    El torque de oro

    Julian May

    "Una de las más extraordinarias sagas de ciencia ficción que se han escrito". (Peter F. Hamilton) «Una saga hechizante y absorbente de punta a punta». (Fritz Leiber) «Es uno de los futuros mejor pensados de la historia de la ciencia ficción». (Joe W. Haldeman) "Consideré al instante a La Tierra Multicolor como un clásico. Estoy muy contento por poder decir que El torque Oro es una digna sucesora. El concepto es escandalosamente original. Alcanza un clímax que, como mínimo, es de escala wagneriana". (Baird Scarlcs – Isaac Asimov's Science Fiction Magazine) Segundo volumen de la saga del Exilio en el Plioceno y continuación de La Tierra Multicolor, novela ganadora del premio Locus a la mejor novela de ciencia ficción, y finalista de los premios Hugo, Nébula, Prometheus y Fantasía Mitopoética de literatura adulta. No debemos contar más. Hacer espoiler de maravillas como el libro que tienes en tus manos está tipificado como delito literario.

    Julian May

    Ganadora del premio Locus a la mejor novela de ciencia ficción. Finalista de los premios Hugo, Nébula, Prometheus y Fantasía mitopoética de literatura adulta. Los sujetos más inadaptados y problemáticos de cada rincón del armonioso Medio Galáctico son exiliados al Plioceno. Otros muchos se exilian por propia voluntad. Al plioceno se puede viajar gracias al extravagante invento de Theo Guderian, ubicado en L'Auberge du Portail, regido por Madame Guderian. Pero es un viaje de ida, de ninguna manera se puede volver. Un paleontólogo retirado, una peculiar monja, una joven atleta de élite, un capitán de carguero espacial, un nórdico berserker, una psico-redactora a distancia, un antropólogo y un peligroso granuja encantador se exilian al Plioceno. Todos esperan empezar una nueva vida en ese paraíso de hace seis millones de años.

    Sorcerer’s Moon: Part Three of the Boreal Moon Tale

    Julian May

    The stunning conclusion to a powerful epic fantasy from the worldwide bestselling author of the Saga of the Pliocene Exile.For sixteen years King Conrig Ironcrown has ruled High Blenholme, battling both to preserve the Sovereignty he ruthlessly established over the four provinces of the island kingdom and to repel the invading Salka monsters that threaten them all. His hope for the future is his heir, Prince Orrion, whose betrothal to a princess of the province of Didion should assure the future peace of High Blenholme. But Orrion has no interest in the girl, and is determined to marry instead his childhood sweetheart, Lady Nyla.Orrion's madcap twin, Corodon, dreams up a scheme to keep Orry and Nyla together by asking the supernatural Beaconfolk, who appear as lights in the sky, for a magical intercession. The twins are unaware that the Beaconfolk are fighting their own battle with others of their kind; to them all humans, even princes, are but pawns to be used in their own conflict. Their granting of Orrion's wish comes in a manner the twins far from expected, and precipitates chaotic infighting amongst the folk of High Blenholme.As battles rage both on the ground and in the sky, the only hopes for peace can be found deep in King Conrig’s murky past. His former spy, Deveron Austrey, has secret magical powers and no love for the Beaconfolk. And while many of his subjects no longer remember the King's first wife, Maudrayne, she has never forgotten that her son is the true heir to the throne of High Blenholme.

    A powerful fantasy adventure filled with dark magic and deadly intrigue, from the worldwide bestselling author of the Saga of the Pliocene Exile.Conrig Wincantor, Prince Heritor of Cathra, has a vision: to unite the whole island of High Blenholme under Cathran sovereignty.He has so far been thwarted in this ambition by his cautious, aging father, King Olmigon, who, though weak with illness, still clings firmly to the reigns of the government.Now Conrig has hit upon a scheme that will convince the Lords that his plan can suceed. He has formed an alliance with Ullanoth, princess of the remote northern province of Moss and a fearsome sorceress. With her help his army will have the advantage it needs to subdue the only domain refusing to sign his Edict of Sovereignty.But before Olmigon will give his consent he insists on making a pilgrimage to the Oracle of Emperor Bazekoy, there to ask the one question permitted to a dying monarch, which the Emperor must answer truthfully.Meanwhile, Ullanoth tends her own schemes. Posessing the talent to call on the unearthly powers of the Beaconfolk, mysterious otherworldy beings who appear as lights in the sky, her power is undeniable. But the Lights are fickle, and their interference in human affairs unpredictable. If Ullanoth calls on them to help Conrig, they are likely to extract an unforeseeable price.
