Los Guerreros del Código

Los Guerreros del Código

El espíritu de la juventud y la tecnología pueden cambiar el mundo.

Con una tragedia tras otra golpeando su aldea -accidentes, enfermedades- los gemelos Dakuntu y Sakuntu están desesperados por encontrar una forma de ayudar a sus seres queridos. Su pasión por la lectura los conduce a un descubrimiento transformador: internet.

Recién iniciados en el mundo de la tecnología, devoran cada libro que encuentran sobre internet y, más tarde, sobre programación. Entonces tienen una idea brillante. Si logran ponerla en práctica, podrían salvar a toda su aldea y abrir una nueva era para sus amigos y familiares.

"Los guerreros del Código" no es solo una historia sobre ciencia y tecnología llegando a zonas remotas. Es también una historia de amor, compasión y del poder de hacer todo lo posible por quienes amamos.

Daniel Amadi disfruta identificar problemas y usar la programación para resolverlos. A través de sus publicaciones y talleres, busca fomentar la curiosidad por el código e inspirar la creatividad en muchas mentes.

Foster’s Revenge

Foster’s Revenge

$18.99eBook: $6.99

In a kill or be killed world, The Reaper does whatever it takes to survive.

Following the murder of his half-brother, legendary Army Ranger Luke Foster returns to the United States from fighting terrorists. His brother’s history with a prominent New York Mafia family was no secret, so it’s no surprise his life was cut short. But the Mafia enforcers don’t know about Foster, his reputation as The Reaper, or that he’s coming for them.

FBI Special Agent Calico Hayes is determined to stop Luke Foster from leaving a trail of bodies across the U.S. in his unsanctioned quest for vengeance. But stopping Foster’s revenge proves more difficult than she expected, and sparks fly in more ways than one when the two cross paths.

While investigating his brother’s murder, they uncover a sinister plan to assassinate a populist presidential candidate. Hayes and Foster must put purpose before passion in order to stop the diabolical plot that could trigger a World War.

Part of the Solution: a mystery

Part of the Solution: a mystery

It's 1978, and Jennifer Morgan, a sassy New Yorker, has escaped to the counterculture village of Flanders, Massachusetts. Her peaceful life is disrupted when one of her customers at the Café Galadriel is found dead.  Everyone is a suspect—including the gentle artisan woodworker, the Yeats-wannabe poet, the town's anti-war hero, the peace-loving Episcopalian minister, and the local organic farmer who can hold a grudge.

Concern for her community prompts Jennifer to investigate the murder with the sometimes-reluctant help of Ford McDermott, a young police officer. Little does she know that the solution lies in the hidden past.

Part of the Solution blends snappy dialogue, unconventional settings, and a classic oldies soundtrack, capturing the essence of a traditional whodunnit in a counterculture era. ​
