Dark Angel: After the dark, Max Allan Collins

In a chaotic world where the lines between good and evil often blur, and violent anarchy and brutal repression become commonplace, secrets can be deadly. So when Max discovers a shattering truth that Logan has kept concealed from her for years, the betrayal threatens the very essence of their trust.

Yet when Logan is kidnapped, all questions of truth and loyalty are cast aside. Max’s search will lead her to a familiar, menacing enemy—and back into the shadow of the Snake Cult, which waits for her with chilling anticipation.

But the search will also lead her into wholly unexpected territory. Locked in the fight of her life, Max will discover a captive of the cult who can provide her with the one thing that has haunted her ever since she escaped from Manticore.

Dark Angel: Skin Game, Max Allan Collins

Someone is killing normal humans in the fog-enshrouded city of Seattle. The murders are brutal and grisly, but inside Terminal City they barely cause a ripple of concern. The transgenics who live there have problems of their own. In an area under siege by the oppressive arm of the police, the transgenics must protect their fledgling colony against the outside world—a world that eyes them with contempt and suspicion . . . and will do anything to be rid of them.

As the killings escalate, Joshua comes to Max with a dire suspicion: the killer may be one of their own. Tensions are high between normal humans and transgenics, and many inside the protected City would just as soon let the humans fend for themselves. Yet Max and her inner circle know they must investigate the crimes and stop the bloodshed. Doing nothing would simply give the normals more reasons to hate.

But what they discover will shock even the most jaded among them—and expose a sinister agenda that leads to an old, nefarious foe. . . .

El silencio se mueve, Fernando Marías


Un hombre. Un extraño don. Los dibujos de una chica que desaparece sin desaparecer. Un mensaje por descifrar. Alguien debe desvelar el secreto. La información está a su alcance: un cómic del que solo hay un ejemplar, algunas páginas web, recortes de periódico, varios libros de aventuras... Este es el último libro de Fernando Marías. O eso dice él. Porque puede que sea un novela o puede que no.

Puede que lo aquí se cuenta sea real o el fruto de la imaginación del autor... o de la tuya. Quizá Fernando se haya inventado esta historia o quizá sea el resultado de una minuciosa investigación por su parte. Solo él lo sabe. Y tú si sabes buscar.

Lo que sí es cierto es que en esta novela (si es que lo es) hay una honda reflexión sobre el amor, la verdad, la culpa y la muerte. El silencio se mueve, una obra de intriga y misterio escrita por Fernando Marías, es la primera novela transmedia que se publica en España.
