Fight Club

Chuck Palahniuk; James Colby; Javier Calvo Perales; Jordi Cussà Balaguer

El club de la lucha, una de las novelas contemporáneas más originales y provocadoras, que ya se ha convertido en un clásico underground. La primera regla del club de la lucha es no hablar del club de la lucha. Cada fin de semana, un puñado de jóvenes oficinistas se quita los zapatos y las camisas y pelean entre sí hasta la extenuación. Los lunes vuelven a sus despachos con los ojos amoratados y un embriagador sentimiento de omnipotencia. Pero estas reuniones son solo el comienzo del plan con el que Tyler Durden, proyeccionista, camarero y oscuro genio anárquico, aspira a vengarse de una sociedad paralizada por el consumismo exacerbado. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION The first rule about fight club is you don't talk about fight club. In his debut novel, Chuck Palahniuk showed himself to be his generation's most visionary satirist. Fight Club's estranged narrator leaves his lackluster job when he comes under the thrall of Tyler Durden, an enigmatic young man who holds secret boxing matches in the basement of bars. There two men fight "as long as they have to." A gloriously original work that exposes what is at the core of our modern world.

2010, odyssey two

"A daring romp through the solar system and a worthy successor to 2001." *Carl Sagan Nine years after the disastrous Discovery mission to Jupiter in 2001, a joint U.S.-Soviet expedition sets out to rendezvous with the derelict spacecraft *to search the memory banks of the mutinous computer HAL 9000 for clues to what went wrong . . . and what became of Commander Dave Bowman. Without warning, a Chinese expedition targets the same objective, turning the recovery mission into a frenzied race for the precious information Discovery may hold about the enigmatic monolith that orbits Jupiter. Meanwhile, the being that was once Dave Bowman *the only human to unlock the mystery of the monolith *streaks toward Earth on a vital mission of its own . . . "Clarke deftly blends discovery, philosophy, and a newly acquired sense of play." *Time "2010 is easily Clarkes' best book in over a decade." *The San Diego Tribune

The Lathe of Heaven

With a new introduction by Kelly Link, the Locus Award-winning science fiction novel by legendary author Ursula K. Le Guin, set in a world where one man’s dreams rewrite the future. During a time racked by war and environmental catastrophe, George Orr discovers his dreams alter reality. George is compelled to receive treatment from Dr. William Haber, an ambitious sleep psychiatrist who quickly grasps the immense power George holds. After becoming adept at manipulating George’s dreams to reshape the world, Haber seeks the same power for himself. George—with some surprising help—must resist Haber’s attempts, which threaten to destroy reality itself. A classic of the science fiction genre, The Lathe of Heaven is prescient in its exploration of the moral risks when overwhelming power is coupled with techno-utopianism.

The White Dragon

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • FINALIST FOR THE LOCUS AWARD • The third novel in the legendary and magical series featuring dragons, adventure, romance, and heroism, from Hugo and Nebula Award–winning author Anne McCaffrey, “one of my favorite authors of all time” (Brandon Sanderson) “Anne McCaffrey’s Pern novels are truly foundational books; it’s hard to imagine the modern-day landscape of fantasy and science fiction without them.”—Naomi Novik, author of the Temeraire series When Lessa chose a dragon over her birthright, the hold she was to have inherited passed to Lord Jaxom instead. But Jaxom then muddied generations of Pern tradition by impulsively Impressing Ruth, the small and singularly unique white dragon, as a child. From that moment on, the debate has raged. Is Jaxom now a dragonrider, or a lord holder? All anyone agrees on is that he cannot be both. But perhaps it is all academic anyway, for no one expects Ruth to survive. But Ruth not only survives, he thrives. With Jaxom on the cusp of adulthood, the thing the pair most desire is to fight Thread side-by-side with the larger dragons. Jaxom knows what his dragon is capable of, and now that he is—mostly—grown, he is determined to buck tradition. Fortunately, a teenage rebellion may be the key to both Pern’s salvation and winning the woman of his dreams. Don’t miss the original trilogy from Anne McCaffrey’s beloved Dragonriders of Pern series: DRAGONFLIGHT • DRAGONQUEST • THE WHITE DRAGON

Double Star

One minute, down-and-out actor Lorenzo Smythe was - as usual - in a bar, drinking away his troubles as he watched his career go down the tubes. Then a space pilot bought him a drink, and the next thing Smythe knew, he was shanghaied to Mars. Suddenly he found himself agreeing to the most difficult role of his career: impersonating an important politician who had been kidnapped. Peace with the Martians was at stake - failure to pull off the act could result in interplanetary war. And Smythe's own life was on the line - for if he wasn't assassinated, there was always the possibility that he might be trapped in his new role forever!

