LA NUEVA NOVELA DEL AUTOR DE GUERRA MUNDIAL Z
Greenloop fue, hasta la inesperada erupción del Rainier, una selecta
comunidad ecológica. Ubicada en los bosques del estado de Washington, a
poca distancia de Seattle, ofrecía una vida idílica a sus habitantes,
gracias a unos avances tecnológicos que estaban en comunión con la
naturaleza.
Ahora, de entre los escombros y los rastros de sangre de la
urbanización, han podido recuperarse los diarios de Kate Holland. En
ellos se relata una historia demasiado espantosa para ser olvidada, tan
horrenda que podría romper nuestras convicciones. Incluso las más
firmes, como la solidez de nuestra civilización.
En las páginas de Involución, Max Brooks no solo hace público por
primera vez el extraordinario testimonio de Kate, sino que también
expone los resultados de su propia investigación sobre la masacre de
Greenloop y sobre las letales criaturas que la llevaron a cabo, seres
con un aura legendaria pero que se han revelado como terroríficamente
reales.
¿DE QUÉ SOMOS CAPACES CUANDO QUEDAMOS AISLADOS DE LA SOCIEDAD?
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
Finalists Vie for the 2021 Locus Awards
The #1 bestselling author of World War Z returns with a horror tale
that blurs the lines between human and beast, and asks, What are we
capable of when we're cut off from society?
"I wish we could elevate the national dialogue on public safety to a
level of tone and focus that Max Brooks has demonstrated for all of
us."--Tom Ridge, former governor of Pennsylvania and first secretary of
the U.S. Department of Homeland Security
Set in the wilds of Washington State, Greenloop was once a model
eco-community--until nature's wrath made it a tragic object lesson in
civilization's fragility.
Offering a glorious back-to-nature experience with all the comforts of
high-speed Internet, solar smart houses, and the assurance of being mere
hours from Seattle by highway, Greenloop was indeed a paradise--until
Mount Rainier erupted, leaving its residents truly cut off from the
world, and utterly unprepared for the consequences. With no weapons and
their food supplies dwindling, Greenloop's residents slowly realized
that they were in a fight for survival. And as the ash swirled and
finally settled, they found themselves facing a specter none of them
could have predicted--or even thought possible. . . .
In these pages, Max Brooks brings to light the journals of resident Kate
Holland, recovered from the town's bloody wreckage, faithfully
reproducing her words alongside his own investigations into the massacre
that followed and the legendary beasts behind it. If what Kate saw in
those days is real, then we must accept the impossible. We must accept
that the creature known as Bigfoot walks among us--and that it is a
beast of terrible strength and ferocity.
Part survival narrative, part bloody horror tale, part scientific
journey into the boundaries between truth and fiction, this is a Bigfoot
story as only Max Brooks could chronicle it--and like none you've ever
read before.
