Vae Victus

VAE VICTUS narra cuatro nuevas aventuras del ingeniero Martí Zuviría.El libro comienza el 12 de septiembre de 1714, el día siguiente de la caída de Barcelona y poco antes de que Zuviría huya a Norteamérica, donde ayudará a los indios yamas en la guerra contra los colonos ingleses. Después de la aventura americana, volveremos a Cataluña, pero también iremos a Londres, Alemania e incluso a Nueva Zelanda. Nos reencontraremos con personajes históricos que ya conocimos en VICTUS, como el ambiguo duque de Berwick, su acérrimo enemigo Verboom o el admirado general Villarroel, al mismo tiempo que descubriremos a algunos nuevos, como el famoso guerrillero antiborbónico Pere Joan Barceló –alias Carrasclet– o el explorador inglés James Cook.Sánchez Piñol confirma con VAE VICTUS su pulso narrativo, un equilibrio prodigioso entre el rigor histórico y la imaginación más desbordante y un sentido del humor que convierten su prosa en una de las más modernas y a la vez populares de nuestro tiempo.

Alone

Sienna Nealon was a 17 year-old girl who had been held prisoner in her own house by her mother for twelve years. Then one day her mother vanished, and Sienna woke up to find two strange men in her home. On the run, unsure of who to turn to and discovering she possesses mysterious powers, Sienna finds herself pursued by a shadowy agency known as the Directorate and hunted by a vicious, bloodthirsty psychopath named Wolfe, each of which is determined to capture her for their own purposes...

Untouched

Still haunted by her last encounter with Wolfe and searching for her mother, Sienna Nealon must put aside her personal struggles when a new threat emerges – Aleksandr Gavrikov, a metahuman so powerful, he could destroy entire cities – and he's focused on bringing the Directorate to its knees.

Victus

VICTUS es una novela histórica que nos narra la guerra de Sucesión española, un conflicto que puede considerarse como la primera de las contiendas mundiales y que termina el 11 de septiembre de 1714 con el apocalíptico asalto a Barcelona. También es la tragedia de Martí Zuviría, un joven barcelonés, alumno aventajado del marqués de Vauban, que se convierte en un genio de la ingeniería militar.VICTUS cuestiona las versiones oficiales de ambos bandos y cede la palabra a los auténticos protagonistas de la historia, desde la figura inmensa de Villarroel, el general que defendió la capital catalana con lágrimas en los ojos, hasta los civiles y soldados anónimos de todas las naciones que lucharon a un lado y otro de las murallas.

Hannu Rajaniemi

The Fractal Prince

"The good thing is, no one will ever die again. The bad thing is, everyone will want to."

A physicist receives a mysterious paper. The ideas in it are far, far ahead of current thinking and quite, quite terrifying. In a city of "fast ones," shadow players, and jinni, two sisters contemplate a revolution. And on the edges of reality a thief, helped by a sardonic ship, is trying to break into a Schrödinger box for his patron. In the box is his freedom. Or not. Jean de Flambeur is back. And he's running out of time. In Hannu Rajaniemi's sparkling follow-up to the critically acclaimed international sensation The Quantum Thief, he returns to his awe-inspiring vision of the universe...and we discover what the future held for Earth.

Seattle Ted Perry

Així s’acabarà la vida

Des d’antic, el moviment ecologista ha estat cercant textos i motius inspiradors per difondre el seu missatge, i als EUA dels setanta, Ted Perry, que era guionista, basant-se en publicacions anteriors, va escriure un text commovedor que està considerat pel moviment mundial de defensors de la Terra i els drets dels pobles com una obra mestra. El seu text ha estat recollit, adaptat i il·lustrat moltes vegades i en multitud d’idiomes al llarg i ample del planeta per tal de divulgar el missatge altermundista. Tanmateix, el mateix Perry va reconèixer l’autoria de l’escrit com a part del guió de la pel·lícula «Home», i va esmentar les fons en les quals es va inspirar per redactar el seu text. Evidentment, l’origen del seu escrit és la carta enviada pel cabdill Seattle en negociar l’abandonament de les seves terres amb el negociat d’afers indis del govern dels EUA, que va acabar per no complir els compromisos adquirits i signats amb els indis. No obstant, és sabut i manifest que Perry va ser l’artífex principal de la versió més coneguda i que va alterar ostensiblement la redacció original del cabdill Seattle.

Hannu Rajaniemi

The Causal Angel

With his infectious love of storytelling in all its forms, his rich characterization and his unrivaled grasp of thrillingly bizarre cutting-edge science, Hannu Rajaniemi swiftly set a new benchmark for Science Fiction in the 21st century. Now, with his third novel, he completes the tale of the many lives, and minds, of gentleman rogue Jean de Flambeur.