The Big Time

Fritz Leiber's "The Big Time" is a seminal work of science fiction that intricately weaves elements of time travel, alternate realities, and metaphysical musings into a rich narrative tapestry. Set within the confines of a transient time-warped space known as the Change, where soldiers and rebels from various eras convene, the novel explores the concept of temporal dislocation while delving into the psychological and sociopolitical implications of war. Leiber's prose is both fluid and incisive, reflecting a unique literary style that balances humor and poignancy, while its context in post-World War II science fiction reflects the anxieties and curiosities of a world grappling with the ramifications of advanced technology and the nature of existence itself. Fritz Leiber, a prominent figure in the fantasy and science fiction genres, brings to "The Big Time" his deep interest in philosophy, linguistics, and the nuances of human experience. His diverse background and extensive literary career allowed him to deftly navigate complex themes, infusing the narrative with personal reflections and sophisticated dialogue. Leiber's earlier works established his reputation, but it was this novel that solidified his place as a visionary thinkers within speculative fiction. I highly recommend "The Big Time" to readers eager for an intellectually stimulating experience that challenges the conventions of linear storytelling. Leiber's brilliant narrative invites readers to contemplate the enigmas of time and the human condition, making it an essential read for those intrigued by the interplay of science fiction, philosophy, and the complexities of existence.

The White Mountains (The Tripods #1)

On an Earth where the Tripods -- huge, three -- legged machines -- have ruled for as long as anyone can remember, thirteen-year-old Will harbors fears about the Capping ceremony he will soon undergo. Capping marks the transition from childhood into adulthood, but it also has a more sinister meaning: It is the Tripods who attach the metal headpieces to people's skulls, and once Capped, a person is forever a slave to them. As Will learns the truth, he realizes that he must escape while his mind is still his own. With two companions, he begins a journey across Europe to find the stronghold of the last free people in the world -- in the White Mountains of Switzerland. Thirty-five years after its original publication, we are proud to offer this anniversary edition of The White Mountains, featuring a new preface from John Christopher, as well as the author's fully revised text, available in the United States for the first time.

Beyond This Horizon

Utopia has been achieved. For centuries, disease, hunger, poverty and war have been things found only in the histories. And applied genetics has given men and women the bodies of athletes and a lifespan of over a century. They should all have been very happy.... But Hamilton Felix is bored. And he is the culmination of a star line; each of his last thirty ancestors chosen for superior genes. Hamilton is, as far as genetics can produce one, the ultimate man. And this ultimate man can see no reason why the human race should survive, and has no intention of continuing the pointless comedy. However, Hamilton's life is about to become less boring. A secret cabal of revolutionaries who find utopia not just boring, but desperately in need of leaders who know just What Needs to be Done, are planning to revolt and put themselves in charge. Knowing of Hamilton's disenchantment with the modern world, they have recruited him to join their Glorious Revolution. Big mistake! The revolutionaries are about to find out that recruiting a superman is definitely not a good idea.... With an all new afterword by Tony Daniel. At the publisher's request, this title is sold without DRM (Digital Rights Management).

God Emperor of Dune

The epic that began with the HUGO and NEBULA Award-winning classic DUNE continues ... More than three thousand years have passed since the first events recorded in DUNE. Only one link survives with those tumultuous times: the grotesque figure of Leto Atreides, son of the prophet Paul Muad'Dib, and now the virtually immortal God Emperor of Dune. He alone understands the future, and he knows with a terrible certainty that the evolution of his race is at an end unless he can breed new qualities into his species. But to achieve his final victory, Leto Atreides must also bring about his own downfall ...

