About the Book

Una gran nave extraterrestre se aproxima a la Tierra. Suponemos que sus tripulantes vienen a por algo, pero... ¿y si en lugar de venir a por algo, vienen a por alguien?HORUS es una novela de ciencia ficción, que mereció una Mención Especial del Jurado en el Premio UPC 2012. Una novela en la que se dan la mano el Antiguo Egipto, los viajes espaciales y la biotecnología.El genetista Ted Howard lleva cuatro años trabajando muy duro, obsesionado con la idea de devolverle la vida a una especie extinta: el mamut siberiano. Su hermana, la arqueóloga Nancy Howard, forma parte del equipo que acaba de descubrir una cámara mortuoria bajo la pirámide de Kefrén. Si alguien les dijese que el carguero espacial "Antípodas" ha detectado más allá de la órbita marciana una enorme nave de origen desconocido con rumbo a la Tierra, ambos contestarían lo mismo: "Yo no tengo nada que ver con naves extraterrestres".
Miquel Barceló, organizador del Premio UPC, dijo de HORUS: Esta novela tiene un final tan sorprendente que a los cinco meses de haberlo leído sigo dándole vueltas".
"Al confiarle el secreto la estoy condenando a permanecer en estas instalaciones hasta que yo le dé permiso para abandonarlas. ¿Lo ha entendido?"

About the Author: Manuel Santos Varela, escritor español, nacido en Zaragoza en 1962. Lector impenitente (novela, teatro, poesía, enciclopedias, comics, prospectos, créditos de cine, textos estampados en camisetas, graffitis, inscripciones antiguas...) no ha podido contener la tentación de escribir. Principalmente cultiva la ciencia ficción, pero no le hace ascos a ningún género; de hecho, lo que más le gusta es mezclarlos. Acabó una ingeniería en 1985 y desde 1988 se dedica a la docencia. Casado y padre de familia, cultiva el bello arte de exprimir al límite las 24 horas que tiene cada día. Puedes visitar su blog elescritorensulaberinto.blogspot.com.es
