About the Book

Finalista del Locus Award 2021 MÁS DE 150.000 LECTORES ESPERAN LA NUEVA NOVELA DEL AUTOR DE GUERRA MUNDIAL Z Greenloop fue, hasta la inesperada erupción del Rainier, una selecta comunidad ecológica. Ubicada en los bosques del estado de Washington, a poca distancia de Seattle, ofrecía una vida idílica a sus habitantes, gracias a unos avances tecnológicos que estaban en comunión con la naturaleza. Ahora, de entre los escombros y los rastros de sangre de la urbanización, han podido recuperarse los diarios de Kate Holland. En ellos se relata una historia demasiado espantosa para ser olvidada, tan horrenda que podría romper nuestras convicciones. Incluso las más firmes, como la solidez de nuestra civilización. En las páginas de Involución, Max Brooks no solo hace público por primera vez el extraordinario testimonio de Kate, sino que también expone los resultados de su propia investigación sobre la masacre de Greenloop y sobre las letales criaturas que la llevaron a cabo, seres con un aura legendaria pero que se han revelado como terroríficamente reales. ¿DE QUÉ SOMOS CAPACES CUANDO QUEDAMOS AISLADOS DE LA SOCIEDAD? ENGLISH DESCRIPTION Finalists Vie for the 2021 Locus Awards The #1 bestselling author of World War Z returns with a horror tale that blurs the lines between human and beast, and asks, What are we capable of when we’re cut off from society? “I wish we could elevate the national dialogue on public safety to a level of tone and focus that Max Brooks has demonstrated for all of us.”—Tom Ridge, former governor of Pennsylvania and first secretary of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security   Set in the wilds of Washington State, Greenloop was once a model eco-community—until nature’s wrath made it a tragic object lesson in civilization’s fragility.    Offering a glorious back-to-nature experience with all the comforts of high-speed Internet, solar smart houses, and the assurance of being mere hours from Seattle by highway, Greenloop was indeed a paradise—until Mount Rainier erupted, leaving its residents truly cut off from the world, and utterly unprepared for the consequences. With no weapons and their food supplies dwindling, Greenloop’s residents slowly realized that they were in a fight for survival. And as the ash swirled and finally settled, they found themselves facing a specter none of them could have predicted—or even thought possible. . . .   In these pages, Max Brooks brings to light the journals of resident Kate Holland, recovered from the town’s bloody wreckage, faithfully reproducing her words alongside his own investigations into the massacre that followed and the legendary beasts behind it. If what Kate saw in those days is real, then we must accept the impossible. We must accept that the creature known as Bigfoot walks among us—and that it is a beast of terrible strength and ferocity.   Part survival narrative, part bloody horror tale, part scientific journey into the boundaries between truth and fiction, this is a Bigfoot story as only Max Brooks could chronicle it—and like none you’ve ever read before.

Review :
La crítica ha dicho... «Una magistral novela sobre el caos, tan adictiva como bien escrita.»- Juan Gómez-Jurado «Una historia visceral de supervivencia y terror.»- Financial Times «Después de atraerte con un arsenal de veracidad, Brooks rompe en pedazos tu inocencia, como un simio gigante machacando un cráneo con la única ayuda de sus manos. Involución hará que te lo pienses dos veces antes de reservar un fin de semana en un lugar remoto en plena naturaleza.»- SciFiNow «Una mezcla magistral de sátira social y terror extremo.»- David Sedaris, autor de Calypso «Tiene una ambientación magnífica, una atmósfera claustrofóbica, un reparto diverso y fascinante, y sobre todo mucha acción. Una historia completamente original que mantendrá altísimo el pulso de los lectores.»- Library Journal «¡Otra novela triunfal de Max Brooks! Primero, los zombis. Ahora, Bigfoot. No puedo más que esperar a que convierta a cada uno de los monstruos de la infancia en una novela adictiva, inteligente y entretenida.»- Stephen Chbosky, autor de Amigo imaginario y Las ventajas de ser un marginado «Brooks siempre mete en sus tramas acción, información y atmósfera, y sabe destacar tanto el heroísmo como las debilidades de sus personajes. Esta novela de combustión continua gustará a los fans acérrimos de Brooks y a los lectores de ficción especulativa a los que les gustan las historias de monstruos.»- Publishers Weekly «Involución es una de las mayores novelas de terror que he leído. Los personajes son redondos, el trasfondo de la novela es genial y todo lo demás te va a asustar como jamás imaginaste.»- Blake Crouch, autor de Dark Matter y Recursion «Formidable ... Una historia de furia sobrenatural que hará las delicias de los seguidores de Stephen King y Michael Crichton.»- Kirkus Reviews
