Summary

La primera novela de Laura Fernández, revisada por la autora en el 10.º aniversario de su publicación original.

Bienvenidos a Welcome, un mundo del futuro, repleto de centros comerciales, barrios residenciales y grandes estrellas, donde la vida transcurre como en un plató de televisión. Pero la realidad -una realidad, ciertamente, chocante- está a punto de irrumpir en ese mundo feliz. Un objeto volador no identificado acaba de impactar contra uno de los centros comerciales de la ciudad y se estima que hay miles de muertos.

Los principales medios locales se ponen en marcha y compiten para cubrir la noticia. ¿Se trata de una campaña publicitaria? ¿Están grabando una nueva sitcom? ¿Se enfrenta el alcalde a una revuelta? ¿Se trata del regreso del legendario escritor desaparecido Rondy Rondy? ¿Será verdad que ha muerto Pedro Juan, el actor de moda? Y si es así, ¿quién pondrá fin a la cadena de suicidios de sus desoladas fans? ¿Es que de verdad se trata de un ovni pilotado por un extraterrestre peludo?

Sea como sea, estás a punto de descubrirlo. En el camino, conocerás a la intrépida Lu Ken, a Claudio Arden, el alcalde enano, a Sarah Du, la única superviviente, a la gran diva Anita Velasco y al aspirante a Welcomitzer Clark Roth, entre otras muchas celebridades. Llegas en buen momento, porque después de todo esto, Welcome nunca volverá a ser el mismo.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

Welcome to Welcome
Laura Fernandez’ first novel, now newly revised by the author on its 10th anniversary.
 
Welcome to Welcome, a futuristic world, full of shopping centers, beautiful residential neighborhoods, and big movies and TV stars, where life happens just like on a television set. But the reality - a shocking reality - is about to interrupt that happy world. An unidentified flying object has just crashed into one of the city's shopping centers and it seems there might be thousands of deaths.
 
The main local media launch into action and compete to cover the news. Could it be an advertising campaign? Are they recording a new sitcom? Is the mayor facing a citizen uprising? Is it the return of the legendary writer Rondy Rondy who had been missing? Is it true that Pedro Juan, the fashionable actor, has died? And if so, who will put an end to the chain of suicides by his depressed fans? Is it really a UFO piloted by a furry alien?
 
Whatever it may be, you are about to discover it, and you come at a great time, because after all this, Welcome will never be the same again.
