LA NUEVA NOVELA DEL AUTOR DE GUERRA MUNDIAL Z

Greenloop fue, hasta la inesperada erupcin del Rainier, una selecta comunidad ecolgica. Ubicada en los bosques del estado de Washington, a poca distancia de Seattle, ofreca una vida idlica a sus habitantes, gracias a unos avances tecnolgicos que estaban en comunin con la naturaleza.

Ahora, de entre los escombros y los rastros de sangre de la urbanizacin, han podido recuperarse los diarios de Kate Holland. En ellos se relata una historia demasiado espantosa para ser olvidada, tan horrenda que podra romper nuestras convicciones. Incluso las ms firmes, como la solidez de nuestra civilizacin.

En las pginas de Involucin, Max Brooks no solo hace pblico por primera vez el extraordinario testimonio de Kate, sino que tambin expone los resultados de su propia investigacin 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 terrorficamente reales.

DE QU 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 were 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-communityuntil natures wrath made it a tragic object lesson in civilizations 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 paradiseuntil 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, Greenloops 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 predictedor even thought possible. . . .

In these pages, Max Brooks brings to light the journals of resident Kate Holland, recovered from the towns 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 usand 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 itand like none youve ever read before.
