La joven Carmen Dula y su familia están a punto de embarcar en la aventura de su vida: se van a Marte. Han sido elegidos al azar, y parece una gran oportunidad, pero Carmen tiene sus dudas. Nada más llegar al planeta rojo, Carmen se da cuenta de que las cosas no son tan diferentes. Igual que en la Tierra, hay mucho por hacer y por aprender, y una figura represora y autoritaria contra la que rebelarse. Su actitud díscola la colocará al borde la muerte, de la que escapará gracias a un ángel con un mensaje para los humanos que acaban de llegar para colonizar Marte: «Nosotros llegamos antes?». Un viaje épico en busca de la frontera más novedosa de la humanidad, cuyo destino es nuestro planeta más cercano. Solo que esa frontera no será tan nueva para todos?

It is extremely difficult to win a Hugo award. It is also extremely difficult to win a Nebula. These are like the Oscars and Golden Globes on the science fiction/fantasy writing side, and just like it is the extremely rare movie that gets both the Oscar and the Golden Globe for Best Movie, it is only stories of the highest caliber that get awarded both the Nebula and the Hugo. The Hugo is awarded at the annual Worldcon, voted on by fans. The Nebula is awarded by the Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers of America (SFWA) voted on by its member, primarily professional writers. A piece that wins both, signifies that it had wide-spread fan appeal (fan votes) and also the highest regard by professionals in the field (voted on by exclusively by SFWA member). A novella is something just short of a novel (in word-count), and many of the worlds outstanding series started off as novellas, including Orson Scott Card''s Ender''s Game (the novella is the one that won all the awards, and then was extended into a novel, and finally a series). Some consider the novella the perfect size for a story...large enough to develop it, but with a wordcount constrain that still imposes writing discipline. This anthology reprints four novellas, each of which has stood the test of time and each of which won both the Nebula and the Hugo. Some went on to win a plethora of other awards from around the world. For example, Mike Resnick''s "The Seven Views of Olduvai Gorge" may be one of the most awarded stories in science fiction, having won not only the Hugo and Nebula, but also the HOMer award, the SF Chronicle Award, and awards from countries like as Spain, France and Croatia. Here then are four of the most outstanding and most acclaimed novellas in science fiction, penned by Joe Haldeman, Lois McMaster Bujold, Mike Resnick and Nancy Kress. Beggars in Spain take place in a future where genetic engineering has become a reality, and society and culture face the consequences of genetic modifications. The story revolves around the existence of the "Sleepless" individuals genetically modified to not need sleep, who have greater potential for intelligence and accomplishment than ordinary humans, called "Sleepers". The Hemingway Hoax weaves together a story of an attempt to produce a fake Ernest Hemingway manuscript with themes concerning time travel and parallel worlds. The story is based on the real-life incident in Hemmingway''s life when his first wife Hadley lost a suitcase with his manuscripts. The Mountains of Mourning explores the concepts of justice and mercy when Miles Vorkosigan is sent to represent the empire in a far-flung rural village where a woman demands justice for the murder of her baby who was born healthy, but with a cleft lip and palate. The Seven Views of Olduvai Gorge explores the meaning of human progress and decline, long after humans have disappeared from the Earth. An alien archeological expedition is sent to explore humanities rise and fall in its birthplace of Olduvai Gorge where seven recounted stories based on artifacts found tell the tale of how they rose and how they fell, but also leave the aliens with an uneasy feeling of what the future may hold.

La guerra mundial del año 2085 ha aniquilado a una tercera parte de la población terrestre. La plaga que sobrevino inmediatamente después diezmó el número de supervivientes: los mayores de dieciocho años enloquecían y sufrían una muerte terrible. Marianne O¿Hara logra llegar a salvo a Nueva Nueva York, uno de los últimos mundos orbitales artificiales creados por el hombre, pero tendrá que vivir dividida entre el deseo de volver para ayudar a su amante terrícola, atrapado en un planeta devastado y sin ley, habitado por mutantes, locos y seguidores del culto por la sangre, y su deber de buscar un nuevo hogar para la humanidad en los confines más alejados del espacio exterior.

The Hemingway Hoax is a Hugo- and Nebula-winning novella that weaves an intricate plot of a fake Hemingway manuscript with time travel, multiple universes, and the potential destruction of the omniverse itself. *** Hemingway''s first wife, Hadley, lost a bag containing the manuscript of his first novel on a Parisian train. In 1996, John Baird, a renowned Hemingway scholar, decides to use that loss to account for a fake manuscript he creates. *** Little does Baird suspect that his attempt to pass off the forgery as a recovered Hemingway manuscript will take him on a journey involving parallel universes and time travel. For Hemingway''s reputation is intricately linked to the fate of multiple worlds in the omniverse and any attempt to change that can have disastrous consequences.

