"La fiesta de los Jacks aborda" de nuevo los aspectos más sórdidos y míseros de la sociedad, enfrentados esta vez a las diversiones, lujo y riqueza de la clase alta. De estilo kafkiano, Wolfe logra en ambas narraciones trazar el perfil de la realidad de su tiempo. Thomas Clayton Wolfe fue un novelista americano prolífico en la década de los años 20. Escribió cuatro novelas largas además de muchísimos relatos cortos. Sus obras se caracterizan por mezclar poesía con prosa, por ser ficción histórica e incluso en ocasión ficción biográfica.

Este realto provocó la prohibición de las obras de Wolfe en la Alemania hitleriana. En él, el autor nos muestra crudamente el drama de los perseguidos e inadaptados en una sociedad controlada por la burocracia oficial.

Journeying aboard the generational starship The Whorl, the young priest Patera Silk becomes a prophet and revolutionary as he questions his faith while confronting a crime lord in a saga where "[Wolfe] continues to prove himself one of the genre's most literate writers and luminescent thinkers" (Library Journal).

The two novels combined in this omnibus (Caldé of the Long Sun and Exodus from the Long Sun) comprise the second half of Gene Wolfe's series The Book of the Long Sun.

It is the far future, and the giant spaceship The Whorl has traveled for forgotten generations toward its destination. Lit inside by the artificial Long Sun, The Whorl is so huge that whole cities can be seen in the sky. And the gods of The Whorl have begun to intervene in human affairs. An entirely unexpected future awaits as Patera Silk and the other inhabitants are confronted with the world of an alien race.

It is the far future, and the giant spaceship The Whorl has travelled for forgotten generations toward its destination. Lit inside by the artificial Long Sun, The Whorl is so huge that you can see whole cities in the sky. And now the gods of The Whorl begin to intervene in human affairs. A god speaks to Patera Silk, a clergyman at work in the schoolyard of his church. Silk must go on a quest to save his church and his people.

Life on The Whorl, and the struggles and triumphs of Patera Silk to satisfy the demands of the gods, will captivate listeners yearning for something new and different in science fiction, for the magic of the future. Enormous in breadth and scope, Wolfe's ambitious new work opens out into a world of wonders, of gods and humans, aliens and machines, and mysterious adventures far out in space and deep inside the human spirit.

Sie nannten ihn Sven, die Splitterfaust. Zumindest war das früher so. Damals, vor dem Krieg mit dem Dunklen Lord. Er war ein Abenteurer der Stufe S. Ein Mann, der in Armut aufwuchs. Jetzt gehört ihm das Adventurer's Rest. Eine Taverne, die er mit seinen zwei Gefährten betreibt. Das Zauberermädchen Ash und der Halbelf-Barkeeper Lloyd. Sie sind nicht ganz die Familie, in die er hineingeboren wurde, aber sie sind die Familie, die er gefunden hat. In einer Welt, die sich weitergedreht hat, helfen sie ihm, das zu finden, was er verloren hat. Sich selbst.

Abenteurer sterben nie, sie verblassen nur. Sie nannten ihn Sven, die Splitterfaust. Er gehörte zu einer Gruppe von Helden, die den Dämonenfürsten Mannon bekämpften. Jetzt ist er endlich nach Hause zurückgekehrt. Aber für Sven ist das Leben nach seiner Rückkehr aus der Fremde nicht mehr das, was es einmal war. Das Leben als Abenteurer ist auch nicht mehr das, was es einmal war. Alles hat sich verändert. Irgendetwas ist jetzt anders.

Dungeons are a lot like sea turtles. They’re born in clutches of dozens, if not hundreds. A 100 may be born at one time, buried in still-burning cities, in forests where the canopy hides the sky, or in ocean trenches at the bottom of the sea. But, only one in a clutch ever makes it to the surface. Everyone knows about dungeons - monstrous factories that emerge out of the earth, full of riches and Arcana and power - and monsters.

Eight years ago, Ruby Travers met a sweet, smiling boy as they traveled across the Atlantic, on a luxury ocean liner with their families.

When Matthew finally returns from Europe, intent on meeting her again, will Ruby's affection be dangerously engaged when he reveals his true feelings?

On a scale from zero to dumpster fire, I tend to hang out at the far, trash-burning end. But lately, things have been going eerily well. So when Festus showed up with a birthday cake and less blood on his suit than usual, I was a little more than skeptical. Add to that a scythe-wielding accountant that is wearing the carpet thin, a demonic soiree in Missouri, a murderous gang of Red Caps in cheese country, a lie-detecting seven-year-old, and a snooty corporate cult, and I can smell the gas fumes on the trash heap at 40 paces.

After everything that went down in Nevada, to say that we were reeling was an understatement. Now, I’ve got an additional little liability riding around with me, an Archeri on the loose, some cryptic clues from a dead god, a supernatural CPA to find, Death, Disneyland, kidnappers in polo shirts, angels, and a new conspiracy theory from Stacks and Luke that might just be true. Trust me when I say the working man has nothing on an armed and sleep-deprived working woman.
