Los Vivientes

Matt de la Pena

A compulsive thriller as told through a close and believable narrator names Shy. He just got her dream job: working on a luxury cruise line. He’ll rake in the tips and be able to help his mom and sister out with the bills. Plus, there’ll be lots of bikinis, free food, maybe even a girl or two … every cruise has a fresh crop of passengers, after all. But then, an earthquake more massive than any ever recorded hits California and Shy’s life quickly becomes a nightmare as giant waves cause the cruise ship to begin to sink. Twenty-four hours and a catastrophic chain of events later, Shy is lost at sea, fighting to survive. Un thriller que se lee de manera compulsiva y que cuenta con un protagonista entranable y absolutamente creible. Dicho protagonista es un adolescente llamado Shy, quien acaba de conseguir el empleo sonado: trabajar en un crucero. Ahora no solo tiene dinero para ayudar a su madre y a su hermana, sino que tambien le alcanza para sus gastos personales. Pero esto no es todo. El ambiente a bordo de estos barcos de lujo es sensacional. Hay chicas hermosas en bikini, comida gratis y mucha diversion. Pero un suceso inesperado hace que el sueno se convierta en pesadilla. Big One, el terremoto mas grande que se registra en Norteamerica, provoca olas gigantes y el crucero comienza a hundirse. Asi, lo que parece una travesia tranquila se convierte en un infierno que lo obligara a recurrir a toda su inteligencia y determinacion para sobrevivir. Esta novela va mas alla del genero de desastres para trazar una alegoria de nuestra epoca.
