El caso del planeta asesinado

El caso del planeta asesinado

Escalera, Manuel de la

Life on the moon is changing. From the worship of the gods and the use of the sword has passed to the victory of science and the discovery of atomic energy. Everything has been sped up thanks to the advice of a young commoner to a lunar monarch. And both aspire to more: after managing to unite the different factions of their country, they will turn their gaze to new moons on the horizon, where they will meet radically different societies from their own. However, the future does not look too good. Such is the story that, between sips of brandy, Elías reels his friend Miguel from him in a cafe on a central street in the city. A scientific-political fiction, a fantastic narrative in a careful style, which announces and imagines ourselves from a distance and warns us of imminent dangers. Authoritarianism and oppression, the clash between powers, the risks of war, technical progress, the search for an absolute truth, excessive ambition... what if the corpse of the moon that shines in the sky today was a flourishing planet but convulsed victim of a terrible crime?
