153,95 kr. Se trataba de un secreto de su pasado amnésico que ni siquiera su analista de N. Y. era capaz de descifrar, lo que significaba que tenía que ir a México en busca de respuestas, específicamente a un pueblo fantasma en la Sierra Madre, infestada de bandidos, donde su madre lo esperaba en el único hotel del pueblo. En lo recóndito de la Sierra Madre, tras un túnel tallado a través de la cima de una montaña, una de las cinco que rodeaban el lugar como los dedos de una mano, está el pueblo fantasma más extraño de México. Hay un hotel, administrado por una asesina en serie, y justo cruzando la calle, una cantina, administrada por el banquero de un narco-cartel. El pueblo fue fundado en 1495, cuando una banda de conquistadores que, tras la caída de Tenochtitlán, habían estado cazando en las montañas a los últimos guerreros águila aztecas, encontraron plata en las cenizas del fuego de la noche anterior. Eran trece conquistadores, cuyos descendientes gobernaron el pueblo por cuatrocientos años, el más rico de México en su momento, con una tesorería, una casa de moneda, incluso una ópera y por supuesto una catedral, hasta que Pancho Villa y su División del Norte tomaron el pueblo en 1914 y fusilaron a los descendientes de los conquistadores, quienes se llevaron a la tumba la locación del tesoro secreto. Terminada la Revolución, una serie de aventureros, atraídos por la leyenda del Tesoro de la Sierra Madre (algunos decían que había trece tesoros), dinamitó la mayoría de los edificios del pueblo medieval-pero del tesoro, o tesoros, nada nunca se supo. Los nahuas de las remotas montañas piensan que jamás se sabrá, pues es propiedad del Señor de la Muerte, rey del Mictlán, y quien descubra su locación será llevado a uno de los nueve niveles del vasto reino, que yace bajo las minas de plata sepultadas en las montañas. Esta es la historia de una búsqueda de respuestas, entre las cuales está lo que le pasó a un obispo deshonrado, un maldito cabalista enormemente rico, que partió al Mictlán con el secreto de los tesoros, a donde su hijo bastardo tiene que ir, si es que quiere descifrar los enigmas de su pasado amnésico.

163,95 kr. The unlikeliest duo you'll encounter within the covers of a book or otherwise, Lobo and Frankie are the natural successors to Don Juan, and Carlos Castaneda, with a pinch of Laurel and Hardy for good measure.Lobo is a Swiss-Tibetan-playboy-mystic, who believes that Frank is the Chosen One. A pity then that the Chosen One should turn out to be a lazy, dirty mouthed Scotsman with as much mental clarity as a guinea pig, but Lobo is not deterred.Together they blaze an unstoppable trail across an unsuspecting Australia, in a pristine white falcon UTE - cruising the highways, sneaking the byways, and siphoning off gas pretty much everywhere.

108,95 kr. Britain over the last hundred years, through the eyes of an Anglo-Scots family of dubious lineage, featuring the illusions and obsessions of three generations of the Lutchens, woven together in a genealogical tree rooted in a Scotland which we only thought we knew. Starting in the swinging sixties as the Beatles' first single tops the charts and the Cuban Crisis looms, the narrative tracks back through two world wars to uncover a skeleton in the family closet, before proceeding full circle, to when a national crisis threatens to break-up the disunited family. Will the Lutchens go their separate ways, or patch up their differences? Everything hangs in the balance for the family, and also the British nation state.

173,95 kr. The XREAL Series is set against the backdrop of what we all know is coming.Five stories about a poor dupe who could be any one of us, his lover, and the richest man in the world. They're bound together in a triangle of hell, which draws in the great players of the Age and those who loathe them, into a world there is no escaping.THE ITERATION - BOOK 1 CLIMATE EMERGENCY, DAY1023 and counting...>Two such inmates, Jake and Carrie, lovers and cellmates, are on the brink of suffocation-induced loathing. And while Jake, tired of virtual FakeReal worlds and distant calls with distant friends, breaks the curfew to escape Carrie and climbs to the roof of the Pierspoint for the chance to catch a patch of blue above the smog, Carrie is looking elsewhere for companionship, as she virtually invites a virtual stranger into her very real home.And unbeknownst to her, he is the man who bought the world and sold it for scrap.He is Julius Adamos Kyriku.>And he'll do what he always does, for pennies on the dime. PROMETHEUZ - BOOK 2 of the XREAL Series. Pulled from his apartment in the Pierspoint Building, Jake Cousins has been cast down into the prison-like subs of his own design, while far above, Julius Adamos Kyriku (better known to all as Fatberg, the world's richest man) lifts the love of Jake's life up and away, above the smog of the world, in a ship fit for his queen. It'd be too much for any man to take - but then Jake isn't just a man anymore. Not only is he to be squeezed, uncomfortably, into the role of rebooted Olympian for the entertainment of the locked-away masses, but there's another Jake out there in the world, unseen. And through the luminous fibres that thread this locked down world, Jake2 sees it all, and plays his long game ...
