Faced with a battle tank, the reincarnation of David tried to put his life before the advance of the "Goliath" tanks towards what he should consider the inalienable space of freedom of the Chinese people: Tiananmen Square. We all keep that image alive as one of the most representative of the XNUMXth century. A guy holding two bags opposes a column of tanks. Eternal image, without a doubt.
That guy was renamed the "unknown rebel" and became the first viral phenomenon back in 1989, even before the concept coined by today's social networks existed.
This book The Tank Man Chimera part of a very suggestive hypothesis. 25 years later, the Chinese government is preparing a meeting between the protester who confronted that tank and the military man who stopped in front of it.
Without a doubt, a powerful symbol of reunion for the Chinese people. A concession from the government with a view to strengthening the country united at last.
Of course, the idea will bring comings and goings, back and forth of conflicting interests. The whole world participates in this reunion, from a popular level to the most underground aspects of the intelligence services.
Thus, we end up discovering a world in the hands of an international policy that falls into disarray at every slightest movement, handcuffed by economic interests that have now become powers that be. The censorship of hermetic countries or the opening of liberal countries, it may all be the same when it comes to power and money.
The plot moves as if the XNUMXst century were donning the Cold War disguise. And Víctor Sombra adopts scenarios and approaches from the dark spy novels associated with that period. Thus, we also observe how the writer participates intensely and committed in the reality that he has to live.
