What if everything going wrong now is much worse in fifty years’ time?
In an impoverished, harsh and politically apathetic society where a cruel sport, Spartana, has become the global equivalent of the Roman Circus, Vega Stark, a young athlete struggling to find a place in the world of science, will find herself faced with a challenge that could be crucial for humanity.
Gómez Cadenas, in the same style as The Hunger Games, presents an intelligent portrayal of the society we are in danger of succumbing to, where love, friendship, loyalty and resilience are key to survival. This is a novel whose every word is a pleasure but that needs to be read with a critical eye.
