Overview
«Una de las novelas más originales y emotivas del género, [que] marcó el giro de la temática extraterrestre en la ciencia ficción». -E. J. Rodríguez, Jot Down
Thomas Newton aterriza en Kentucky escapando de su planeta, Anthea, que ha sido devastado por las guerras nucleares y cuyos habitantes son el doble de inteligentes que los humanos. Adopta una apariencia humanoide y se pone manos a la obra para traer a sus compañeros alienígenas y salvarlos de la extinción. Pero su trabajo y la avanzada tecnología antheana que utiliza llaman la atención de Nathan Bryce, profesor de química que no tarda en sospechar que Newton esconde algo bajo la superficie. A medida que Bryce y el gobierno estadounidense se vayan acercando cada vez más a su sospechoso, Newton deberá luchar por mantenerse fiel a su misión y salvar a sus congéneres de una muerte segura. Y si bien los humanos son menos avanzados que los antheanos, en ocasiones pueden ser mucho más peligrosos.
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
From the bestselling author of The Queen's Gambit, the landmark science fiction novel that inspired the classic 1976 film starring David Bowie and is the basis for the Showtime series
A man wanders into town one day seemingly out of nowhere. He starts by peddling valuables just to get by. But he possesses uncanny scientific knowledge, which he uses to develop technologies of a marvelous nature. In time he builds a corporate empire that propels him to unimaginable wealth—but to what end? His rapid ascent to the highest levels of success is remarkable, but the vision of his enterprise begins to falter as he succumbs to afflictions that feel all-too-human, and the true purpose of his presence here on earth is in grave danger of being abandoned.
