Descripción editorial
Behold an unforgettable intergalactic love story, rescued from the mists of time and brought to you by the visionaries behind Mythic Quest, the world-changing video game at the heart of the Apple TV+ Original Series.
What connects tantalizing yet tender alien romance with the biggest multiplayer video game of all time? Seasoned storyteller C.W. Longbottom, the Nebula Award-winning science-fiction and fantasy author and head writer of Mythic Quest. C.W. found literary fame with Inside the Caves of Beneroth and Tears of the Anaren, but even his most loyal fans don’t know that Tears of the Anaren began as a short story he wrote in the early 1970s while interning at Amazing Tales magazine.
This never-before-published draft is now yours to discover, complete with C.W.’s (extremely) colorful commentary and an Introduction and Afterword by Ian Grimm, the iconoclastic creator of Mythic Quest. As sparks fly between heroic scoundrel Zeb and space seductress Merrith, we get a glimpse into the mind of a talented young man yearning for greatness. Like early Mozart, it is raw and green — but also magic.
From Charlie Day, Megan Ganz, and Rob McElhenney, the Apple TV+ original comedy series, Mythic Quest, goes behind the scenes to follow the game’s creators. In a workplace focused on building worlds, molding heroes, and creating legends, the most hard-fought battles don’t occur in the game — they happen in the office. Rob McElhenney stars as Ian Grimm alongside Charlotte Nicdao and F. Murray Abraham.

Un viaje a la mente de C.W. Longbottom
Que una serie intente sacar rédito de merchandising no es algo sorprendente. Que, en cambio, dedique tiempo y esfuerzo a hacer una versión de un relato corto, ¡y un audiolibro! que entrega gratis, eso es otra cosa. Y del cual, además, me enteré casi de casualidad (igual que del juego que crearon para la primera temporada). Es amor a la serie y a sus personajes, eso sin duda.
El relato, bueno, casi lo esperaba peor, la verdad. Las referencias a la Confederación y a los Yankees son referencias algo lejanas (supongo que se podría asimilar con los bandos de la Guerra Civil, salvando las distancias). Y se ven claras las tendencias y los modismos del personaje, lo cual es meritorio.
Eso sí, me quedo con las ganas de poder leer la versión ganadora del Nébula. Bueno, repasaré un poco alguno de mis libros de Asimov, por ningún motivo en concreto…
