Overview
«Una novela tan original como ingeniosa que solo podía escribir Flanagan Mcphee. Repleta de acción,caerás rendido ante las agentes de RES». JUAN GÓMEZ-JURADO
UNA ORGANIZACIÓN SECRETA
Madrid. Una explosión en plena Puerta del Sol pone en alerta a las autoridades. No hay rastro de bombas ni de artefactos sospechosos, pero el kilómetro cero ha quedado completamente devastado. Las fuerzas de seguridad no entienden qué ha podido pasar y las únicas que saben cómo proceder son las agentes de la Secretaría del Estado RES (Recuperación de Elementos Susceptibles).
CUATRO MUJERES DE ACCIÓN
Integrada principalmente por mujeres —en concreto por cuatro agentes al borde de un ataque de nervios—, RES es ante todo una organización ultrasecreta. Su cometido es recuperar, catalogar y mantener ocultos objetos que pertenecieron a personas célebres de la Historia y que han adquirido extraños poderes. Estos reciben el nombre de «Elemento» y, si alguno de ellos cayera en manos inadecuadas —ya sea el pendiente extraviado de Lola Flores o la bata de Ramón y Cajal—, España (¡y toda la humanidad!) estarían en grave peligro.
TODO ESTÁ A PUNTO DE ESTALLAR
¿ESTÁS PREPARADO PARA CONVERTIRTE EN AGENTE DE RES?
El suceso en la Puerta del Sol y otros incidentes recientes que parecían aislados empiezan a tomar forma de conspiración. Alguien está trazando un plan para hacerse con los Elementos y usarlos en su propio (y oscuro) beneficio, pero las agentes no van a permitirlo.
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
Somewhere between the best Mendoza and an action thriller. Are you ready to become an agent of R.E.S.?
“A novel that’s as original as it is ingenious and that could only be written by Flanagan McPhee. Packed with thrills that will make you fall hard for the RES.” JUAN GÓMEZ-JURADO
A SECRET ORGANIZATION
Madrid. An explosion in the heart of the Puerta del Sol has the authorities on the alert. No trace of a bomb or suspicious object has been found, but the area at the center of the blast has been obliterated. The security forces can’t understand what happened. The only ones who know what to do are the agents of the Secretary of State for RES (Recovery of Sensitive Elements).
FOUR WOMEN OF ACTION
Staffed mostly by women – specifically, four agents on the verge of a nervous breakdown - RES is above all a top-secret organization. Its mission is to recover, catalogue and keep hidden objects that once belonged to famous historical personages and have since acquired strange powers. These are known as “Elements” and can be anything from Lola Flores’s lost necklace to Ramón y Cajal’s bathrobe. If they fall into the wrong hands, Spain (and all of humanity!) could be in grave danger.
EVERYTHING IS ABOUT TO EXPLODE. ARE YOU READY TO BECOME AN AGENT OF RES?
The incident in the Puerta del Sol and other seemingly isolated occurrences start to look like a conspiracy. Someone has a plan to gain access to the Elements and use them for their own dark purposes, but they’ll have to get past RES first.