Speaker for the Dead

La aclamada segunda parte de El juego de Ender, ganadora de los premios Nebula 1986, Hugo 1987 y Locus 1987. Una de las mejores sagas de ciencia ficción jamás publicadas. Después del genocidio de los Insectores, Ender Wiggin desapareció y en su lugar surgió una voz poderosa: la nueva religión de los Portavoces de los muertos, que sirven como sacerdotes a los que no creen en ningún Dios y, sin embargo, creen en los valores de los seres humanos. Han pasado tres mil años desde los hechos de El juego de Ender, pero los efectos del viaje relativista permiten la presencia de un Ender de treinta y cinco años, que será el elemento central en el segundo contacto de los seres humanos con otra raza galáctica. Esta especie, al igual que los Inspectores, resulta completamente extraña y, en sus primeros acercamientos a los seres humanos, han causado muertes incomprensibles. S o lo Ender, el xenocida , tendrá la valentía de afrontar la verdad.

Xenocide

The war for survival of the planet Lusitania will be fought in the heart of a child named Gloriously Bright. On Lusitania, Ender found a world where humans and pequininos and the Hive Queen could all live together; where three very different intelligent species could find common ground at last. Or so he thought. Lusitania also harbors the descolada, a virus that kills all humans it infects, but which the pequininos require in order to become adults. The Starways Congress so fears the effects of the descolada, should it escape from Lusitania, that they have ordered the destruction of the entire planet, and all who live there. The Fleet is on its way, a second xenocide seems inevitable. Xenocide is the third novel in Orson Scott Card's The Ender Saga.

Citizen of the Galaxy

Un gran clásico de la ciencia ficción de todos los tiempos, ahora en edición coleccionista para el lector joven. En una galaxia lejana, donde sigue vigente la esclavitud, otro niño huérfano es vendido en una subasta. Se trata de Thorby. Su nuevo dueño, Baslim, no es el mendigo lisiado que parece ser: tras adoptar a Thorby como si fuera su hijo, lucha sin descanso como espía abolicionista. Pero cuando las autoridades se acercan a Baslim, Thorby debe viajar a través de los mundos de una galaxia hostil y armarse de coraje para buscar su camino desde el último peldaño de la sociedad. En su lucha por ser reconocido como ciudadano de la galaxia, Thorby cambiará para siempre cuando descubra la verdad sobre su propia identidad. Esta novela, originariamente escrita en 1957, es un clásico indiscutible de la ciencia ficción, pero también una novela juvenil que, desde entonces, ha iniciado a varias generaciones de lectores en la literatura de género. Su autor, Robert A. Heinlein, es uno de los mayores creadores de la ciencia ficción clásica. La crítica ha dicho... «Tan satírica como provocativa... un protagonista que descubre los valores de la sociedad libre y del individuo.» Kirkus Reviews «Una poderosa combinación de ciencia ficción y misterio.» School Library Journal

Code to zero

Code to Zero is a fast-paced thriller about the satellite space race in the Cold War, from the master of suspense and author of The Pillars of the Earth, Ken Follett. A Man with No Memory A man wakes up to find himself lying on the ground in a railway station, his mind stripped bare of all recollection. He has no idea how he got there; he does not even know his own name. Convinced he is a drunken down and out, it isn’t until a newspaper report about a satellite launch catches his eye, that he suspects all is not what it seems . . . A Race for the Future The year is 1958, and America is about to launch its first satellite in a desperate attempt to match the Soviet Sputnik and regain the lead in the space race. As Luke Lucas gradually unravels the mystery of his amnesia, he realizes that his fate is bound up with that of the rocket that stands ready on launch pad 26B at Cape Canaveral. A World on the Brink As he relearns the story of his life, he uncovers long-kept secrets about his wife, his best friend and the woman he once loved more than life itself. But even more terrifying is the dark secret they tried to make him forget, a secret that threatens America’s survival.

The Black Cloud

Fred Hoyle was one of the most widely acclaimed and colourful scientists of the twentieth century, a down-to-earth Yorkshireman who combined a brilliant scientific mind with a relish for communication and controversy.Best known for his steady-state theory of cosmology, he described a universe with both an infinite past and an infinite future. He coined the phrase 'big bang' to describe the main competing theory, and sustained a long-running, sometimes ill-tempered, and typically public debate with his scientific rivals. He showed how the elements are formed by nuclear reactions inside stars, and explained how we are therefore all formed from stardust. He also claimed that diseases fall from the sky,attacked Darwinism, and branded the famous fossil of the feathered Archaeopteryx a fake.Throughout his career, Hoyle played a major role in the popularization of science. Through his radio broadcasts and his highly successful science fiction novels he became a household name, though his outspokenness and support for increasingly outlandish causes later in life at times antagonized the scientific community.Jane Gregory builds up a vivid picture of Hoyle's role in the ideas, the organization, and the popularization of astronomy in post-war Britain, and provides a fascinating examination of the relationship between a maverick scientist, the scientific establishment, and the public. Through the life of Hoyle, this book chronicles the triumphs, jealousies, rewards, and feuds of a rapidly developing scientific field, in a narrative animated by a cast of colourful astronomers, keeping secrets, losingtheir tempers, and building their careers here on Earth while contemplating the nature of the stars.

