New Releases by Paolo BACIGALUPI

¡Última entrega de esta trilogía de ciencia ficción! Tool, mitad hombre y mitad bestia diseñada para el combate, demuestra ser capaz de mucho más de lo que sus creadores habían soñado nunca. Erigido en líder de un grupo de niños soldado y perseguido implacablemente por alguien decidido a destruirlo, Tool guarda celosamente su secreto más preocupante: ha encontrado la manera de resistir sus impulsos implantados genéticamente de sumisión y lealtad hacia sus amos. Ahora ha llegado el momento de empezar una guerra contra quienes lo crearon como esclavo. De uno de los maestros indiscutibles de la ciencia ficción contemporánea llega un relato fascinante que explora las intrincadas relaciones que conectan al cazador y la presa, al amo y al esclavo, al humano y al monstruo.

Segunda parte de la trilogía de Bacigalupi. Los niños soldado emergieron de la oscuridad. Sus armas brillaban apagadamente. Bandoleras de balas y cicatrices cubrían sus pechos desnudos y sus caras aparecían marcadas por rastros de heridas. Sabía por qué habían venido los niños soldado. Sabía lo que buscaban y también sabía que, si lo encontraban, su mejor amiga moriría. En un futuro oscuro en Estados Unidos donde la violencia, el terror y el dolor se han extendido por todo el continente, los jóvenes refugiados Mahlia y Mouse han logrado dejar atrás las tierras devastadas por la guerra de las Ciudades Sumergidas escapando a las afueras de la jungla. Pero, cuando descubren a Tool, su frágil existencia colapsa rápidamente. Tool es una bestia de guerra creada mediante bioingeniería, ahora herida y perseguida por un grupo de soldados vengativos. Pronto, uno de los compañeros es hecho prisionero por los soldados y el otro se enfrenta a una decisión imposible: arriesgarlo todo para salvar a un amigo o huir a un lugar donde la libertad finalmente sea posible.

Primera parte de esta trilogía de ciencia ficción. En la costa de lo que una vez fue el golfo de México, la gente sobrevive desguazando antiguos petroleros y buques mercantes, y malvendiendo lo que encuentra a las grandes empresas. Nailer y sus compañeros, la «cuadrilla ligera», afrontan el trabajo más arriesgado: meterse en las entrañas de los barcos a rebuscar. Es una profesión dura en un mundo duro, en el que nadie cuida de nadie y gana el más rápido. Sin embargo, la suerte sonríe a Nailer el día que descubre un hermoso velero encallado en las rocas. Con lo que saque del naufragio, podría abandonar la playa. Pero dentro también hay una prisionera: si la mata, será rico; si la ayuda a regresar con los suyos... empezará la aventura.

WINNER OF THE WORLD FANTASY AWARD FOR BEST COLLECTION From award-winning and New York Times bestselling authors Paolo Bacigalupi and Tobias Buckell comes a fantasy novel told in four parts about a land crippled by the use of magic, and a tyrant who is trying to rebuild an empire—unless the people find a way to resist. Khaim, The Blue City, is the last remaining city in a crumbled empire that overly relied upon magic until it became toxic. It is run by a tyrant known as The Jolly Mayor and his devious right hand, the last archmage in the world. Together they try to collect all the magic for themselves so they can control the citizens of the city. But when their decadence reaches new heights and begins to destroy the environment, the people stage an uprising to stop them. In four interrelated parts, The Tangled Lands is an evocative and epic story of resistance and heroic sacrifice in the twisted remains surrounding the last great city of Khaim. Paolo Bacigalupi and Tobias Buckell have created a fantasy for our times about a decadent and rotting empire facing environmental collapse from within—and yet hope emerges from unlikely places with women warriors and alchemical solutions.

Set in a dark future devastated by climate change, Tool of War is the third book in a major adventure series by a bestselling and award-winning science fiction author and starring the most provocative character from the acclaimed novels Ship Breaker and The Drowned Cities. In this gripping, eerily prescient sci-fi thriller that Kirkus described as "masterful," Tool--a half-man/half-beast designed for combat--proves himself capable of so much more than his creators had ever dreamed. He has gone rogue from his pack of bioengineered "augments" and emerged a victorious leader of a pack of human soldier boys. But he is hunted relentlessly by someone determined to destroy him, who knows an alarming secret: Tool has found the way to resist his genetically ingrained impulses of submission and loyalty toward his masters... The time is coming when Tool will embark on an all-out war against those who have enslaved him. From one of science fiction''s undisputed masters comes a riveting and all-too-timely page-turner that explores the intricate relationships connecting hunter and prey, master and enslaved, human and monster. "Suzanne Collins may have put dystopian literature on the YA map with ''The Hunger Games''...but Bacigalupi is one of the genre''s masters, employing inventively terrifying details in equally imaginative story lines." --Los Angeles Times

Traditional Chinese edition of The Water Knife, a novel by Paolo Bacigalupi, author of The Windup Girl, a 2010 Nebula Award and a 2010 Hugo Award winner.

