Gian Paolo Gasperi Orden de los libros (cronológico)

La nueva novela del autor de La biblioteca de los muertos plantea un nuevo y aún más estremecedor reto: Encontrar un libro que revela el destino último de la humanidad. ¿Qué harías si conocieras la fecha del fin del mundo? Cuando un hombre a las puertas de la muerte encarga a Will Piper la búsqueda de un libro, el ex agente del FBI no lo duda un instante. Un libro antiguo en el que va a descubrir un secreto estremecedor: una misteriosa epístola escrita por Félix, el último superior de la abadía de Vectis, deja constancia de los extraños acontecimientos relacionados con la biblioteca de los muertos y revela la naturaleza de la última fecha registrada: el 9 de febrero de 2027... el fin de la humanidad. Will deberá enfrentarse, entonces, a un dilema moral de difícil solución: revelar a la humanidad una verdad aterradora o callar para siempre.

At Princeton University, a famed geneticist dies inside a biohazard lab. In Rome, a Vatican archaeologist is found dead in St. Peter's Basilica. In Africa, a U.S. senator's son is slain outside a Red Cross camp. The three murders on three continents bear a horrifying connection: all the victims are marked by a Druidic pagan cross burned into their flesh. The bizarre murders thrust Commander Gray Pierce and Sigma Force into a race against time to solve a riddle going back centuries, to a ghastly crime against humanity hidden within a cryptic medieval codex. The first clue is discovered inside a mummified corpse buried in an English peat bog--a gruesome secret that threatens America and the world. Aided by two women from his past--one his exlover, the other his new partner--Gray must piece together the horrifying truth. But the revelations come at a high cost, and to save the future, Gray will have to sacrifice one of the women at his side. That alone might not be enough, as the true path to salvation is revealed in a dark prophecy of doom. Sigma Force confronts humankind's greatest threat in an adventure that races from the Roman Coliseum to the icy peaks of Norway, from the ruins of medieval abbeys to the lost tombs of Celtic kings. The ultimate nightmare is locked within a talisman buried by a dead saint--an ancient artifact known as the Doomsday Key.

The warlike Yevethan people have already annihilated the populations of more than a dozen peaceful worlds, and Han Solo, on whom all hopes of the New Republic rest, is in the clutches of the brutal Yevethan Vice-King Nil Spaar. Leia must do everything in her power to persuade the Senate to finally take countermeasures—even if it means Han's death. Meanwhile, Chewbacca is already on a reckless rescue mission to free his friend, no matter the cost...
