Paperback. Zustand: Good. Part human and part robot, private investigator Bruna Husky has been hired to locate a stolen diamond. But as Bruna?s leads start to drop dead, her case becomes about much more than a stolen gem?and much more dangerous. Traversing the galaxy, Bruna races against the clock to uncover a nuclear power conspiracy that threatens all sentient beings.Traveling from a distant planet populated by an extreme religious sect to landscapes destroyed by rising sea levels, Bruna tries to solve the puzzle of why so many people around her are suffering from toxic radiation.

Paperback. Zustand: Good. Death is inevitable. Especially when you have an expiration date. As a replicant, or ?techno-human,? Detective Bruna Husky knows two things: humans bioengineered her to perform dangerous, undesirable tasks; and she has just ten years on the United States of Earth before her body automatically self-destructs. But with ?anti-techno? rage on the rise and a rash of premature deaths striking her fellow replicants, she may have even less time than she originally thought. Investigating the mysterious deaths, Bruna delves into the fractious, violent history shared by humans and replicants, and struggles to engage the society that fails to understand her?yet created her. The deeper she gets, the deadlier her work becomes as she uncovers a vast, terrifying conspiracy bent on changing the very course of the world. But even as the darkness of her reality closes in, Bruna clings fiercely to life.…

Zustand: Very Good. Vuelve Rosa Montero con La carne, una intriga emocional que nos habla del paso del tiempo, del miedo a la muerte, del fracaso pero también de la esperanza, de la necesidad de amar y de la gloriosa tiranía del sexo, de la vida entendida como un lance fugaz en el que devorar o ser devorado. «Al final todo acaba por desembocar en el amor. Y en el daño.» Una noche de ópera, Soledad contrata a un gigoló para que la acompañe a la función y así poder dar celos a un examante. Pero un suceso violento e imprevisto lo complica todo y marca el inicio de una relación inquietante, volcánica y tal vez peligrosa. Ella tiene sesenta años; el gigoló, treinta y dos. Desde el humor, pero también desde la rabia y la desesperación de quien se rebela contra los estragos del tiempo, el relato de la vida de Soledad se entreteje con las historias de los escritores malditos de la exposición que está organizando para la Biblioteca Nacional. La carne es una novela audaz y sorprendente, la más libre y personal de las que ha escrito Rosa Montero. Ganadora, entre otros, del Premio Primavera de Novela, el Premio Grinzane Cavour, El Premio Qué Leer al Mejor Libro del Año y el Premio de la Crítica de Madrid. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION Rosa Montero is back with a story of love, sex, and heartbreak. Soledad has decided to take revenge on her last lover, who has just left her. Through a social networking site, she hires a man to pass for her boyfriend during a night at the opera: Adam, an attractive Russian almost thirty years her junior, with whom she will start a passionate and perhaps dangerous relationship, while she prepares an exposition for the National Library dedicated to damned writers whose lives are a testimony to the rage and glory of passion, to the wound of time and the fear of failure. Because that's what this book is about: life understood as a fleeting turning point in which you must eat or be eaten.…
