Part human and part robot, private investigator Bruna Husky has been hired to locate a stolen diamond. But as Bruna's leads start to drop dead, her case becomes about much more than a stolen gem--and much more dangerous. Traversing the galaxy, Bruna races against the clock to uncover a nuclear power conspiracy that threatens all sentient beings.Traveling from a distant planet populated by an extreme religious sect to landscapes destroyed by rising sea levels, Bruna tries to solve the puzzle of why so many people around her are suffering from toxic radiation. Meanwhile she must cope with a new love and the knowledge of when she will die, to the exact day. Designed for combat, Bruna can manipulate a plasma gun better than she can navigate matters of the heart.This tale of romance, prejudice, and ecoterrorism makes clear that though the future might appear very different in many ways, history can't help but repeat itself.

Tears in Rain (Bruna Husky, 1)

Death is inevitable. Especially when you have an expiration date. As a replicant, or “techno-human,” Detective Bruna Husky knows two things: humans bioengineered her to perform dangerous, undesirable tasks; and she has just ten years on the United States of Earth before her body automatically self-destructs. But with “anti-techno” rage on the rise and a rash of premature deaths striking her fellow replicants, she may have even less time than she originally thought. Investigating the mysterious deaths, Bruna delves into the fractious, violent history shared by humans and replicants, and struggles to engage the society that fails to understand her—yet created her. The deeper she gets, the deadlier her work becomes as she uncovers a vast, terrifying conspiracy bent on changing the very course of the world. But even as the darkness of her reality closes in, Bruna clings fiercely to life.

El peligro de estar cuerda

Seix-Barral

Amado amo es una comedia negra del mundo laboral. Es una novela sobre el poder, pero un poder con minúsculas, cotidiano y perfectamente reconocible: el que ejercen las empresas, el que sufren los asalariados, un poder risible que se mide en metros de despacho o en el número de veces que el jefe se ha parado a hablar contigo. César Miranda, empleado de una gran empresa, es un hombre en crisis que intenta sobrevivir a las tormentas y tormentos de una competitividad desenfrenada. Y su peripecia nos va dibujando el implacable pero divertidísimo retrato de la disparatada sociedad en que vivimos. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION Filled with black humor, Amado amo is a parody of the working world—a novel about the pettiness of management and the suffering of employees: the laughable power that can be measured by the size of an office or the number of times your boss stops by your office. César Miranda is a man in crisis; and his fight to keep his head above the turbulent waters of a frenzied competitiveness paints the ruthless and highly entertaining portrait of the ridiculous society we live in today.