Influenced as much by the fin de siècle novels of Maurice leBlanc as he is by the greats of SF, Rajaniemi weaves intricate, warm capers through dazzling science, extraordinary visions of a wild future,and deep conjectures on the nature of reality and story.

In The Causal Angel we will discover the ultimate fates of Jean, his employer Miele, the independently minded ship Perhonnen, and the rest of a fractured and diverse humanity flung throughout the solar system.

Els catalans a les guerres del món

L’esperit de resistència d’un poble, el caràcter bel·licós dels catalans. Una aproximació fascinant i rigorosa a la participació de Catalunya a les guerres del món al llarg de la història, des de l’expedició contra el califat de Còrdova de l’any 1010 fins a la guerra dels Balcans dels anys 1991 al 1995. La presència bèl·lica dels catalans al món ha estat constant, tot i que mai fins ara havia estat prou documentada. Amb Els catalans a les guerres del món, els historiadors Josep Maria Solé i Sabaté i Eduard Puigventós López posen sobre la taula amb tots els detalls a l’abast —molts dels quals són arguments inèdits, textos sense ressenyar o dades mai publicades— una realitat sovint menystinguda: el poble català és d’esperit combatiu, indòcil i rebel i ha estat protagonista de moltes de les guerres que han marcat el transcurs de la història.

Moon Dance

The thrilling first novel in Amazon's #1 bestselling supernatural mystery series. For fans of Sookie Stackhouse, Harry Dresden and Anita Blake, Moon Dance heralds the arrival of America's favorite new vampire detective.

Six years ago federal agent Samantha Moon was the perfect wife and mother, your typical soccer mom with the minivan and suburban home. Then the unthinkable happens, an attack that changes her life forever. And forever is a very long time for a vampire.

Now working the night shift as a private investigator, Samantha is hired by Kingsley Fulcrum to investigate the murder attempt on his life, a horrific scene captured on TV and seen around the country. But as the case unfolds, Samantha discovers Kingsley isn't exactly what he appears to be; after all, there is a reason why he survived five shots to the head.

"J.R. Rain's MOON DANCE is a fabulous urban fantasy replete with multifarious and unusual characters, a perfectly synchronized plot, vibrant dialogue and sterling witticism all wrapped in a voice that is as beautiful as it is rich and vividly intense as it is relaxed."
-April Vine, author of The Billionaire's Bride

Review

"I enjoyed Moon Dance immensely! The protagonist, Samantha Moon, is a female vampire with a husband and children. Those predate her condition; six years ago she was attacked by a vampire and rendered into one. Now she's trying to carry on with family and private eye business, and she's a feisty, skilled person, so is doing mostly okay. It is not a horror story; she buys animal blood to eat and doesn't generally prey on humans. But her husband has an increasing problem with her coldness - not of spirit, but of body. 'You sicken me and scare the hell out of me,' he tells her. 'And when I touch you it's all I can do to not gag.' She replies, 'Words every wife wants to hear.' I love this! She really doesn't deserve to be frozen out of her marriage, yet his attitude is understandable. What makes Samantha Moon special are her character and nature."
-Piers Anthony, author of *A Spell for Chameleon*

"Beautiful Samantha Moon, Moon Dance's darling star, is a fiercely devoted mother, a private investigator and no ordinary vampire. Infected six years ago, and dieting on nothing but blood, Samantha strives for normalcy, keeping her vampiric nature second to the safety and well being of her family but fears her etherealness might be driving her husband to warmer pastures. So what does a larger than life, butt kicking anywhere anytime sexy and sassy mouthed vampire need? Kingsley Fulcrum. Her scrumptiously hot new client, who hires Samantha to find the culprit responsible for his multiple gunshot wounds while masking a dark secret of his own. Yummy!

As Samantha tracks down the curvy truth behind Fulcrum's attack, she is forced to face up to her own truths...that the spirit of the vampire within her cried for soaring liberation. Amidst the playful lightness and sparkling humor, Samantha must make painful decisions. Unleashing her freedom can only come at the cost of a heartbreaking sacrifice.

With an ensemble of unique secondary characters, a loyal sister, a hunky detective, a sweet vampire slayer, an online friend who's Samantha strong shoulder, add to that a medallion of special effects worn by her attacker and then sent to her and an unsuspecting and surprising twist make Moon Dance's multifaceted design sharp on details, impossible to put down and written with a smooth but gripping, entertaining and confident hand. I give Moon Dance ten delicious bites. You will too!"
-April Vine, author of *The Midnight Rose*

"Moon Dance is a must read. If you like Janet Evanovich's Stephanie Plum, bounty hunter, be prepared to love J. R. Rain's Samantha Moon, vampire private investigator."
-Eve Paludan, author of *Witchy Business*

"Moon Dance is absolutely brilliant!"
-Lisa Tenzin-Dolma, author of *Lainey's Lot*
