Amenaza Antártica - Libro Uno: Terror
by Alexandre TorresVivimos cada vez más conectados a flujos de informaciones, pero nos falta el tiempo y la habilidad necesarios para la reflexión crítica en la construcción de nuevos conocimientos. Guiados por las emociones, nos dejamos llevar como parte de la gran manada, tal como hormigas guiadas por las feromonas de sus pares. A medida que nos conectamos unos a otros, nos estaríamos transformando en una especie de zombi? Esta es la pregunta que abruma a un grupo de seis trabajadores de invierno de la Antártida en la base americana de McMurdo Sound. Empleados aislados en un continente desierto en esa estación, bajo condiciones climáticas extremas y sometidos a la oscuridad de la larga noche antártica. Un incendio misterioso es el detonante para una serie de crisis que pondrán en riesgos sus vidas, sus mentes y sus propias almas. Jennifer Summers es una psicóloga especializada en la gestión de recursos humanos y también una descendiente de nativos americanos que intenta comprender su propia herencia. Victor Gonzales es un ex policía que ahora trabaja como asistente administrativo en McMurdo. Ambos lidian con las heridas del pasado mientas intentan establecer una relación que oscila entre el amor y la amistad. Victor es un hombre racional, materialista y pasional; Jennifer es una mujer empática, espiritual y emocionalmente reprimida. Puntos de vista opuestos intentando comprender la naturaleza de una terrible amenaza. Esta es una historia de terror, suspenso, misterio, ocultismo y ficción científica.
