twenty-four hours after she meets Delgado, her life is shattered and she's on the run from Sigma. If Sigma can't take her freedom, they'll settle for her life. She is simply too powerful to be left alone. The Society will welcome Rowan, if she can stay alive long enough to join them. Unfortunately, there's a traitor buried in the ranks of the resistance, ready to betray everything the Society has worked so hard to achieve. If the Society goes down, Rowan is at risk. God alone knows what Delgado will do to keep her safe, because Rowan is fast becoming the only thing in the world he cares about...