And Another Thing...

And Another Thing ... will be the sixth novel in the now improbably named Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy trilogy. Eight years after the death of its creator, Douglas Adams, the author's widow, Jane Belson, has given her approval for the project to be continued by the international number one bestselling children's writer, Eoin Colfer, author of the Artemis Fowl novels. Douglas Adams himself once said, 'I suspect at some point in the future I will write a sixth Hitchhiker book. Five seems to be a wrong kind of number, six is a better kind of number.' Belson said of Eoin Colfer, 'I love his books and could not think of a better person to transport Arthur, Zaphod and Marvin to pastures new.' Colfer, a fan of Hitchhiker since his schooldays, said, 'Being given the chance to write this book is like suddenly being offered the superpower of your choice. For years I have been finishing this incredible story in my head and now I have the opportunity to do it in the real world.' Prepare to be amazed...

Cryptonomicon

Considerada «la novela de culto de los hackers», Criptonomicón ha conseguido seducir a cien mil lectores en castellano y convertirse en uno de los títulos míticos de la ciencia ficción moderna desde su publicación en Nova. La presente edición en un solo volumen sirve para acercar a Neal Stephenson, uno de los autores más hipnóticos del género, a una nueva generación de lectores con su obra más emblemática, galardonada con el premio Locus y definida como «un bombazo a la línea de flotación de tus neuronas», según The New York Times Book Review . En 1942, Larence Pritchard Waterhouse, genio matemático y joven capitán de la Marina estadounidense, es asignado a colaborar con Bobby Shaftoe en una misión secreta que consiste en descifrar los códigos de las potencias del Eje. De este modo se pretende evitar que los nazis perciban que la Inteligencia aliada ha descubierto el sistema de cifrado de su mítico código Enigma. Sesenta años más tarde, Randy Waterhouse, brillante «criptohacker», proyecta la creación en el Sureste asiático de un paraíso de datos y el mayor exponente de la libertad informática: la Cripta. Cuando los gobiernos y las multinacionales atacan este proyecto, Randy se alía con Amy, la nieta de Shaftoe, para intentar rescatar un submarino nazi hundido en el que se encuentra la clave para mantener a flote el sueño de la Cripta. Su estratagema pronto saca a la luz una gigantesca conspiración y un código indescifrable llamado Aretusa. Y representa la aparición de un camino hacia un futuro de riqueza y libertad personal y digital... o tal vez hacia un universo en el que renazca el totalitarismo.

Mizora

Bison Frontiers of Imagination What would happen to our culture if men ceased to exist? Mary E. Bradley Lane explores this question in Mizora, the first known feminist utopian novel written by a woman. Vera Zarovitch is a Russian noblewoman -- heroic, outspoken, and determined. A political exile in Siberia, she escapes and flees north, eventually finding herself, adrift and exhausted, on a strange sea at the North Pole. Crossing a barrier of mist and brilliant light, Zarovitch is swept into the enchanted, inner world of Mizora. A haven of music, peace, universal education, and beneficial, advanced technology, Mizora is a world of women. Mizora appeared anonymously in the Cincinnati Commercial in 1880 and 1881. Mary E. Bradley Lane concealed from her husband her role in writing the controversial story. Introducing this Bison Frontiers of Imagination edition is Joan Saberhagen, coeditor of Pawn to Infinity and a member of the Very Small Array workshop, a group of science fiction writers in New Mexico.

Star Wars - Thrawn Trilogy - Heir to the Empire

#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • In this essential Star Wars Legends novel—the first ever to take place after the events of the original trilogy—Grand Admiral Thrawn makes his debut on the galactic stage. Five years ago, the Rebel Alliance destroyed the Death Star, defeated Darth Vader and the Emperor, and drove the remnants of the old Imperial Starfleet to a distant corner of the galaxy. Princess Leia and Han Solo are married and expecting twins. And Luke Skywalker has become the first in a long-awaited line of Jedi Knights. But thousands of light-years away, the last of the Emperor’s warlords, Grand Admiral Thrawn, has taken command of the shattered Imperial fleet, readied it for war, and pointed it at the fragile heart of the New Republic. For this dark warrior has made a vital discovery that could destroy everything the courageous men and women of the Rebel Alliance fought so hard to build.

