In the not-too-distant-future, in a country mired in an economic and social crisis, at a time when thousands of unemployed people crowd into tents in front of corporate offices and incredibly long lines form in welfare offices and social care centers, the system continues to find ways to exploit the weak for the benefit of a privileged few in this compelling novel. But in the face of a group of unscrupulous financiers and politicians united by the same interest in dominating and controlling society, an anarchist movement is born out of spontaneous rebellious groups and gains popular support. Three women in particular face off against those in power in the midst of the biggest economic crisis in Spain's history, one that has surpassed all expectations and in which most citizens suffer due to decisions made for the benefit of the most powerful few. En un futuro cercano, en un pais convulso por la crisis economica y social, mientras miles de parados se apinan en tiendas de campana frente a las principales instituciones y larguisimas colas se forman en las oficinas de empleo y centros de atencion social, el sistema sigue consiguiendo maneras de explotar a los debiles para generar mas riqueza para unos pocos en esta absorbente novela. Pero frente a un grupo de financieros y politicos sin escrupulos unidos por el mismo interes de dominar y controlar la sociedad, un movimiento antisistema nace de los grupos espontaneos de indignados y goza de apoyo popular. Tres mujeres en particular se enfrentan al poder en el marco de la peor crisis economica de la historia de Espana, una que ha desbordado todas las expectativas y en la que muchos ciudadanos sufren por los manejos en favor de los intereses financieros y politicos de los mas poderosos. Una novela que en el trasfondo de la crisis economica que oprime a la sociedad espanola. Relata la historia apasionante de tres mujeres que se enfrentaran al poder en busca de su propio destino. Amigas en la desgracia cada una llegara al activismo social por un motivo distinto. A lo largo de siete anos, entre 2011 y 2018, viviran muchas aventuras, sufriran un miedo atroz a desaparecer sin causa aparente, pero tambien amaran y convertiran su vida en una ilusion permanente por la libertad y el cambio. Un thriller narrado en clave futurista, en el entorno apocaliptico en el que ha derivado una crisis economica que ha desbordado todas las expectativas: Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
