En 1942, Lawrence Pritchard Waterhouse, genio matemático y capitán de la marina estadounidense, colabora con Alan Turing y especialistas de Betchely Park en la tarea de descifrar los códigos secretos de las potencias del Eje. Sesenta años más tarde, la empresa de su nieto y brillante criptohacker, Randy Waterhouse, proyecta crear la Cripta, un paraíso de datos y el mayor exponente de la libertad informática. Al final, ni siquiera Wagner o el «oro del Rhin» han de resultar ajenos a la plural y camaleónica trama de Criptonomicón, un tour de force narrativo incomparable, desmesurado y sorpréndete. Un hito en la narrativa moderna, con una atrevida mezcla de géneros: ciencia ficción, ucronía y thriller, entre otros, que componen una novela llena de humor e ironía.

Vox Machina enjoy a week in Westruun’s lap of luxury leading up to the Winter’s Crest Festival. But that costs coin, which has a bad habit of running out, so they join an underground fighting ring and bash their way to cash. Unfortunately, their ring-fighting turns out to be just a warm-up for a cold reality when a mysterious attack on Winter’s Crest festivities leaves the whole town magically frozen—including one of their own. Vox Machina will have to save the day again, against a much bigger foe than they first realized!

Veth Brenatto doesn’t have an exciting life, but she likes it that way. Unlike her childhood, it’s safe. Predictable. And her husband and son love her almost as fiercely as she loves them.

In order to save them, Veth will commit an atrocity that will sever her from all that she loves––maybe forever––and lead her to become Nott the Brave of the Mighty Nein.
