Desvelada la portada de War Cry

Ya sabemos cuál será la portada de War Cry, la novella de Brian McClellan que publicará Tor.com y que tiene una pinta más que interesante, aunque se sale un poco de lo que nos tiene acostumbrados con su universo Powder Mage.

El propio autor lo define como un mundo fantástico con aires de la Segunda Guerra Mundial y en la portada hay TANQUES.

La sinopsis es esta:

Teado is a Changer, a shape-shifting military asset trained to win wars. His platoon has been stationed in the Bavares high plains for years, stranded. As they ration supplies and scan the airwaves for news, any news, their numbers dwindle. He’s not sure how much time they have left.

Desperate and starving, armed with aging, faulting equipment, the team jumps at the chance for a risky resupply mission, even if it means not all of them might come. What they discover could change the course of the war.

La portada es obra de Richard Anderson con dseño de Christine Foltzer.

War Cry se publicará el 28 de agosto.

Now she strides in the Masquerade’s halls of power. To save the world, she must tear it asunder…and with it, all that remains of her soul.

Portada de The Labyrinth Index

Ya tenemos aquí la que será portada de la nueva entrega de The Laundry Files de Charles Stross. Tendrá como nombre The Labyrinth Index y ha sido diseñada por Crush Creative y Ellen Rockell. Esta novela va a ser la novena entrega de la serie y trae una sinopsis suculenta:

Britain is under New Management. The disbanding of the Laundry – the British espionage agency that deals with supernatural threats, has culminated in the unthinkable – an elder god in residence in 10 Downing Street.
But in true ‘the enemy of my enemy’ fashion, Mhairi Murphy finds herself working with His Excellency Nylarlathotep on foreign policy – there are worse things, it seems, than an elder god in power, and they lie in deepest, darkest America.
A thousand-mile-wide storm system has blanketed the midwest, and the president is nowhere to be found – Mhari must lead a task force of disgraced Laundry personnel into the storm front to discover the truth. But working for an elder god is never easy, and as the stakes rise, Mhari will soon question exactly where her loyalties really lie.

Aquí la sinopsis:

In these sixteen exquisite stories Kat Howard deftly weaves in and out of the countries of myth and hagiography to write the lives of women untold and unexplored.

A woman being written into her boyfriend’s fiction is at first flattered to be his muse, but then finds her real life literally consumed and overtaken by his. A desperate young woman makes a prayer to the Saint of Sidewalks, but the miracle she receives isn’t what she expected. A painter spies a naked man, crouched by the Cathedral of St. John the Divine, transform into a beautiful white bird and decides to paint him, and becomes involved in his curse. Jeanne, a duelist and a sacred blade for God and Her holy saints, finds that the price of truth is always blood. And in the novella “Once, Future” Howard reimagines the Arthurian romance on a modern college campus as a story that is told, and told again, until the ending is right.

Mundane and magical, profane and reverent, romantic and uncompromising, A Cathedral of Myth and Bone journeys into the liminal spaces of contemporary fiction and unfurls them.

Portada de City of Ghosts

Ya tenemos aquí la portada de City of Ghosts, el nuevo libro de Victoria Schwab. Dentro de su línea habitual con este nombre, se trata de una obra YA.

Esta es la sinopsis:

Cassidy Blake’s parents are The Inspectres, a (somewhat inept) ghost-hunting team. But Cass herself can REALLY see ghosts. In fact, her best friend, Jacob, just happens to be one.

When The Inspectres head to ultra-haunted Edinburgh, Scotland, for their new TV show, Cass—and Jacob—come along. In Scotland, Cass is surrounded by ghosts, not all of them friendly. Then she meets Lara, a girl who can also see the dead. But Lara tells Cassidy that as an In-betweener, their job is to send ghosts permanently beyond the Veil. Cass isn’t sure about her new mission, but she does know the sinister Red Raven haunting the city doesn’t belong in her world. Cassidy’s powers will draw her into an epic fight that stretches through the worlds of the living and the dead, in order to save herself.

Nueva novella de Adrian Tchaikovsky

Poco a poco, me voy volviendo adicta al trabajo de Adrian Tchaikovsky, así que siempre es una buena noticia la publicación de algo nuevo por su parte. Pero si además viene de la mano de Tor.com y es de ciencia ficción, la alegría es mayor.

El 17 de julio se publicará The Expert System’s Brother, con esta estupenda portada, obra de Raphael Lacoste; diseñado por Christine Foltzer.

A distant planet. A game turned sour. A technological fight for survival.

After an unfortunate accident, Handry is forced to wander a world he doesn’t understand, searching for meaning. He soon discovers that the life he thought he knew is far stranger than he could even possibly imagine.

Can an unlikely saviour provide the answers to the questions he barely comprehends?
