Everything that is science fiction mixed with a good plot in a thriller style, has won me over before starting. As sample serve this recent reading. If the story also focuses on recognizable environments, honey on flakes.
Spain in 2065 is largely a kind of wasteland affected by climate change, a global warming that is spreading mercilessly throughout the world, and which is in charge of cruelly modifying, by leaps and bounds, the physiognomy of planet Earth. A subject that you are undoubtedly well acquainted with Jose Miguel Gallardo, the weatherman of TVE.
A kind of sentence, in the style of "There is no fate" from the Terminator movie, governs the blue planet. But amid hopelessness, disasters, famine and deaths caused by the new climate paradigm, the human being continues to be able to surprise in his pettiness and baseness.
Adrián Salor works as an advisor in the Ministry of Climate Change. Perhaps his performance has to do with the fatal accident in Africa, his wife, who appears burned in an unsuspected place for Adrián. Coping with the duel as best he can, Adrián senses how he is followed, and the appearance and approach of a sinister character that puts him on complete guard.
Faced with the precipitation of events, Adrián seeks refuge in a very special place, a hiding place at the foot of the Debod temple, where he once buried a time capsule next to Africa. The gesture, wrapped in promises of the future, love and yearnings to come together at that moment becomes a disconcerting point of rupture with the life that Adrián had shared with Africa until his death.
But the time capsule no longer holds the love letters with which he was buried, instead it includes a photo of the stranger who approached him during his wife's funeral. The confusion that prevails at that moment ends up awakening in Adrián concerns and misgivings that will lead him to discover what is happening. His little personal story guides him to the highest levels of power, where in the light of the evolution of a world in danger, he will begin to discover the most evil threads that move the world like a gigantic puppet.
