He's rich, bad-tempered — and big trouble!<
Desde tiempos inmemoriales, los clanes de las brujas Omar han vivido ocultándose de las sanguinarias brujas Odish y esperando la llegada de la elegida por la profecía. Ahora los astros confirman que el tiempo está próximo.
Anaíd, que ha vivido durante sus catorce años de vida apartada en un pueblo del Pirineo, ignora los secretos que atañen a las mujeres de su familia… Hasta que la misteriosa desaparición de su madre, Selene la pelirroja, la enfrenta a una verdad tan escalofriante como increíble y la obliga a recorrer un largo camino cuajado de peligros y descubrimientos.

Anaíd debe descender al mundo de los muertos, pero para ello debe irse de Urt, dejando atrás a sus nuevos amigos y a Roc. Se va de viaje con su madre, que le contará toda la historia anterior a su nacimiento: cómo conoció a su padre y todo lo que tuvo que pasar para librarse de la poderosa y sanguinaria Odish que la perseguía: Baalat.<
La guerra de las brujas está próxima y la elegida no puede posponer más el momento de empuñar el cetro y destruir a las temibles Odish. Pero Anaíd, que anhela el amor de Roc y del padre que nunca tuvo, que confía en llevar la paz definitiva a las Omar, tendrá que enfrentarse a la traición, al rechazo de los suyos y a la soledad. La maldición de Odi se ha cumplido: la elegida ha incurrido en los errores, ha sucumbido al poder del cetro y hasta los muertos reclaman su tributo. Es el momento de la verdad, de la batalla definitiva entre Omar y Odish.<

A team of drillers, scientists and archaeologists led by a billionaire industrialist travel to Antarctica to investigate ancient pyramid ruins where they not only discover terrorized human skeletons among the fossilized remains of these alien creatures, but they also find further evidence that these aliens are still alive! As if that’s not frightening enough, vicious Predators lay in wait above for the release of these aliens from the centuries-old ice in which they’ve been preserved! Thus begins the show-down between two of the greatest film horrors of all time.

The plague first sailed into San Francisco on the steamer , on the day after New Year’s in 1900. Though the ship passed inspection, some of her stowaways—infected rats—escaped detection and made their way into the city’s sewer system. Two months later, the first human case of bubonic plague surfaced in Chinatown.
Initially in charge of the government’s response was Quarantine Officer Dr. Joseph Kinyoun. An intellectually astute but autocratic scientist, Kinyoun lacked the diplomatic skill to manage the public health crisis successfully. He correctly diagnosed the plague, but because of his quarantine efforts, he was branded an alarmist and a racist, and was forced from his post. When a second epidemic erupted five years later, the more self-possessed and charming Dr. Rupert Blue was placed in command. He won the trust of San Franciscans by shifting the government’s attack on the plague from the cool remove of the laboratory onto the streets, among the people it affected. Blue preached sanitation to contain the disease, but it was only when he focused his attack on the newly discovered source of the plague, infected rats and their fleas, that he finally eradicated it—truly one of the great, if little known, triumphs in American public health history.
With stunning narrative immediacy fortified by rich research, Marilyn Chase transports us to the city during the late Victorian age—a roiling melting pot of races and cultures that, nearly destroyed by an earthquake, was reborn, thanks in no small part to Rupert Blue and his motley band of pied pipers.
