The Lost Fountains
The world known as reality and a world of shadows, nightmares, and horror converge in this graphic novel adaptation of José Antonio Cotrina's dark fantasy novel. Delano Grey survives the best he can, living halfway between two worlds. He earns his living as an adventurer for hire, accepting any assignment, no matter the risk, as long as the pay is good. But he is not who he appears to be. His past as a tortured prisoner has turned him into a lost and weakened man, struggling to find the courage to seek vengeance. His journey begins with the search for the Lost Fountains, a place of legend, said to harness great power—where wishes, no matter the intent, are fulfilled. Enter a world of fallen gods, deadly magic and monsters, and reveal the true darkness that lies beyond and within.

Maginot
Escalofriante, sensible, profunda y aterradora, Maginot es la prueba viva de que el terror no está reñido con la calidad literaria. Nos narra la historia de un comunista que huye de la Guerra Civil Española para acabar enfrentándose a una pesadilla mucho peor; una pesadilla que anida bajo tierra, hambrienta, repugnante y negra como todo el siglo XX. Alfredo Álamo se ha consolidado con los años como uno de los valores señeros de la literatura de género en español de la actualidad. Ganador de hasta 9 premios Ignotus en diferentes categorías, hace tiempo que ha dejado de ser una promesa literaria. Ahora se conforma con ser un autor imprescindible.
Blood of Noble Men
The Alamo and its defenders, according to historian Stephen L. Hardin, transcended mere history; both entered the realm of myth. Indeed, the siege and battle of the Alamo serves today as a definition of American character. The date of March 6, 1836, is forever ensconced in the annals of history. But what happened in the twelve days leading up to the final battle of March 6? And did events transpire in the final battle as history has led us to believe? As Hardin stated in the foreword for this book, Myth has so shrouded every aspect of the Alamo story that it becomes hard to separate the factual from the fanciful. Understand and appreciate the myth. Understand and appreciate the historical re...

The Alamo Story
First published in 2000, J. R. Edmondson's The Alamo Story: From Early History to Current Conflicts thoroughly examines the famous "Shrine of Texas Liberty" from its origin as a Spanish New World mission to its modern status. It has been lauded as the “best" and "most readable” of all historical accounts devoted to the legendary mission-fortress. The original edition has been celebrated for over twenty years for its comprehensive approach to Alamo scholarship and for presenting the famous battle in the context of both American and Mexican history. This second edition of The Alamo Story includes new information about the battle and those involved, including expanded stories on the roles of minorities and some illustrations by noted artist Mark Lemon. The book also features a new chapter on Benjamin Rush Milam's assault on San Antonio with only three hundred Texians, the battle that set the stage for the siege of the Alamo less than three months later. And there is an extensive epilogue on the present-day conflicts about the physical Alamo compound, as historic preservationists clash with political and popular opinions in San Antonio.

Exodus from the Alamo
The award-winning historian provides a provocative new analysis of the Battle of the Alamo—including new information on the fate of Davy Crockett. Contrary to legend, we now know that the defenders of the Alamo during the Texan Revolution died in a merciless predawn attack by Mexican soldiers. With extensive research into recently discovered Mexican accounts, as well as forensic evidence, historian Phillip Tucker sheds new light on the famous battle, contending that the traditional myth is even more off-base than we thought. In a startling revelation, Tucker uncovers that the primary fights took place on the plain outside the fort. While a number of the Alamo’s defenders hung on inside, ...
