Donantes de sueño

Donantes de sueño

Russell, Karen

An epidemic of insomnia is rocking the United States. Thousands of people die after weeks without being able to fall asleep; they fall exhausted, plunged into utter despair and devoured by madness. Trish Edgewater works as a recruiter for the Sleepover Brigades, a non-profit organization that seeks sleep donors: people willing to give up some of their rest hours and save the lives of a few insomniacs with their transfusions. Trish is an exemplary recruiter, whose talent can only be explained through her biography: her sister Dori was one of the first fatalities of the sleeping crisis, and the emotional account of her agony and death makes Trish's recruiting speech practically infallible. However, when Baby A, the first universal sleep donor, and Donor Y, whose tainted transfusions unleash a wave of inhuman nightmares, enter the scene, Trish begins to question the ethical limits of a seemingly altruistic profession.
