In the clear blue skies above Long Island, two airplanes collide. Tony Stark watches the scene in horror and wishes he had the technology that is almost within his reacha new hyperintelligent instant control system that could have given the aircraft advance warning. But Stark, an obsessive, increasingly troubled recluse, doesnt know that his invention has been compromised. In fact, the collision was a carefully crafted hit on Madame Hydra, the final stage in Arnim Zolas plan to seize control of HYDRA and get rid of Iron Man once and for all. The cunning adversary has already infiltrated Stark Industries security to develop a version of the instant control mechanism that will take over the armored suit and turn it against Stark and S.H.I.E.L.D. While Tony races to track down the source of the intrusion, Zola unleashes direly ingenious computer viruses and the ultimate secret weapon: a murderous clone army based on Starks most trusted friend. A puppet master of self-replicating terror, Zola is plunging a city into a war that threatens to consume all in its wake.

Un antiguo mal despierta en las calles de Nueva YorkUn capítulo inédito de la historia secreta de América.A mediados del siglo XIX, el esclavo Stephen Bishop descubrió una momia precolombina en la Cueva del Mamut de Kentucky, el mayor sistema de cavernas del mundo. Las cronicas cuentan que Bishop se convirtio en explorador y guia de la cueva y que, en secreto, era miembro del Ferrocarril Subterraneo, el circuito de auxilio a esclavos huidos, y la uso como escondite de fugitivos. De la momia, las cronicas no dicen mucho; solo se sabe que fue vendida a un espectaculo ambulante, y luego su rastro se pierde... Hasta ahora: esta es la historia de como la momia reaparecio en Nueva York en la epoca convulsa de los motines; de su papel en las conspiraciones politicas y misticas de los que pretendian forjar un imperio americano; y de como volvio, tras muchas peripecias, a la Cueva del Mamut.Del Nueva York de las bandas a las cavernas del Medio Oeste, de la corrupcion politica a la cosmologia azteca, de las conspiraciones historicas a los planes esotericos de conquista, Siembra de jade desvela la historia secreta de la America decimononica."El bullicioso nivel de imaginacion de esta novela es maravilloso, y el estilo energico y exacto de Irvine termina de redondearla esplendidamente... Uno de los acercamientos mas puramente entretenidos y originales a la America secreta de los ultimos años."Locus"Una fantasia historica inteligente, solidamente escrita y excelentemente documentada que escapa a los lugares comunes."Kirkus Reviews"La caracterizacion de los personajes es casi tan perfecta como la investigacion historica, y la union de las dos hace de este libro una obra extraordinariamente solida."Publishers Weekly

A tale of heroism and exploit in the tradition of Robert E. Howard...Enter Remy, a quick-witted courier whose dangerous freight leads him into the vanguard of an ancient war between forces of light and the rising tide of shadows that threatens to overwhelm the burgeoning civilizations of the Two Rivers Gulf. The story opens with Remy alone and near death after an encounter with several stormclaw scorpions. His horse dead and poison sapping his strength, Remy collapses with his package at his side, undelivered. When he awakes, he is in the company of a band of adventurers who found him by the side of the road and nursed him back to health. Among them is a grim dragonborn paladin named Biri-Daar, whose wariness of the magical seals on Remys freight is outweighed by an overwhelming sense of duty to those in need. As they journey on, the nature of Remys package becomes a greater and greater curiosity. Soon the party, which has come to comprise some six-strong adventurers, finds itself to be the lynchpin that holds an army of netherworld forces at bay. Award-winning author and veteran shared-world writer Alex Irvine brings his unique characters and considerable storytelling talents to bear in the world of Dungeons & Dragons.
