Resumen del Editor
1628. The most able general of the Ming Emperor is appointed as supreme military leader of the North-East Army, an intellectual and highly regarded aristocrat: Yuan Chonghuan.
He fought and pushed back the invading Manchus for ten years. But it was clear that soon he had to defend his home land. He did it with bravery and courage winning all the battles against the invaders even when he was badly outnumbered.
The Manchus understood that they can only defeat Chonghuan through intrigue and politics. They managed to bribe officials and the eunuchs. The General was charged with treachery and executed on September 22, 1630. Before dying, he cursed the Emperor to reach a time when he had to kill his own children.
This time came when the walls of the Forbidden City were broken by the peasants of Li Zicheng. Before committing suicide, the Emperor did kill his wives and children.
Two Portuguese sailors were present at the events - they saved the life of one of Emperor's daughters and took her to a monastery in the South. And this is how the legend of Changping and the Portuguese sailor starts. And this is how (nine generation later), two Americans of Portuguese descendent are tightened up to the curse - their life will change forever.

Historia
Ryland Grace is the sole survivor on a desperate, last-chance mission - and if he fails, humanity and the Earth itself will perish. Except that right now, he doesn't know that. He can't even remember his own name, let alone the nature of his assignment or how to complete it. All he knows is that he's been asleep for a very, very long time. And he's just been awakened to find himself millions of miles from home, with nothing but two corpses for company.

Historia
It’s 1984, and life has changed beyond recognition. Airstrip One, formerly known as Great Britain, is a place where Big Brother is always watching, and nobody can hide. Except, perhaps, for Winston Smith. Whilst working at the Ministry of Truth, rewriting history, he secretly dreams of freedom. And in a world where love and sex are forbidden, where it’s hard to distinguish between friend and foe, he meets Julia and O’Brien and vows to rebel.

Historia
Meet Jessica Jones: retired superhero, private investigator, loner. She tried her best to be a shiny spandex crimefighter, but that life only led to unspeakable trauma. Now she avoids that world altogether and works on surviving day-to-day in Hell’s Kitchen, New York. The morning a distraught mother comes into her office, Jessica would prefer to nurse her hangover and try to forget last night’s poor choices. But something about Amber Randall’s story strikes a chord with her. Amber is adamant that something happened to her teenage twins while they were visiting their father in the UK.

Historia
Six days ago, astronaut Mark Watney became one of the first people to walk on Mars. Now, he's sure he'll be the first person to die there. After a dust storm nearly kills him and forces his crew to evacuate while thinking him dead, Mark finds himself stranded and completely alone with no way to even signal Earth that he’s alive - and even if he could get word out, his supplies would be gone long before a rescue could arrive. But Mark isn't ready to give up yet.

Historia
Three months ago, Tansy Bloom quit monster hunting. Since then, she’s been trying to live a normal life (whatever that means), but ending up single, unemployed, and living on a boat outside her godfather’s pub definitely wasn’t part of the plan. So, when Tansy’s ex-husband – fellow monster hunter Rex Barclay – turns up like a bad penny and asks for her help with his latest investigation, Tansy reluctantly agrees. At first, the job appears to be a straightforward monster hunt – following a spate of large creature sightings, Rex believes a werewolf is on the loose in Norfolk.
