Audiolibro gratis : The Dispatcher

En este enlace se puede descargar de forma gratuita el audiolibro The Dispatcher de John Scalzi, narrado por Zachary Quinto.

Esta es la sinopsis:

One day, not long from now, it becomes almost impossible to murder anyone – 999 times out of a thousand, anyone who is intentionally killed comes back. How? We don’t know. But it changes everything: war, crime, daily life.
Tony Valdez is a Dispatcher – a licensed, bonded professional whose job is to humanely dispatch those whose circumstances put them in death’s crosshairs, so they can have a second chance to avoid the reaper. But when a fellow Dispatcher and former friend is apparently kidnapped, Tony learns that there are some things that are worse than death and that some people are ready to do almost anything to avenge a supposed wrong.
It’s a race against time for Valdez to find his friend before it’s too late…before not even a Dispatcher can save him.

Ebook gratis : Beyond the door of death

BeyondEn la modalidad de paga lo que quieras, incluso nada, este mes podemos conseguir Beyond the door of death, de Robert Silverberg y Damien Broderick.

Esta es su sinopsis:

“Born With the Dead” (the novella) was nominated for every major science fiction award when it was originally published in 1974, winning the Nebula and Locus awards.

The story describes a future in which the dead can be “re-kindled” back to a new form of life. While they remember their pasts thought, their personalities are subtly shifted and the ordinary concerns and feelings of their original life no longer concern them.

The author now revisits the classic story with Australian author Damien Broderick. Broderick uses Robert Silverberg’s original novella as a starting point for a brilliant leap into the far future, widening the scope and tenor of the original story by revisiting some of its subtler implications.

Libro gratis : Wishing on a star

WishingLa oferta de este mes de Phoenix Pick Book es Wishing on a star de Jody Lynn Nye y Angelina Adams. La modalidad es paga-lo-que-quieras incluso 0.

Aquí tenéis la sinopsis:

Pop goddess Selane has made some bad choices in her life on her road to success. All of her past connections have dropped her and she’s desperately trying to get them (and her reputation) back.

While running a charity telethon for a debilitating children’s disease, Selane discovers a remarkable girl during a broadcast – a real genie – and suddenly the solution to all of her problems is standing right in front of her.

But finding a genie is one thing…making wishes that count, is something else—particularly when the genie is a clueless teenager from California.

Maybe Ray, a fairy godmother, and the local 26-3 chapter of The Fairy Godmothers’ Union can help.

Angelina Adams’ companion piece follows the young genie, Vickie, as she travels to New Mexico. On her journey, a whole new host of characters befriend her, including Raj Chandra, a senior genie in the Demons, Djinni and Efreets Guild, and Indira, whose jealousy is bound to cause even more prob¬lems for the teenage wish granter.
