Stirling, Sharon Kay Penman, and many others. Writes Gardner Dozois in his Introduction, "Here you'll find no hapless victims who stand by whimpering in dread while the male hero fights the monster or clashes swords with the villain, and if you want to tie these women to the railroad tracks, you'll find you have a real fight on your hands. Instead, you will find sword-wielding women warriors, intrepid women fighter pilots and far-ranging spacewomen, deadly female serial killers, formidable female superheroes, sly and seductive femmes fatale, female wizards, hard-living Bad Girls, female bandits and rebels, embattled survivors in Post-Apocalyptic futures, female Private Investigators, stern female hanging judges, haughty queens who rule nations and whose jealousies and ambitions send thousands to grisly deaths, daring dragonriders, and many more."

Una de las obras fundacionales del aclamado autor de Juego de Tronos. Publicado en 1986, Los viajes de Tuf es uno de los títulos más destacados de la primera etapa del autor y nos descubre el lado mas sci-fi de George R. R. Martin. Haviland Tuf es un ser curioso: un mercader independiente de gran corpulencia, calvo y con la piel blanca como el hueso. Es vegetariano, bebe montones de cerveza, come demasiado y le encantan los gatos. Ademas, es honesto. Tuf logra poseer una enorme nave espacial, el Arca, la unica superviviente del antiguo Cuerpo de Ingenieria de la Vieja Tierra. El Arca es un artilugio desaparecido hace mas de mil años, pero que revive gracias a Tuf y sus gatos. A lo largo de los siete relatos que conforman este libro, Tuf consigue la nave, la repara y resuelve un sinfin de problemas espaciales con la ayuda de la ingenieria ecologica, una profesion que el recupera y a la que añade la impronta de su personalidad, astucia e ironia.

Un cautivador canto a la amistad El vapor más majestuoso del Misisipi surca un río de sangre... En 1857, la cuenca del Misisipi bulle de actividad: los vapores señorean sus aguas en feroz competencia. Cuando Joshua York le ofrece sacar a flote sus naviera a cambio de unas pocas condiciones, sencillas aunque misteriosas, el capitán Marsh ve realizado su sueño: ser el patrón del vapor más rápido del río. Pero los sueños de ambos se verán infiltrados por una pesadilla que anegará de sangre los fondeaderos. Para su segunda novela en solitario, Martin eligió el Misisipi de Mark Twain como escenario histórico de la que ha llegado a consagrarse como una de las novelas de vampiros más celebradas de todos los tiempos. Una atmósfera sobrecogedora construida con maestría, la recreación impecable del marco histórico y un tratamiento del monstruo cercano a la ciencia ficción que remite al mismísimo Stoker han convertido _Sueño del Fevre_ en otra novela de referencia de un escritor tan rotundo como polivalente.