The Pimping Preacher, for me started out with a Pastor, who''s blackmailed into sadistic crimes, and a drug dealer without conscience. The novel is mixed with corrupt and betrayal, though totally fictional portrayals. The deception and power of success can corrupt the most pure hearts. Agent Watson plays a dirty game. The twists in this piece are unpredictable. The story lines are full of suspense, mystery, and the reality of the power of forgiveness, as a Pastor is given another opportunity to redeem himself. The murders are potentially senseless, except for the golden rule. Do unto others as you would have them to do unto you. Percilla and Nene were opportunists who got what they had coming. Michael Steel was so blinded by his power and money; until he underestimated Rolo''s grind and thirst for his position. This read is intended to spark and stir up passion for Leslia and Sophia.

One murder on a pleasure boat. A famous, glamorous husband has disappeared. The guests all had reason to love and hate both. The most famous of Spanish detectives discovers truths going back 30 years.

The mysterious alien Others have prohibited humans from space travel-destroying Earth''s fleet of starships in a display of unimaginable power. Now Carmen Dula, the first human to encounter Martians and then the mysterious Others, and her colleagues struggle to find a way, using nineteenth-century technology, to reclaim the future that has been stolen from them.

„O carte cu o solutie increzatoare ca razboiul se poate termina in secolul XXI.“ Library Journal 2043 A.D.: In plin razboi soldatii manevreaza masinarii de lupta de la sute de kilometri distanta. Julian Class este unul dintre acesti luptatori si pentru el razboiul e iadul. Tensiunea psihologica si violenta devin de nesuportat. Dar chiar in astfel de momente face o descoperire stiintifica incredibila. O descoperire care nu e ingrozitoare ci tentanta. Ea poate schimba traiectoria universului. „Romanul are o enorma incarcatura emotionala. Ca de obicei Haldeman scrie cu inteligenta si forta despre ororile razboiului si despre aparenta incapacitate a omenirii de a-si invinge impulsurile violente.“ Publishers Weekly „Haldeman este de multa vreme unul dintre scriitorii nostri cei mai patrunzatori si cei mai necesari. El vorbeste de undeva din adancul sinelui colectiv si mai important din adancul propriului sau sine. Arta lui e configurata de intelepciunea greu castigata a supravietuitorului.“ Peter Straub "

En 1992 el joven Hemingway, todavía promesa en el mundo de las letras, sufre la pérdida de una maleta que contiene la única copia de su primera novela y de algunos de sus primeros relatos. Casi ochenta años más tarde, un desaprensivo intenta que un profes

La guerra interminable, considerada por la prestgiosa Kirkus Review la mejor obra de Joe Haldemn y galardonada con los premios Nebula, Hugo y Lcus de 1974, a menudo se ha interpretado como un réplica a la ideología subyacente en Tropas delespacio, de Robert Heinlen. En ella aborda Haldean dos de los grandes temas de la literatura de odos los tiempos, la guerra y el amor, enmarcándlos en un conflicto bélico interplanetario de laga duración. Pero es sobre todo por la perfecta reación de personajes y por el t

Des êtres multiformes et télépathes anéantissent avec une violence inouïe les membres d''une expédition de routine chargée d''explorer une planète jugée sans danger. On ignore tout de leurs mobiles, aucune communication avec eux n''est possible. Or tout porte à croire qu''ils se préparent à envahir la Terre. Dernier espoir de l''humanité : établir le contact avec eux par le truchement d''un petit animal extraterrestre récemment découvert sur une autre planète ; un animal ayant la particularité d''établir un lien psychique entre les deux êtres qui le touchent en même temps. Mais la compréhension peut-elle naître entre deux races orgueilleuses que tout semble opposer ? Par l''auteur de l''inoubliable Guerre éternelle et du Vieil homme et son double, un space-opera d''une profonde originalité, à mi-chemin entre Etoiles garde-à-vous de Robert Heinlein et Starship Troopers, son adaptation cinématographique réalisée par Paul Verhoeven.

Vous voyez ça d''ici. Des simili gorilles défoncés au bismuth qui entassent leurs défunts ancêtres dans leur salon comme des fagots de bois mort. Une planète reculée où des chauves-souris géantes font la loi dans le ciel nocturne, où des serpents gros comme des semi-remorques rôdent dans la jungle. Un cafard sarcastique, aussi gros qu''un homme, qui connaît le Talmud par cœur, jure comme un charretier et prétend être immortel. Pendant plus de vingt ans, rien que de très banal dans tout ça pour Otto Mc Gavin, ex-agent du mythique T.B.I.I., chargé de maintenir l''ordre dans ces endroits pourris et qui, au seuil de la retraite, s''interroge sur son passé. Car enfin, peut-on être à la fois flic, anglo-bouddhiste fervent et non violent convaincu ? Sous les apparences d''un space-opéra loufoque, une réflexion sarcastique sur la violence d''Etat et la perversion du pouvoir.
