Produktbeschreibung

Kira and the Ice Storm transports us back into Angulo's chilling literary landscape, where an otherworldly ice storm of apocalyptic proportions threatens to freeze all life as we know it.

Critics and fans alike have been eagerly awaiting Angulo's latest offering. His previous works garnered much acclaim, with the Los Angeles Times declaring that Angulo "breathes life into fictional worlds more captivating than our own." Meanwhile, the Chicago Tribune dubbed him "the next giant of speculative fiction."

Indeed, Angulo's books have built him a devoted cult following. The electrifying plot twists and propulsive action of his novels leave readers grasping their book covers white-knuckled. Yet beyond the exhilarating sci-fi trappings, Angulo imbues his work with philosophical depth and moral resonance.

At the heart of the series is Kira, the fiercely intelligent and courageous heroine who anchors these stories. With Kira and the Ice Storm, Angulo has woven another thought-provoking tale exploring fundamental questions of humanity and existence, all while keeping readers racing through pages well past their bedtimes.

Angulo's scrupulous attention to scientific plausibility and research into futuristic technologies bring a stark realism to his works, heightening the sense of impending dread. While disaster awaits, hope endures in the unbreakable human spirit embodied by Kira as she and her band of fellow survivors navigate unimaginable threats.

So brace yourselves as Angulo ushers us again to the brink of ruin and back. But no matter how icy the tempest, Kira's flame never wavers. And Angulo fans wouldn't have it any other way.

Autorenporträt

Francisco Angulo Madrid, 1976

Enthusiast of fantasy cinema and literature and a lifelong fan of Isaac Asimov and Stephen King, Angulo starts his literary career by submitting short stories to different contests. At 17 he finishes his first book - a collection of poems - and tries to publish it. Far from feeling intimidated by the discouraging responses from publishers, he decides to push ahead and tries even harder.

In 2006 he published his first novel "The Relic", a science fiction tale that was received with very positive reviews. In 2008 he presented "Ecofa" an essay on biofuels, whereAngulorecounts his experiences in the research project he works on. In 2009 he published "Kira and the Ice Storm".A difficultbut very productive year, in2010 he completed "Eco-fuel-FA",a science book in English. He also worked on several literary projects: "The Best of 2009-2010", "The Legend of Tarazashi 2009-2010", "The Sniffer 2010", "Destination Havana 2010-2011" and "Company No.12".

He currently works as director of research at the Ecofa project. Angulo is the developer of the first 2nd generation biofuel obtained from organic waste fed bacteria. He specialises in environmental issues and science-fiction novels.

His expertise in the scientific field is reflected in the innovations and technological advances he talks about in his books, almost prophesying what lies ahead, as Jules Verne didin his time.
