Eterna (Trilogía de la oscuridad 3)

release date: Dec 15, 2011
Eterna (Trilogía de la oscuridad 3)
Tras Nocturna y Oscura, por fin llega Eterna, el desenlace de «Trilogía de la Oscuridad». No es una coincidencia que el Invierno Nuclear (el oscurecimiento de la Tierra durante las 24 horas del día menos una, cuando hay luz solar) haya creado un ambiente casi perfecto para los vampiros. Ellos han ganado, tienen el control del planeta y los humanos han sido finalmente dominados, encerrados en vastos campos de concentración por el mundo donde, criados como vacas, ovejas o cerdos, son alimentados y «cosechados» para el mantenimiento y placer del Master. Una red desorganizada de humanos libres, constituida por gente común, entre ellos Eph, Zack, Vassily y Gus, continúa una desesperada resistencia, interrumpiendo el devastador nuevo orden del mundo y batallando contra los Señores Vampiros en todas las ocasiones posibles. Para ganar, tienen que confiar en la intervención de una inesperada raza de seres (quienes otorgan un nuevo sentido a la frase «ángeles y ministros de la gracia defiéndannos») quienes organizan a los humanos para la última batalla, la que recupere y rehabilite el planeta para toda la humanidad. Se juega con los sobrevivientes como si fueran peones en un juego del Bien y el Mal que tiene sus orígenes en los tiempos Bíblicos, y que requiere del sacrificio final de todos los implicados. Reseñas: «Las primeras cien páginas de Oscura eran un ejercicio sostenido de terror que mantenían al lector completamente embelesado y encantado, porque Del Toro y Hogan escriben con una autenticidad tan fresca tanto sobre lo fantástico (vampiros) como sobre lo completamente real (Nueva York, con todos sus extraños recovecos). Lo que comenzó en Oscura llega a su sublime y satisfactoria conclusión en Eterna... Los héroes de dimensiones trágicas no son habituales en la ficción popular, pero Goodweather reúne todos los requisitos. El diablo está en los detalles, y esta es una lectura endiabladamente buena cuajada de sustos muy logrados.» Stephen King «El más creíble y aterrador de todos los libros de vampiros de la última década.» San Francisco Chronicle

Guillermo del Toro, el visionari creador de l''oscaritzada El laberinto del fauno, i Chuck Hogan, guanyador d''un premi Hammett, fan ús de la seva extraordinària imaginació en aquesta novel·la èpica i audaç sobre una aterridora batalla entre homes i vampirs que amenaça a tota la humanitat. Es tracta de la primera entrega d''una apassionant sèrie, la Trilogia de la Foscor. Un avió procedent de Berlin aterra a Nova York. Però, des que pren terra, alguna cosa no va bé. Totes les llums de l''avió estan apagats, ningú respon a les trucades de la torre de control, ningú contesta als telèfons mòbils. Sembla com si l''avió estigués mort... El que al principi consideren un virus molt contagiós, aviat es revela com quelcom aterrador. Els «infectats» tenen molta sed i només volen beure... sang. L''epidèmia es propaga a una velocitat de vertigen, i al cap de pocs dies envaïx tota l''illa de Manhattan. Només és el començament. Hi ha un pla sinistre per conquerir ràpidament tot el planeta.Els vells vampirs han regressat. La lluita entre el bé i el mal torna a encarnar-se en aquestes criatures tan antigues com actuals. El combat desigual entre aquests éssers sobrenaturals i una patuleia d''herois humans ens arrossega a una història plena d''acció, aliances, traïcions i batalles que ens fan reflexionar sobre la condició humana, en la millor tradició de les pel·lícules del seu autor, Guillermo del Toro.

The Night Eternal

release date: Oct 25, 2011
The Night Eternal
“The most credible and frightening of all the vampire books of the past decade.” —San Francisco Chronicle “Bram Stoker meets Stephen King meets Michael Crichton. It just doesn’t get much better than this.” —Nelson DeMille The stunning New York Times bestselling vampire saga that author Dan Simmons (Drood, The Terror) calls, “an unholy spawn of I Am Legend out of ‘Salem’s Lot,” concludes with The Night Eternal. The magnificent, if monstrously warped brainchild of cinematic horror master Guillermo del Toro (Pan’s Labyrinth, Hellboy) and Chuck Hogan—whose novel Prince of Thieves, was praised as, “one of the 10 best books of the year” by Stephen King—The Night Eternal begins where The Strain and The Fall left off: with the last remnants of humankind enslaved by the vampire masters in a world forever shrouded by nuclear winter. Still, a small band of the living fights on in the shadows, in the final book of the ingenious dark fantasy trilogy that Newsweek says is, “good enough to make us break that vow to swear off vampire stories.”