Num futuro árido e tumultuado, em que a água ganhou o status de commodity mais valiosa, o direito de uso das fontes e dos rios é alvo de disputas ferrenhas. Uma guerra entre governos, órgãos públicos e empresários, na qual vale tudo. Enquanto advogados e burocratas armam-se com infinitos processos judiciais, mercenários e militares subjugam proprietários de terra, implodem estações de tratamento e interrompem o abastecimento de regiões inteiras. Nesse cenário surge Angel, um faca de água, um dos muitos mercenários com a missão de cortar e desviar o fornecimento de água a mando de quem paga mais. Lucy é uma jornalista premiada que decidiu revelar para o mundo a realidade da Grande Seca. Maria é uma jovem cuja vida foi destruída pelos efeitos das mudanças climáticas. Quando o direito de usar a água significa dinheiro para alguns e sobrevivência para outros, o que esses três personagens não sabem é que seu encontro é um marco que poderá mudar tudo. Um novo fiel da balança que sempre pendeu para o mesmo lado. Futurista, mas nada improvável, Faca de água é um thriller que perpassa por questões econômicas, ambientais e éticas numa narrativa que extrapola o gênero, daquelas que se lê de uma tacada só e depois leva-se um longo tempo assimilando. “Um pouco de Laranja mecânica com o melhor de William Gibson.” Los Angeles Times “Perturbadoramente plausível.” Kirkus Reviews

Una escalofriante aventura futurista que arroja nueva luz a nuestra forma de vivir, Cuchillo de agua es la primera novela adulta de Paolo Bacigalupi después de la aclamadísima, multipremiada e internacionalmente exitosa La chica mecánica. LÉELA ANTES DE QUE LA REALIDAD SUPERE LA FICCIÓN. Cuando el río Colorado se seca, el sur de Estados Unidos se convierte en el escenario desértico de una guerra por el agua. En un futuro no muy lejano, tras siglos de sobreexplotación, el río Colorado está secándose. La catástrofe obliga a miles de ciudadanos a emigrar a zonas más fértiles de Estados Unidos, pero los estados deciden construir barreras para impedir la marea de refugiados que se les viene encima. A medida que la sequía se extiende y se prolonga, el campo y las ciudades se convierten en páramos sin ley, presas de especuladores que empiezan a comerciar con la desesperación de los seres humanos. En medio de esta desalmada guerra por el agua, el mercenario Angel Velasquez está al servicio de un poderoso cártel que busca nuevos acuíferos. Siguiendo su cometido se cruza con la curtida periodista Lucy Monroe, quien conoce de primera mano el peligro de saber demasiado, y con la joven Maria, hija de un inmigrante mexicano que sueña con escaparse al norte, donde dicen que la tierra sigue poblada de lagos y aún cae agua del cielo. Con la ciudad de Phoenix viniéndose abajo, no queda más remedio que depender los unos de los otros para sobrevivir. Aun así, en un escenario donde el agua vale más que el oro, las alianzas resultan tan movedizas como la arena. La opinión de la crítica: «Épico... Visionario.» Publishers Weekly «Un thriller espectacular, brillantemente imaginado y escrito, que te hará reflexionar mientras lo devoras.» Lee Child «Una mezcla entre Chinatown y Mad Max.» NPR «Un thriller que va más allá del género... Bacigalupi entreteje acción trepidante con temas de actualidad.» Los Ángeles Times «Las páginas se pasan prácticamente solas en una trama tensa, llena de traiciones y dobles traiciones, a la que unos personajes fascinantes añaden mayor profundidad.» Library Journal «Bacigalupi imagina con gran realismo los aterradores detalles de cómo el mundo podría sufrir una sequía de dimensiones catastróficas.» Kirkus Reviews «El apocalipsis que imagina Bacigalupi te hará reflexionar como ningún otro.» The Wall Street Journal

NATIONAL BESTSELLER • A "fresh, genre-bending thriller” (Los Angeles Times) set in the near future when water is scarce and a spy, a hardened journalist and a young Texas migrant find themselves pawns in a corrupt game. "Think Chinatown meets Mad Max." NPR, All Things Considered In the near future, the Colorado River has dwindled to a trickle. Detective, assassin, and spy, Angel Velasquez “cuts” water for the Southern Nevada Water Authority, ensuring that its lush arcology developments can bloom in Las Vegas. When rumors of a game-changing water source surface in Phoenix, Angel is sent south, hunting for answers that seem to evaporate as the heat index soars and the landscape becomes more and more oppressive. There, he encounters Lucy Monroe, a hardened journalist with her own agenda, and Maria Villarosa, a young Texas migrant, who dreams of escaping north. As bodies begin to pile up, the three find themselves pawns in a game far bigger and more corrupt than they could have imagined, and when water is more valuable than gold, alliances shift like sand, and the only truth in the desert is that someone will have to bleed if anyone hopes to drink.

