Caos
by S. Q. Mariscal¿Quien dijo que en un apocalipsis zombi la amenaza sería un humano que disfruta con lo que hace? Olvídate de héroes de alma pura y ríndete a este antihéroe tan poco convencional. Un libro rápido de leer que te mantendrá tenso y enganchado en cada una de sus páginas. Una forma de ver el apocalipsis zombi algo diferente al resto.

Caos (La Biblioteca de lo Profano 1 #1)
by Jb TrepagnierLa Biblioteca de lo Profano tiene todo lo que tu corazón negro desea. Pero no permitimos que cualquiera obtenga una tarjeta de biblioteca. ¿Necesitas invocar a un demonio? ¿Levantar a los muertos? ¿Un clan de vampiros te molesta? ¿Te gusta la erótica de hombres lobo realmente desagradable? La Biblioteca de lo Profano tiene todo eso, pero no todo el mundo puede manejar su contenido (algunas personas no pueden manejar su erótica de hombres lobo). He sido bibliotecario aquí durante cinco años y cuando digo que maté para conseguir este trabajo, no estoy siendo bromista. No puedes sacar nuestros libros. Algunos de los libros son sensibles y no les gusta. Tenemos salas para realizar los hechizos o demonios, tenemos una fotocopiadora (las copias son extra). Cuando una bruja vino y dijo que necesitaba hacer un poco de nigromancia, no lo cuestioné. No se les habría dado el carné de la biblioteca si fueran a resucitar a alguien realmente malo. Ayudé con la nigromancia porque es mi trabajo como bibliotecaria. Excepto que no era una resurrección normal. Era la encarnación física del Caos y cuando despertó, me vio primero y ahora está pegado. El Caos personificado es un huésped horrible de la biblioteca y no se va con la bruja que lo crió. Se mete constantemente en cosas que no debe y está muy metido en la erótica de los hombres lobo. No puedo dejarlo salir porque la Biblioteca de lo Profano está destinada a contener el Caos. El resto del mundo no lo es. También es muy malo para mantener su identidad en secreto. Un brujo, un sabueso infernal y un vampiro saben que está aquí y me están molestando para que deje que el Caos se divierta un poco. Sólo quiero un día normal de invocar demonios, maldecir a la gente y decirle a la gente que se calle en mi biblioteca. Esto es demasiado.
Caos: Un Romanzo Paranormale ad Harem Inverso (La Biblioteca del Profano #1)
by Jb TrepagnierLa Biblioteca del Profano ha tutto quello che il tuo cuore oscuro desidera. Ma non tutti possono ottenere la tessera della biblioteca. Hai bisogno di invocare un demone? Risvegliare i morti? Un clan di vampiri ti importuna? Fan della letteratura erotica dove ci sono dei lupi mannari cattivi? La Biblioteca del Profano offre tutto questo, ma non tutti riescono a gestire i suoi contenuti (alcuni non riescono a gestire la letteratura erotica licantropica). Sono cinque anni che faccio la bibliotecaria qui, e quando dico che ho ucciso per questo lavoro, non è una battuta. Non puoi prendere in prestito i nostri libri. Alcuni tra questi hanno una coscienza e non vogliono. Abbiamo stanze dove compiere gli incantesimi, e abbiamo anche una fotocopiatrice (le copie sono extra). Quando è arrivata una strega e ha detto di aver bisogno di praticare un po’ di necromanzia, non ho fatto domande. Non avrebbe una tessera della biblioteca se avesse cattive intenzioni, come risvegliare qualcuno di terribile. L’ho aiutata con la necromanzia perché è quello che devo fare in quanto bibliotecaria. Solo che non si trattava di una resurrezione ordinaria. Era l’incarnazione fisica di Caos. Quando si è risvegliato, sono stata io la prima cosa che ha visto, e ora si sente legato a me. Caos fatto persona è un cliente tremendo, e non vuole andarsene con la strega che lo ha risvegliato. È sempre impegnato a mettere il naso in cose in cui non dovrebbe, e va matto per la letteratura erotica licantropica. Non posso nemmeno lasciarlo uscire perché la Biblioteca del Profano è pensata per contenere il Caos. Il resto del mondo no. Inoltre, fa schifo a tenere segreta la sua identità. Uno stregone, un Mastino Infernale e un vampiro sanno che si trova qui, e mi stressano per lasciarlo divertire un po’. Voglio solo passare una giornata normale a invocare demoni, maledire persone e dire a tutti di stare zitti nella mia biblioteca. Così è troppo.<

by Shane HegartyEl tercer libro de la serie «Las aventuras de Finn en Bocanegra» es monstruosamente divertido y trepidante. Va a ser legendario... ¿Hay algo más duro que tener trece años y estar destinado a luchar contra las peores criaturas mágicas nunca vistas, las llamadas leyendas mitológicas, sin tener ningún talento para ello? Ése es el destino del pobre Finn, a quien, a pesar de todos sus temores, van a nombrar oficialmente Cazador de Leyendas de Bocanegra, un cargo que su familia siempre había deseado para él. ¡Parece que Finn ya no tiene escapatoria! Sin embargo, a pocas horas de que empiece la ceremonia de nombramiento, algunas personas desaparecen misteriosamente, una fuerza oscura ronda por la aldea y cada vez hay más indicios de que el ataque más virulento de todos los tiempos está a punto de estallar. Menos mal que Emmie ha vuelto a Bocanegra para asistir a la ceremonia, pues nunca ha sido más importante para Finn tener una amiga a su lado cuando todo el peso del mundo o, mejor dicho, de dos mundos, está a punto de caer sobre sus hombros. Reseña:«Un libro increíble.»Eoin Colfer, autor de Artemis Fowl
Capacity
by Tony BallantyneWelcome to the year 2252--and congratulations! You're now a personality construct. We know that can be a daunting stage of personal development, especially if you don't remember making this life-changing decision. But we're here to help.... Helen is waking to a dark new reality--one that she's certain she didn't choose. In this borrowed existence, she finds an unexpected guide in Judy, a geisha-faced virgin who's on a mission of her own. Together, the two of them begin a dangerous run through dozens of imagined worlds in an attempt to trap a psychopath haunting the shadowed areas of virtual space--a killer who brutally murdered an earlier version of Helen and who plans to kill again. Meanwhile, Justinian is investigating a peculiar rash of AI suicides on far-off planets--and finds that not only is there more to these "deaths" than he thought, but that they may be linked to his wife Anya's mysterious coma. In a future where AIs have taken over human life and the Environment Agency runs everything for our own good, the fact that we can live on after physical death as sentient digital beings should have been a good thing. Instead, as Helen and Justinian are about to discover, it just means there are more ways to die. From the Paperback edition.
