Gold on the Moon

Once upon a time in 2067, one hundred years after the Outer Space Treaty that prohibits the appropriation of natural resources in space, from the Olympia space station, the Commander Howard Pickpower and his crew are in charge of various activities: development of miraculous vaccines, carry out tests with solar energy, destroy space debris and potentially dangerous meteorites or asteroids, and analyze the composition of celestial bodies, searching for new materials and investigating existing ones. A sensational discovery in the hidden zone of the Moon, faithfully kept in secret, sets off alarms in the Olympia and its governing bodies (the International Space Agency and the United Nations Security Council). So much so that its geopolitical implications could lead to disregarding the Outer Space Treaty and space legislation, and initiate a stage of space mining, with armed conflicts among several nations or a world war. Meanwhile, five spaceships from different governments and corporations, motivated by the leak of information and rumors, are traveling to the far side of the Moon.

The Secret Marriage of Sherlock Holmes and Irene Adler and Three Other

Sherlock Holmes has been missing for three days. In principle, Dr. Watson doesn´t think much of it because the detective has done this before. However, from the end of the second day, Watson begins to worry and faints upon receiving news of Mycroft Holmes, who, supported by agents from the secret service office, follows the trail of Sherlock Holmes and Irene Adler through some Scottish islands, while he is sure that they are going to get married in secret. Moreover, Mycroft Holmes is extremely concerned: from the Queen’s stable, three horses that will represent the nation in an international classic have been abducted, and also the niece of the Secretary for European Affairs, Sir Trelawney Hope (whose political power surpasses the influence of the British prime ministers of the last decade), has been kidnapped. In addition to this, a dark secret persists with the missing niece, and the geopolitical consequences of both cases could be fatal for the Conservative Party and the English government, who would lose respect and credibility in the European community and the British colonies. Mycroft Holmes and Watson are upset by the irresponsible and insane attitudes of Sherlock Holmes, who claims to be on vacation. Although the great detective is aware of the delicate situation, and working remotely, he sends telegrams that allow his brother and Watson to get to the bottom of the truth and solve these complicated cases. And following the trail of a telegram from Sherlock Holmes and other deductions from inspector Patterson and Watson, who remembers other words from the missing detective, a Scotland Yard and secret service team, accompanied by Watson, and led by Mycroft and Lestrade, go to the Canary Islands, precisely to the third, known as La Gomera, with the purpose of finding Sherlock Holmes, capturing Irene Adler, preventing that wedding and recovering jewels stolen by that damned woman, including the Koh-i-Noor diamond. Nonetheless, although it is known that Irene Adler was related to the two previous cases, the objective of Sherlock Holmes, planned for several years, is to return the Koh-i-Noor diamond to the Queen, even at the expense of a forced marriage with Irene Adler. The wedding takes place in a Spanish galleon with the support of a Norwegian captain. However, the situation is confusing and events escape of the control of the authorities. On the one hand, Sherlock Holmes has a plan to recover the Koh-i-Noor diamond and annul this marriage. And on the other hand, in one way or another, Irene Adler always wins, and she deceives the detective and his collaborators, dealing an inconceivable blow to the Spanish Crown. Moreover, Watson suspects that previously Holmes and Adler secretly married in Scotland, which is the beginning of an Adler’s sinister plan to become a new European queen...

A Thousand and One Nights

A Thousand and One Nights is a collection of various Arabic and Oriental tales, written mostly between the ninth and fifteenth centuries, although some stories come from earlier times, and these were collected and translated in Western languages, since the eighteenth century, in France. It should be noted that this is a great story. It begins with the short tale of two powerful brothers, the king Shahryar and the king Schahzaman, both deceived by their wives, which humiliated them. However, the firstborn and wisest, king Shahryar, decides to marry every night and murder his wife at the dawn of the next day, satisfying a strange thirst for revenge. These unprecedented actions, that resemble sacrifices of human beings, created terror in the kingdom, many fathers fled with their daughters, and there came a time where the vizier, faithful servant of the king, couldn´t find more wives and was convinced by his intelligent eldest daughter, Scheherazade, to be handed over to the monarch. In this regard, she is a heroine, who understands the need to liberate her people and restore the rights of women, and conceives an unusual plan to prevent her death and persuade the king to eliminate his bloody practices: every night the bold Scheherazade tells a story, but she doesn´t ends it, forcing the curious king to let her live for the next night. Later, if she finishes that tale, then Scheherazade continues with another unfinished narration and so on, staying for a thousand and one nights... It is not known who designed this extraordinary leading story, which wonderfully fulfills two great objectives: first, joining a large collection of different and non-related narrations into a single literary work, and second, developing an incredible story, in which a weak but intelligent heroine defeats an evil and powerful king.
