La torre de la soledad

Estos son los ingredientes con los que Valerio Massimo Manfredi construye La torre de la soledad, una de sus mejores novelas. Un grupo de soldados romanos que avanza por el desierto del Sahara es aniquilado por una presencia feroz y misteriosa nacida de una torre solitaria en el extremo del mar de arena. Solo un superviviente: el arúspice etrusco Avile Vipinas. Veinte siglos después, en 1930, un joven arqueólogo norteamericano, Philip Garrett, descubre en Pompeya la habitación de Avile Vipinas quien, antes de morir, quiso dejar testimonio del horror oculto en la torre solitaria y de cómo llegar hasta ella para destruirlo. Mientras tanto, en el Vaticano, Guglielmo Marconi es convocado en mitad de la noche al observatorio de La Specola, donde una potentísima radio, construida con gran secreto, está captando una misteriosa señal que proviene del espacio. El padre Boni, director del observatorio, ha hecho construir esa radio tras haber descubierto en las notas de su predecesor que diez años antes Garrett había traducido con éxito un texto oculto durante siglos en un lugar recóndito de la Biblioteca Vaticana: una especie de biblia elaborada por una civilización mucho más antigua que cualquiera de las conocidas. Antes de extinguirse habían construido la Torre de la Soledad y lanzado una señal al espacio. Pero ¿qué esconde la torre? ¿Quiénes eran, si realmente existieron, los Blemmi de los que hablaban los antiguos viajeros? ¿Cuál es el secreto de la bellísima Arad, por cuyas venas corre la sangre de la antigua reina negra de Meroe?
