Institute
Myra, Senator Lawrence's eldest daughter, committed suicide in a classroom at the SAHISICA Boarding School (Sant Andrews of the Hills Institute for Self-Improvement and Catholic Achievements), of which little is known about its inner workings, except that the graduates are who will lead the United States in the next generation. Agent Hynreck of the FBI, a former legend of the agency, to the point of having been considered in his time to occupy the Directorship of the Bureau and now fallen into disgrace and alcoholism, will be summoned by an anonymous letter to be the one to unravel the mystery behind that a young woman who seemed to have it all took her life in such a spectacular way. The young and energetic Special Agent Henshaw in charge of Hynreck as his superior officer and babysitter, faces the double task of trying to unravel if behind the almost impossible death of the Sahisican inmate there is something more to investigate, and if Hynreck has something to do with it. On the other hand, two sects with the same goals and opposite methodologies, the Corpus Christi and the Templars, dispute the fate of the World Order as if it was on chess board.
The Club of the Prohibited
Poitiers, France, 1979 Edith Bonelli is the leading detective at the Bonelli Agency, yet the patriarchal standards of her profession in the late 70s have relegated her to the role of her father Stéfano's timid assistant, though he is internationally recognized. But two people have disappeared under dubious circumstances in Poitiers: Commissioner Dubois, one of the first Afro-descendants to hold such an important position, and the Mayor's son, both of whom are supposedly on the run, having left everything behind to chase after a young hippie. Poitiers represents a dark milestone in Edith's life: the pursuit of superficial and worldly happiness to heal the wounds of the Vietnam War, the desire to stop worrying about others and focus on herself... a daughter she conceived and knew from the moment she held her in her arms that she was the least capable mother in the world to give her a decent upbringing. A private hunting club near the city where she grew up seems to offer, for a high price and only to the very wealthy, all kinds of luxuries and excesses that society would scorn if they were exposed. Yet, the local police seem to turn a blind eye. Edith cannot afford that luxury.
Arioch - Lord of Chaos and Destruction
President Gardner has been assassinated, dismembered and his parts stone staked to one of the walls of the Oval Office, but unbelievably that grim scenario is not (nor even close to being) the worst threat facing the United States. An attack of biblical dimensions has wiped out more than a third of the population in the large-scale operation known as "The Day of the Raven." Yet America's weapons and response capabilities are 90% operational, and what's left of the government is asking: why? Who have bulldozed us to rubble but left our offensive responsiveness mostly intact? Who have been responsible? How is it possible that any defense or response system has failed? The satellites are taken,...
El almohadón de plumas y otros cuentos
El almohadón de plumas y otros cuentos de Horacio Quiroga es una breve selección de tres cuentos del escritor uruguayo: “El almohadón de plumas” (1917), “A la deriva” (1917) y “La lengua” (1921). “El almohadón de plumas” describe la lucha contra la enfermedad de una recién casada, acompañada de su marido, sus trabajadoras domésticas y los múltiples médicos que intentan sin éxito alguno explicar y aliviar el extraño padecimiento de la mujer. “A la deriva” narra la larga agonía de un hombre que es mordido en una selva alejada de la civilización; el hombre intenta con todas sus fuerzas luchar contra el veneno en un paisaje inhóspito que nos recuerda al Amazonas y a las selvas latinoamericanas poco exploradas en el siglo xix. “La lengua” es un cuento que narra la lucha de un hombre por conseguir venganza en contra de un viejo amigo, sin saber que el concretarla traerá para él consecuencias terribles.
