¿Qué sucedió con Daniel Miller?
Staten Island, 1981. La bicicleta de Daniel Miller aparece abandonada en las inmediaciones de su casa. No hay rastro del pequeño. Treinta años después, en 2011, la periodista de investigación del Manhattan Press Miren Triggs sigue una pista que la conduce hasta el terrible hallazgo de un cadáver con los labios sellados. Miren Triggs y Jim Schmoer, su antiguo profesor de periodismo, tratarán de descubrir qué vincula ambos casos mientras ayudan a Ben Miller, padre de Daniel y ex inspector del FBI, a reconstruir por última vez la desaparición de su hijo. Se adentrarán así en las profundidades de un enigma lleno de recovecos en los que resuenan las voces del pasado. ¿Qué le sucedió a Daniel? ¿Quién se esconde tras el horrible asesinato? ¿Puede el silencio ser el refugio de la verdad? Tras vender más de 2.500.000 ejemplares de sus anteriores novelas, Javier Castillo recupera a Miren, su personaje más icónico, y regresa al universo de La chica de nieve y El juego del alma. La grieta del silencio es un ejercicio de alta narrativa de impacto en el que Castillo despliega su maestría para ofrecer a los lectores una novela laberinto, una sinfonía que retumba en las entrañas, efervescente y enigmática, en la que el dolor y las viejas heridas regresan como el eco de los secretos que en realidad callamos. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION A missing seven-year-old boy.
A mystery silenced for thirty years.
What happened to Daniel Miller?
Staten Island, 1981. Daniel Miller's bicycle is found abandoned near his home. There is no trace of the little boy. Thirty years later, in 2011, Miren Triggs, investigative journalist for the Manhattan Press, follows a lead that takes her to the gruesome discovery of a dead body with sealed lips. Miren Triggs and Jim Schmoer, her old journalism professor, will try to find what links both cases while helping Ben Miller, Daniel's father and former FBI agent, reconstruct his son's disappearance one last time. They will step into the depths of an enigma where the voices from the past echo. What happened to Daniel? Who is hiding behind this horrible murder? Can silence be a sanctuary for truth? After selling over 2,500,000 copies of his previous novels, Javier Castillo brings back Miren, his most iconic character, and returns to the universe of The Snow Girl and The Soul Game. The Fissure of Silence is a high-impact storytelling exercise where Castillo unfolds his mastery to offer readers a labyrinthine novel, a symphony that resonates at the core, vibrant and enigmatic, in which pain and old wounds return like the echo of secrets we actually keep.

Not Quite Up to Simpsons Comics Standards, but Still Fun
Format: Paperback
Despite the cover, there is no western-related comic in this book (probably a good thing). This comic book is funny (it includes a comic book convention survival guide and a look at Lisa's dream house), but Matt Groening and company really raised the bar with some of their other comic books-hence the four star grade.
"Krustonia"-Krusty starts his own utopian nation to avoid paying income taxes. Sounds like something he'd do.
"Flanders' Big Score"-Fun-diddly-fun comic where amateur detective Ned Flanders investigates the case of the missing church fund-raiser money.
"Let's Get Ready to Bumble"-Homer becomes a professional wrestler. Not as good as the other comics in this book.
"Bringing Down Baby"-Short starring Maggie which also includes the infamous baby with the one eyebrow. Only mildly amusing.
"Smitherses!"-The nuclear power plant employees are on strike for a 5 cent per year raise. True to form, Mr. Burns decides that the best solution is to clone a staff of devoted sycophants (i.e. Smitherses). When the Smitherses begin to compete for Mr. Burns' attention-Watch out! This is a funny, imaginative comic.
"Bore Us the Movie Gruel"-Bart and company watch a 1950s film starring Troy McClure (how old is this guy?) and a mule. The usual sarcastic comments are offered.
"Radioactive Homer"-A complicated comic. The gist of it is that Homer believes he is Radioactive Man and joins forces with Leon (insane asylum inmate "Michael Jackson" in the TV episode "Stark Raving Dad") to take down Mr. Burns' "Project Q" (mentioned in Simpsons Comics #1 in the Extravaganza book). Has a very funny ending.

Krustonia
Format: Paperback
This was an okay book, with nothing exceptional. Starting the book off with "Krustonia" was a big mistake, as it's easily the worst Simpsons comic ever. Once you start reading it, it gets boring, so take my advice, read everything else first, then come back to this one, since I lost enthusiasm after struggling to complete Krustonia for several days. That said, Homer's wresting days are really funny, the Smithers clones are strange, but somehow very entertaining. (Mr. Burns better watch out :) and Homer as Radioactive Man was great, especially to see Leon "Michael Jackson" Komposki back. I also liked the mini-Ned Flanders mystery, and the guide to comic book conventions. If it weren't for Krustonia, this book would be the perfect buy.

Perfect For Game Developers w/ Some Experience Wishing To Learn Unreal Fast
Format: Kindle
Rachel Cordone’s Unreal Engine 4 Game Development Quick Start Guide is the perfect book for people with some programming chops, or users of other engines (like Unity), that want to get up to speed quickly with Unreal. I really liked how the author does not waste time explaining basic things (like what functions or variables are) and jumps to the practical steps for getting things working. Unreal experience is not required at all, though you should have some foundation of how programming works to get the most out of the text.
Most of the book is using Blueprints, the built-in visual scripting language of UE4. I’m a huge fan of Blueprints, and visual scripting in general, and you can accomplish many things, even a whole game, without touching C++. However, Rachel does show how to use C++ and interface with Blueprints code (very handy). Within the book, the author explains each step along the way to accomplish various things, along with screenshots of the Blueprints, making everything easy to follow.
Some of the topics covered include: the basics of navigating the editor, using variables, functions, events, and creating a Blueprint from scratch. Adding C++ to a Blueprint project. Creating menus and HUDs with UMG, animation, scripting AI, multiplayer, and optimization. Definitely not an exhaustive list, but a good range of information to get a feel for how powerful Unreal is and how to quickly start working with it.
So far, I’ve only read maybe a couple other Unreal books, but I think I can say this is the best I’ve seen. While some other books are longer and more in depth, as this one only clocks in at just under 200 pages, I feel like the brevity helps keep things focused. While you’re not creating Grand Theft Auto here, the simple demo built in the book is functional and teaches the basics of how you would make a game in Unreal.
This is a case where the title of the book is very apt and honest. This is a “quick start” guide for game developers not familiar with Unreal Engine 4, but maybe that have experience with Unity or some other engine or framework. I think if you are a complete beginner, you might want to read up on basic programming concepts first, though the book is simple enough you could probably just jump in if you really wanted. For people with experience elsewhere, this is perfect to get up to speed with Unreal fast. I can’t recommend this book enough.