The Second Deluge

In Garrett P. Serviss' 1911 novel "The Second Deluge," due to a cosmic mischance, no fewer than 30,000 feet of rain fall upon our fair planet in under one year...enough to effectively drown the entire world, past the tippy top of Mt. Everest itself! A wonderfully written novel that is fairly epic in scope, it is a sadly neglected apocalyptic work that is surely ripe for rediscovery in our modern-day era of climate change and rising coastal waters.

The Lost Continent

It is 2137. Two centuries ago, there was a war to end all wars. The Old World died and the New One was born. Everything is ordered and perfect. Just do not visit Europe! When the young commander Jefferson Turck suffers a sabotage, he discovers some disturbing and world-changing secrets. The action in "The Lost Continent" is relentless and Hollywood-like; the romance is familiar and melodramatic; while the anti-war social criticism is right on point. It is a gripping and fascinating tale and a great read for adventure fiction fans. Edgar Rice Burroughs (1875-1950) was an American author, best known for his novel ‘Tarzan of the Apes’ (1914) and its sequels as well as the Barsoom series. During World War II, he was one of the oldest U.S war correspondents. Tarzan and his adventures are loved by both young and old, and are evergreen classics. Many have watched at least one Tarzan tv series or movie with the most popular probably being the Disney animation film from 1999 and 'The Legend of Tarzan' from 2016 starring Alexander Skarsgård and Samuel L. Jackson.

The Long Dark Tea-Time of the Soul

Beloved, bumbling Detective Dirk Gently returns in this standalone novel from Douglas Adams, the legendary author of one of the most beloved science fiction novels of all time, The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy. When a check-in desk at London’s Heathrow Airport disappears in a ball of orange flame, the event is said to be an act of God. But which god? wonders holistic detective Dirk Gently. And how is this connected to Dirk’s battle with his cleaning lady over his filthy refrigerator…or to the murder of his latest client? Or are these events just another stretch of coincidences in the life of the world’s most off-kilter private investigator? Douglas Adams, “one of England’s top exporters of irreverence” (Chicago Tribune), continues the implausible adventures of supersleuth Dirk Gently in his quest to solve the mysteries of the universe.

Once he'd been a high-profile forensic anthropologist and all too familiar with the many faces of death, before tragedy made him abandon this previous life. Now the police want his help. But to become involved will stir up memories he's long tried to forget. Then a second woman disappears, plunging the close-knit community into a maelstrom of fear and paranoia.

Out of Time's Abyss

In "Out of Time's Abyss," Edgar Rice Burroughs delivers a gripping continuation of the Pellucidar series, masterfully blending elements of adventure, science fiction, and prehistoric fantasy. The narrative follows protagonist David Innes as he navigates the treacherous landscapes of a hollow Earth filled with prehistoric creatures and ancient civilizations, embodying Burroughs' penchant for imaginative world-building. The prose is dynamic and evocative, reflecting the dizzying pace of Innes' adventures, while also incorporating themes of survival and the indomitable human spirit within an exotic yet perilous setting. This novel illustrates the early 20th-century fascination with adventure and the exploration of uncharted territories, resonating with contemporary audiences drawn to escapism and the thrill of discovery. Edgar Rice Burroughs (1875-1950) was an American writer whose literary influences included the adventure tales of his youth and the burgeoning genres of science fiction and fantasy. His writing was heavily inspired by his own experiences and interests in exploration and the exotic, which are vividly echoed in the adventurous escapades of David Innes. Burroughs' work often reflects a longing for adventure and the unknown, themes that resonate deeply in "Out of Time's Abyss." Readers seeking a thrilling journey through time and space will find "Out of Time's Abyss" an exhilarating addition to their literary collection. Burroughs' ability to conjure vast, imaginative worlds and imbue them with vivid life makes this novel a compelling read. For both longtime fans of Burroughs and newcomers alike, this book is a testament to the timeless allure of adventure and the unyielding quest for knowledge.
