Synopsis "Firefight"

Firefight es el segundo volumen de la elogiada «Trilogía de los Reckoners» de Brandon Sanderson, el autor de fantasía épica que más lectores está ganado en todo el mundo y que ya se ha convertido en el futuro heredero del trono de todo un género.La presente edición de Firefight incluye el relato «Mitosis», cuya lectura se sitúa entre los libros uno y dos de la trilogía.La ciudad de Chicago Nova es libre.Le dijeron a David que era imposible, que ni siquiera los Reckoners habían sido capaces de matar a un Gran Épico. Sin embargo, Steelheart -invencible, inmortal, inamovible- ha muerto. Y David fue el responsable de su fin. Acabar con Steelheart debería haber completado la vida de David. Pero en realidad, solo le sirvió para ser consciente de todas las preguntas para las que no tiene respuesta. Y en Chicago Nova nadie puede contestarlas.Pese a todo, en Babilonia Restaurada, el lugar antes conocido como Manhattan, quizá pueda encontrar las respuestas. Es unan urbe inundada y triste, gobernada por la Gran Épica Regalia, pero David está seguro de que por allí pasa el camino que le llevará a lo que busca. Es arriesgado entrar en una ciudad bajo el yugo de una despótica Gran Épica, pero para David la apuesta vale la pena. Porque la muerte de Steelheart solo logró dejarle un enorme vacío donde antes residía su sed de venganza: en el corazón. Había logrado llenar ese vacío con Firefight, una Épica desaparecida. Y ahora se embarcará en una empresa más peligrosa y siniestra que la rebelión contra Steelheart.Partirá en busca de Firefight y de las respuestas que necesita.ENGLISH DESCRIPTIONThe #1 New York Times bestseller and sequel to Steelheart from Brandon Sanderson, the author of Oathbringer, coauthor of Robert Jordan’s The Wheel of Time series, and creator of the internationally bestselling Mistborn trilogy, presents the second book in the Reckoners series: Firefight. And don’t miss Calamity, the exciting conclusion to the Reckoners series!David Charleston has lived for one purpose: to kill Steelheart, the supremely powerful, seemingly invincible Epic who murdered his father. Now Steelheart is dead and David is beginning to question everything that he—and the world—understands about the superhumans they call Epics.David’s suspicions are the reason he follows Prof to the flooded city once known as New York. But what he finds there could be what ultimately ends him. The truth might just burn deepest of all.

Brandon Sanderson (Lincoln, Nebraska, December 19, 1975) is an American writer of fantasy and science fiction literature. He is best known for the fictional universe of Cosmere, in which most of his fantasy novels are set, including the series Mistborn and The Stormlight Archive. Outside of Cosmere, he has written several series for young adults and children, such as The Reckoners, the Skyward series, and the Alcatraz series. He is also known for completing Robert Jordan's high fantasy series The Wheel of Time. Sanderson has created several fantasy graphic novels, such as White Sand and Dark One.

He created Sanderson's Laws of Magic and popularized the idea of "hard magic" and "soft magic" systems. In 2008, Sanderson started a podcast with writer Dan Wells and cartoonist Howard Tayler called Writing Excuses, which discusses topics on genre writing and webcomics. In 2016, the American media company DMG Entertainment acquired the rights to all of Sanderson's Cosmere universe, but since then the rights have reverted back to Sanderson. Sanderson's Kickstarter campaign in March 2022 became the most successful in history, with 185,341 backers pledging 41,754,153 dollars.

Born in Nebraska, he is a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (Mormon) and currently resides in Provo (Utah), with his wife Emily whom he married on July 7, 2006. He earned a master's degree in Creative Writing in 2005 at Brigham Young University, where he was roommates with Jeopardy! champion Ken Jennings. He has been nominated twice for the John W. Campbell Award.
