¿Qué pensarían de nosotros los extraterrestres si pudiesen vernos? ¿Y qué diríais que recordará de nuestro planeta un astronauta enviado al espacio en una misión que durará años y años?

Jordi Sierra i Fabra nació en Barcelona el 26 de julio de 1947.
Es conocido por su obra como escritor de literatura infantil y juvenil y su trabajo como periodista musical. Su vocación de escritor es clara y firme desde muy temprano: confiesa que dio sus primeros pasos con tan sólo ocho años de edad y a los doce años ya escribió su primera novela larga, de quinientas páginas.
Pese a su clara vocación no contaba con la aprobación o el entusiasmo de sus padres, quienes al acabar el bachillerato le obligaron a trabajar en una empresa de construcción durante el día y a estudiar para ser aparejador durante la noche.
De su infancia ha dicho que 'fui tres veces reprimido: por mi padre, por el régimen y por la escuela franquista'.
Aún así, su determinación y su tenacidad son más fuertes que cualquier obstáculo y sus insistentes cartas semanales a la cadena de radio Cadena Ser le llevaron a convertirse en uno de los fundadores de la revista 'El Gran Musical' en 1968.
En 1970 pudo abandonar los estudios para convertirse en comentarista musical, lo que le permitió viajar por todo el mundo con grupos y artistas del momento mientras cubría sus actuaciones y escribir reportajes.
En este libro de ciencia ficción leeremos cinco relatos acerca de las aventuras de Ion, el guardián del asteroide 72.539 del Sistema K, que se siente muy solo en su mundo en el que no vive nadie más. Pero lo que más le preocupa es que se aburre mucho.
Por otro lado, Daniel es un astronauta en misión espacial que está a punto de 'aterrizar' en este nuevo planeta al que los científicos han bautizado como MT-7. Y si en la Tierra se llama aterrizar y en la Luna alunizar... ¿cómo se llamará entonces aterrizar aquí? Pero eso no importa, Daniel, como siempre, se está distrayendo y mejor será que se concentre en la maniobra, que no queremos ninguna sorpresa.
En la galaxia de Hur viven todos aterrorizados. Ya no es como antes, cuando sus habitantes vivían felices y contentos, pues no conocían la guerra desde hacía mil años. Hará falta que tenga el intrépido Hal a ayudarles a recuperar La Paz.
Relatos galácticos contiene los siguientes relatos cortos:
Ion, el guardián galáctico y los piratas de Mandoncia
El ser
El monstruo de la galaxia
El robot que quería ser humano
El planeta habitado

New York Times bestselling author Katherine Arden returns with another creepy, spine-tingling adventure in this follow-up to the critically acclaimed Small Spaces and Dead Voices.
Until next time. That was chilling promise made to Ollie, Coco and Brian after they outsmarted the smiling man at Mount Hemlock Resort. And as the trio knows, the smiling man always keeps his promises. So when the lights flicker on and off at Brian's family's inn and a boom sounds at the door, there's just one visitor it could be. Only, there's no one there, just a cryptic note left outside signed simply as --S.
The smiling man loves his games and it seems a new one is under way. But first, the three friends will have to survive a group trip to Lake Champlain where it's said Vermont's very own Loch Ness monster lives. Brian is thrilled. He hasn't sailed since visiting his family in Jamaica and even the looming threat of the smiling man can't put a damper on what is guaranteed to finally be a day of fun--even if it is awkward being stuck on a boat with both his old best friend, Phil and his new best friends, Coco and Ollie. But when a misstep from Phil causes a tragedy onboard and leaves them shipwrecked on an island haunted by a monster on both land and sea, Brian's survival instincts kick in and it's up to him to help everyone work together and find a way to escape.
One thing is for sure, the smiling man is back and he wants a rematch. And this time Brian is ready to play.
