Niemand erwartet wirklich, dass sie etwas Bedeutendes entdecken, denn das ist bislang noch niemandem gelungen.

The Regents of Zavetgrad are the key to breaking the Authority’s grip over the city, but the pompous aristocrats keep themselves safely hidden in their sub-oceanic villas. Capturing them will be Finn’s toughest test yet. No-one in history has ever penetrated their underwater domain. Even before that daring mission can begin, Finn and the Metals must work to secure Metalhaven in the face of a vengeful enemy that has fortified its position. The possibility of a counterattack is real, and with a familiar face in charge of the Authority sector, Finn must watch his step–and his back.

¿Es posible ser feliz? Sí, pero con dos condiciones fundamentales: una actitud positiva, que es necesaria pero no suficiente, y actuar en consecuencia. La vida feliz no se da tan sólo con desearla intensamente; hay que construirla. La casi totalidad de la literatura respecto del éxito o la felicidad enfatiza y se limita a señalar la actitud, equivalente a querer, pero deja a un lado el actuar; que es decidirse y comprometerse. No se trata solamente de asumir una actitud, sino que se requiere de voluntad para abordar los problemas con valentía y decisión.

Murder comes in two familiar forms. Whether as a crime of passion with high emotions or a cold dispassionate plot to take life in order to gain in some way, the act strikes us all as somehow inhuman. Beneath us as civilised beings. But however we cloak our animal instincts the need to remove a human being and gain relief from abuse or gain from money, the term is just the same – MURDER. Robert Louis Stevenson, Arthur Conan Doyle, J M Barrie, W W Jacobs and many others bring their literary heft to bear in as calculating a way as any killer could.

"It was a person after all, but she was suspended in mid-air. Abi’s heart began to thump against her ribcage as the full horror of what she was seeing became apparent. Her shrill scream pierced the silence, startling birds into taking flight. ‘Help me!’ she cried. ‘Somebody please help!’" When beautiful and bright Hannah is late for their morning run, her best friend Abi thinks nothing of it. Hannah isn’t always that reliable – she’s probably just overslept.
