The Song of Bêlit
Conan travels aboard the Argus, a merchant ship from Messantia, when they are attacked by the Tigress, the ship of the pirate Bêlit. During the confrontation, the Cimmerian is ready to sell his life, but when the situation seems more desperate, Bêlit becomes infatuated with the barbarian and he becomes her lover. Thus begins "The Queen of the Black Coast", by Robert E. Howard. Using this story as a starting point, Rodolfo Martínez reconstructs the three years that Conan and Bêlit spent together, three years of thrilling adventures, blood and slaughter, of revenge and fulfilled prophecies, of enemies hidden in the shadows and unexpected allies, of cunning tricks and treacherous plans, but...
The Queen's Adept
The People's Covenant and God's Hammer have raged a Cold War that has lasted for over twenty years. A war without armies, where battles are fought in the dark and information is the most dangerous weapon. In this world —which sometimes seems the Middle Ages, sometimes the Renaissance and sometimes the Nineteenth Century— lives Yáxtor Brandan, empirical adept at the service of the Queen of Alboné. A relentless, amoral and unscrupulous character, Yáxtor fights to recover his own past as he tries to prevent a new player in the espionage game to end the world, as he knows it. A fascinating fast-moving and complex plot, full of tension and surprises and excellently paced; a main character ...

Sondela
Cuando la inspectora Patricia Campos acude a investigar la escena de un crimen descubre que la víctima es un fauno: cuernos en la frente, barbita lujuriosa de chivo, pezuñas en lugar de pies... Nada demasiado fuera de lo normal en la isla de Madeira, donde hay una amplia colonia atlante. Criaturas como faunos, centauros o dríadas circulan tranquilamente por las calles de Funchal, comen en sus restaurantes y viven en sus apartamentos. Y es que, desde que hace veinte años la Atlántida surgió de la nada (haciendo felices por un instante a cientos de miles de magufos y conspiranoicos) han cambiado muchas cosas en el mundo. No siempre para bien, piensa la inspectora Campos mientras trata de desentrañar el asesinato del fauno acompañada de un investigador atlante... que no siempre fue atlante. Juntos escudriñarán en algunos lugares oscuros de ambas sociedades y darán inicio a algo que nadie sabe muy bien cómo terminará. * * * En SONDELA, Rodolfo Martínez crea la que posiblemente es su novela más arriesgada y experimental y lleva su tendencia al mestizaje literario un paso más allá, mezclando géneros aparentemente irreconciliables como la ciencia ficción y la fantasía.
Cat's Whirld
Ignotus Award 1996, Best Novel English Translation by Steve Redwood The neutral Convergence Space Station No. 1, known as the Whirld, is the unofficial but deadly battleground in which several Galactic powers fight, by all means at their disposal, to obtain a certain piece of information that would inevitably determine their whole future. But then an all-powerful malevolent AI, for reasons known only to itself, also enters the game... Cat's Whirld, a book indispensable for understanding the evolution of Spanish science fiction, is an original fusion of thriller, cyberpunk, and space opera, with unforgettable characters, and a frenetic pace and rhythm that never falter; a hybrid novel in which elements from distinct genres make a surprisingly harmonious whole. Originally published in 1995, it was the first cyberpunk novel in Spanish; a specially remarkable achievement in that it was also the first of Rodolfo Martínez' many novels, and yet was not afraid to tread new ground, and, moreover, to do so with great narrative confidence. Twenty years later, the story still retains its power, as fresh and exciting as ever.

Guerrero
Fue la primera vez en la que realmente sentí que no quería soltar a mi papá, deseaba dejarlo ir, anhelaba que me repitiera que me quería muchas veces y que estaba orgulloso de mi, que todo iba a esta bien, que nunca me dejaría. El tiempo se detuvo, mi corazón palpitó sin control, todos se acercaron a mamá, la abrazan ella llora, mis tíos lloran y en ese instante a lo lejos logro captar lo que está decidiendo, leyendo en sus labios… es cáncer. “Un guerrero nace, un guerrero lucha, un guerrero vence” Fue otro de esos momentos impactantes, momentos que van picando poco a poco y cada vez más profundo en el corazón. Mi sobrino tan solo llevaba seis meses de edad y también lucharía por su vida.
Tom Sawyer detective
CUANDO SE HA ELIMINADO LO IMPOSIBLE... Aunque menos conocida que su hermana mayor Las aventuras de Tom Sawyer, esta novela corta es una muestra perfecta del relampagueante talento narrativo de Mark Twain. De ritmo vivaz, peripecia fácil, personajes rápidamemente delineados y trama adornada por el habitual humor socarrón de Twain, Tom Sawyer detective es un policiaco clásico de factura impecable. Influida sin duda por la obra de Conan Doyle, en ella Tom se muestra como un detective deductivo de primer orden, acompañado de su fiel Huk Finn, que ejercerá con entusiasmo el papel de doctor Watson, narrando la historia y asistiendo asombrado, como corresponde, a las portentosas capacidades deductivas de su amigo.
The Wisdom of the Dead
"You have heard me say many times, Watson, that when the impossible has been eliminated, what remains, however unlikely it may seem, is the truth. But what happens when the impossible cannot be eliminated?" London, 1895. While investigating a case of potential identity theft, Sherlock Holmes finds himself in the middle of a war between the Egyptian Fremasonry and the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn for the possession of the ultimate grimoire, the Al Azif, the Book of Dead Names, the infamous Necronomicon itself... "I do not know what readers might think when they finish these pages," claims Dr. Watson. "There is a lot in this story that seems incredible, unlikely, as it seemed to me at the time. I have told you what I witnessed, without distortion or concealment. Whether what Holmes and I saw and heard was true or not is for you to decide." Rodolfo Martinez brings together two of the greatest literary myths of all time: the Baker Street detective and the misanthropist from Providence. The outcame is a fascinating adventure whose roots are at the very core of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's and H. P. Lovecraft's creations.
