Aquí os dejo la sinopsis:

Taken from his home village, the centaur Fino finds himself enslaved and shipped to a new land, where he must learn to cope with the trainer determined to break him. This short story originally appeared in Realms of Fantasy and is reprinted in the short story collection Eyes Like Sky and Coal and Moonlight.

Find out why Endeavour, Nebula, and World Fantasy Award nominated Cat Rambo’s been called one of the strongest storytellers in a generation of speculative fiction writers. Her emotionally rich stories play out against worlds that are evocative, imaginative, and beautifully but economically realized.

In the Tales of Tabat series, Rambo explores a fantasy world where intelligent magical creatures co-exist uneasily with human beings in a social order on the verge of upheaval. These short stories provide additional insights into the world of Tabat as featured in Rambo’s first novel, Beasts of Tabat.

Libro gratis : Dark water’s embrace

DWE-FrontCover250pxDurante el mes de marzo está disponible para su descarga gratuita el libro Dark water’s embrace, de Stephen Leigh.

Aquí os pongo la sinopsis:

Often compared to Ursula K. Le Guin’s ground-breaking The Left Hand of Darkness, Dark Water’s Embrace is a fascinating look at issues of human (and alien) sexuality. Stephen Leigh creates a rich world with elaborate care and uses this alien backdrop to delve into issues of survival, sexuality and the meaning of life itself.

On the planet Mictlan, a small colony of stranded humans struggles to survive despite a diminishing birthrate and a high incidence of physical abnormalities. The cultural conflict engendered by the discovery of the mummified corpse of Mictlan’s now extinct former inhabitants forces the human community to reshape its moral principles to accommodate a bold & troubling solution to their problems.

Libros gratis : London Revenant y Head Injuries

En estos momentos se pueden descargar de forma gratuita London Revenant y Head Injuries, dos obras de Conrad Williams.

Aquí tenéis las sinopsis:

London Revenant

A madman is pushing people under Tube trains…

Adam Buckley thinks he knows who it is, but has problems of his own to deal with. Damaged from a recent break-up, his narcolepsy worsening, he learns that his friends have become suicidally obsessed with finding insane, unexplored parts of London.

He glimpses figures in the subterranean gloom, half recognised faces at parties to which he can’t recall being invited, indications of a life lived yet never remembered. As his confusion deepens, so too does the threat of violence. In peeling back so many of the city’s faces, he fears that the skull beneath the skin might well be known to him.

Head Injuries

David has been summoned to Morecambe, a place he hoped he’d never see again. It’s winter and the English seaside town is dead. David knows exactly how it feels.

Empty for as long as he can remember, he depends too much on a past filled with the excitements of drink, drugs, and emotionless sex. The friends – Helen and Seamus – who sustained him are here now, and together they aim to pinpoint the source of the violence that has suddenly exploded into their lives.

They drive each other further into a territory of fear, suspicion, and threat as old bitternesses are rekindled, ancient haunts are revisited.

The phantoms of the past are coalescing and something is coming home to roost.