In this Hugo and Nebula Award-nominated short story, a Laotian journalist, Ong, tries to succeed in an American news agency where glamorous “click-bait” stories drive revenue, and in-depth news stories are a dying breed. As Ong struggles to survive in the newsroom, he must choose whether he will pursue clicks and success, or stay true to his ideals, and risk everything because of it. “The Gambler” was nominated for the 2009 Hugo Award for Best Novelette, and the 2009 Nebula Award for Best Novelette. It was featured in Gardner Dozois’s “Year’s Best SF” Twenty-Sixth Edition, Jonathan Strahan’s “Best SF of the Year” Volume 3, and originally published in Pyr’s Fast Forward 2 Anthology. Reviews: “The stories he [Paolo] chooses to write are those that make an easy extrapolation of the present into the near future, but with an immediacy and richness of detail that shows the reader just how close we are to seeing this come to pass. The world of The Gambler isn’t as dystopian as what we normally get from him, but his protagonist still serves a similar function as a lone voice of reason in a future you would not prefer but which seems somehow inevitable. There may be some analogy there with the author himself, but either way this is a nicely done story.” --- Mataglap SF “…The story … wisely spends its time deepening Ong’s quiet but firm sincerity. The end of the “The Gambler” is probably the most touching thing Bacigalupi has yet written: what Ong gambles on is human nature, and Bacigalupi makes us want him to win.” ---Torque Control

In “The People of Sand and Slag,” a Hugo and Nebula Award-nominated short story, Paolo Bacigalupi weaves a tale about the lives of three technologically modified guards, their barren, heavily mined landscape, and a chance encounter with a creature rare for their time period – a dog. What starts off as a hunt for an enemy ends up as a story of empathy, and what it means to be human. “The People of Sand and Slag” was nominated for the 2005 Hugo Award for Best Novelette, and the 2006 Nebula Award for Best Novelette. It was featured in Gardner Dozois’s “Year’s Best SF” Twenty-Second Edition, Jonathan Strahan’s “Best SF of the Year” 2004 Edition, and in John Joseph Adams’ “Wastelands” Anthology in 2008. Reviews: “A difficult and touching story, which steps pretty far outside the box to examine our relationship to pets, and to nature. At every stage, Bacigalupi gets it right.” --- Internet Review of Science Fiction “Bacigalupi posits a future where humanity has adapted itself to living in a hostile environment. ... There is plenty of techie stuff entwined with the premise itself to satisfy the hardest of hard sf readers, but the main attraction of this story is the faint hope that those parts of us that can accept the "other" might still exist in a world where self-preservation and survival come first.” --- Tangent Online

Winner of the Hugo and Nebula awards for best novel, a new edition of the break-out science fiction debut featuring additional stories and a Q&A with the author. Anderson Lake is AgriGen’s Calorie Man, sent to work undercover as a factory manager in Thailand while combing Bangkok’s street markets in search of foodstuffs thought to be extinct, hoping to reap the bounty of history’s lost calories. Emiko is the Windup Girl, a strange and beautiful creature. Emiko is not human; she is an engineered being, grown and programmed to satisfy the decadent whims of a Kyoto businessman, but now abandoned to the streets of Bangkok. Regarded as soulless beings by some, devils by others, New People are slaves, soldiers, and toys of the rich in this chilling near future in which calorie companies rule the world, the oil age has passed, and the side effects of bio-engineered plagues run rampant across the globe. What happens when calories become currency? What happens when bio-terrorism becomes a tool for corporate profits and forces mankind to the cusp of post-human evolution? Bacigalupi delivers one of the most highly-acclaimed science fiction novels of the twenty-first century. In this brand new edition celebrating the book’s reception into the canon of celebrated modern science fiction, accompanying the text are two novelettes exploring the dystopian world of The Windup Girl, the Theodore Sturgeon Award-winning “The Calorie Man” and “Yellow Card Man.” Also included are course-work questions for use in the classroom, and an exclusive Q&A with the author describing his writing process, the political climate into which his debut novel was published, and the future of science fiction.
