Написанная в сотрудничестве с музыкантами, эта биография рассказывает подлинную историю группы – причудливую, веселую, экстремальную и порой разрушительную. Она повествует о безрассудном и ярком Дэйве Гаане, скромном и искусном Мартине Горе, прагматичном и бескомпромиссном Энди Флетчере. С 1980-х годов знаменитое трио пережило немало трудностей на своем пути: личные проблемы, конфликты, уход Винса Кларка и Алана Уайлдера, и другие превратности мировой славы. Depeche Mode сумели изменить этот мир и стать самой популярной группой электронной музыки, которую он только знал. И это их история. «Скрупулезно исследованная история необычной группы… действительно увлекательная вещь». Uncut

Condenado por los dioses a vivir su existencia sin emociones, Xypher escoge la busqueda de las emociones, para sentir otra vez en los sueños de los humanos, solo para encontrarse a si mismo condenado a morir. Pero se le da una última oportunidad como indulto. Convertido en humano durante un mes, debe redimirse en ese tiempo o Hades lo devolverá al Tartaro y a su tortura. Simone Dubois es una forense la cual no se asusta por gran cosa, especialmente ya que es una psíquica y puede ver y oír a las personas con quienes está trabajando.

Xypher no quiere perder el tiempo con esa mujer humana y sus preguntas. Pero no pasa demasiado antes de que los misteriosos atentados contra la vida de Simone obliguen a Xypher a permanecer entre la mujer que está empezando a tocar el corazón que él pensaba había muerto hace tiempo y el peligro que amenaza la vida de ella

Un millar de años en un mundo gris han convertido a Zacarías de la Cruz en un experto ejecutor, un depredador tan oscuro y brutal como los vampiros a los que ha perseguido todos esos siglos. Su vida se ha convertido en un sinfín de batallas contra el mal que lo han convertido en un ser inflexible y inmisericorde de alma endurecida. Por fin, su salvaje travesía ha terminado. Zacarías ha conseguido proteger a su raza y todos sus hermanos disfrutan de la paz y la seguridad queél les ha procurado, incluso a riesgo de perder su propia cordura. Ahora Zacarías, que ya no tiene a quién perseguir, se pregunta, por primera vez en su vida, quién esél en realidad. La respuesta lo aguarda en Perú, su propia tierra, donde se encontrará con una traición inesperada, con la venganza de un viejo enemigo, con las inevitables consecuencias de un sanguinario legado familiar, y, quizás, con la compañera perfecta para el reposo del guerrero

Dept. of Speculation is a portrait of a marriage. It is also a beguiling rumination on the mysteries of intimacy, trust, faith, knowledge, and the condition of universal shipwreck that unites us all. Jenny Offill’s heroine, referred to in these pages as simply “the wife,” once exchanged love letters with her husband, postmarked Dept. of Speculation, their code name for all the uncertainty that inheres in life and in the strangely fluid confines of a long relationship. As they confront an array of common catastrophes — a colicky baby, bedbugs, a faltering marriage, stalled ambitions — the wife analyzes her predicament, invoking everything from Keats and Kafka to the thought experiments of the Stoics to the lessons of doomed Russian cosmonauts. She muses on the consuming, capacious experience of maternal love, and the near total destruction of the self that ensues from it, as she confronts the friction between domestic life and the seductions and demands of art. With cool precision, in language that shimmers with rage and wit and fierce longing, Jenny Offill has crafted an exquisitely suspenseful love story that has the velocity of a train hurtling through the night at top speed. Exceptionally lean and compact, Dept. of Speculation can be read in a single sitting, but there are enough bracing emotional insights in these pages to fill a much longer novel

In a post-apocalyptic flooded New York City, a private investigator’s routine surveillance case leads to a treasure everyone wants to find—and someone is willing to kill for. Depth combines hardboiled mystery and dystopian science fiction in a future where the rising ocean levels have left New York twenty-one stories under water and cut off from the rest of the United States. But the city survives, and Simone Pierce is one of its best private investigators. Her latest case, running surveillance on a potentially unfaithful husband, was supposed to be easy. Then her target is murdered, and the search for his killer points Simone towards a secret from the past that can’t possibly be real—but that won’t stop the city’s most powerful men and women from trying to acquire it for themselves, with Simone caught in the middle. “Heinlein meets Hammett in this whip-smart whodunnit set amid the billowing fog and rising waters of a future New York.” “I have long admired Lev Rosen's strange, genre-bending work—his riff on the detective story is elegant, surprising, and, yes, deep.” Lev AC Rosen is the author of the critically acclaimed All Men Of Genius (Tor, 2011), which was an Amazon Best of the Month, on over a dozen best of the year lists, and has been nominated for multiple awards. Locus Magazine described it as “mixing genres with fearless panache.” His work has been featured in Esopus Magazine and on various blogs including Tor.com. He lives in Manhattan

October 1914: the destroyer Svea emerges from the Stockholm archipelago bearing south-south-east. On board is Lars Tobiasson-Svartman, a naval engineer charged with making depth soundings to find a navigable channel for the Swedish navy. The engineer is fascinated by measurement, and his instinct for his profession is reflected in the comfortable domesticity he enjoys with his wife. Close to the waters where soundings are taken Tobiasson-Svartman alights on a barren skerry, presumed uninhabited, and is surprised to discover there a young woman. Despite her almost feral appearance, something about her strikes him. The mission is a success and the Svea returns to Gothenburg. Tobiasson-Svartman, however, remains haunted by this chance encounter; his equilibrium has been disturbed, and he feels compelled to return. In Depths Mankell confirms his status as a writer of great magnitude. By delving deep into the male psyche, he has produced a novel as tense and compelling as the Wallander series, but also powerful, moving and ultimately tragic
