El muro

Lanchester, John

Kavanagh arrives at the Wall to join one of the Defender patrols that protect the various sections from invasion attempts by the Others. These foreigners try to climb it from the sea and invade the island country, which must protect itself from the outside since the change occurred, which, among other things, caused a rise in sea level. Kavanagh is obliged to serve two years of service, and the only way to avoid it would be to become a Breed and have a child, an activity that generates reluctance and perplexity in the world after the disaster. The body of Defenders is mixed, and little by little Kavanagh will begin a relationship with Hifa, one of the women. And meanwhile, patrolling the Wall in anticipation of a possible invasion, the days and nights pass, and diffuse fear and penetrating cold accumulate, in an endless wait that can recall that of the military of The Desert of the Tartars. by Buzzati. When the dreaded invasion finally occurs, perhaps nothing will be as expected, perhaps someone not who they seemed to be, perhaps the roles of defenders and invaders are redefined...
