«El enigma de Darwin o cómo descifrar el misterio más mortífero de la vida».
Que el lector se prepare par rendirse ante este thriller «inteligente» y «absorbente», tal como Kirkus Reviews describe la cruzada de Juan Gutiérrez para desvelar los secretos de la inmunidad frente al cáncer. El escritor superventas del New York Times F. Paul Wilson lo considera «un intrigante thriller científico con un final de infarto».
Dedicado a la ciencia en cuerpo y alma, Juan Gutiérrez, abnegado investigador sobre el cáncer, indaga en el genoma de criaturas que escapan a las garras de dicha enfermedad. Años de estudio exhaustivo revelan un patrón, un enigma que se prolonga milenios y predice el rumbo de la evolución a lo largo de múltiples generaciones.
A partir de este patrón, Juan descubre la esquiva clave de la batalla contra el cáncer. No obstante, a sus espaldas, el tesoro genético que bautiza como «enigma de Darwin» ha llamado la atención de personas con intereses turbios.
Entonces entra en escena Nate Carrington, un avispado analista forense del FBI que intenta esclarecer casos irresolubles. Un incidente escalofriante en un rancho aislado allana el camino: un ternero recién nacido rodeado por un rebaño de ganado muerto tiene un ADN desconcertante que guarda relación con los casos sin resolver de Nate.
Mientras tanto, en un hospital rural de Virginia Occidental, se produce una tragedia impensable: cuatro vidas segadas y una recién nacida que acaba en la unidad de biocontención de nivel 4. Se ha desatado una crisis que va más allá de la genética y la ciencia, un secreto nefasto que amenaza a toda la humanidad.
El enigma de Darwin es un thriller arriesgado que mezcla el poder de la genética con la revelación de secretos mortíferos. ¿Acaso el descubrimiento de Juan puede reescribir el futuro de la medicina, o caerá en manos de quienes aprovecharían su poder con fines perversos? Prepárate para una historia trepidante que te cautivará hasta el final.
«Con El enigma de Darwin, M.A. Rothman nos presenta un thriller intrigante con trasfondo científico que hace gala de un final de infarto».
—F. Paul Wilson, autor superventas en las listas del New York Times
«EL ENIGMA DE DARWIN, de M. A. Rothman, es un thriller apasionante, bien documentado e inquietantemente realista sobre la investigación médica y la modificación genética».
—Kevin J. Anderson, autor superventas en las listas del New York Times
«Los lectores que busquen thrillers de ciencia ficción trepidantes no tienen más que leer una de las historias de Rothman. Acomódense y disfruten del viaje».
—Larry Correia, autor superventas en las listas del New York Times
«EL ENIGMA DE DARWIN es un thriller médico acerca de cómo la manipulación genética afecta a una familia. Los fans de Robin Cook y Michael Crichton están de enhorabuena. Trepidante, inquietante y conmovedor».
—David Farland, autor superventas en las listas del New York Times
«Una historia perspicaz y absorbente que nos habla de ciencia de manera entretenida».
—Kirkus Reviews

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.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 4,476
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.

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.

Jazz Bashara is a criminal. Well, sort of. Life on Artemis, the first and only city on the moon, is tough if you're not a rich tourist or an eccentric billionaire. So smuggling in the occasional harmless bit of contraband barely counts, right? Not when you've got debts to pay and your job as a porter barely covers the rent. Everything changes when Jazz sees the chance to commit the perfect crime, with a reward too lucrative to turn down.
