Overview
Sa kalawakan ng kosmos, kung saan sumasayaw ang mga bituin sa kanilang walang hanggang waltz at umiikot ang mga planeta sa tahimik na mga orbit, namamalagi ang isang mundo na nakalimutan ng panahon. Zephyria, isang pangalan na bumubulong ng mga sinaunang lihim, isang alingawngaw ng mga sibilisasyong nawala sa alabok ng mga eon. Sa ilalim ng walang humpay na pagsisiyasat ng dalawang buwan, ang kanilang kulay-pilak na liwanag na naliligo sa mga buhangin sa isang parang multo na liwanag, ay nakatayo sa isang monumento sa hindi alam. Ang Great Pyramid, isang obsidian colossus na sumasalungat sa pang-unawa ng tao, ay tumataas na parang peklat sa mukha ng planeta, isang enigma na inukit sa mismong bato ng misteryo. Para sa hindi mabilang na millennia, ang natutulog na titan na ito ay nanatiling tahimik, tagapag-alaga ng hindi maarok na mga lihim sa ilalim ng isang star-studded na kalangitan. Ang mga unang kolonista, na naakit ng mga alingawngaw ng hindi maisip na kayamanan, ay dumating sa mga baog nitong dalampasigan na may mga mata na puno ng kasakiman at mga pusong puno ng pag-asa. Hinanap nila ang Luminium, isang mineral na ang kapangyarihan, ang sabi, ay makapagpapagatong sa kanilang mga barko at magpapahaba ng kanilang panandaliang buhay na lampas sa mga limitasyong ipinataw ng kalikasan.

Author Information
Francisco Angulo Madrid, 1976 Enthusiast of fantasy cinema and literature and a lifelong fan of Isaac Asimov and Stephen King, Angulo starts his literary career by submitting short stories to different contests. At 17 he finishes his first book - a collection of poems - and tries to publish it. Far from feeling intimidated by the discouraging responses from publishers, he decides to push ahead and tries even harder. In 2006 he published his first novel ""The Relic"", a science fiction tale that was received with very positive reviews. In 2008 he presented ""Ecofa"" an essay on biofuels, whereAngulorecounts his experiences in the research project he works on. In 2009 he published ""Kira and the Ice Storm"".A difficultbut very productive year, in2010 he completed ""Eco-fuel-FA"", a science book in English. He also worked on several literary projects: ""The Best of 2009-2010"", ""The Legend of Tarazashi 2009-2010"", ""The Sniffer 2010"", ""Destination Havana 2010-2011"" and ""Company No.12"". He currently works as director of research at the Ecofa project. Angulo is the developer of the first 2nd generation biofuel obtained from organic waste fed bacteria. He specialises in environmental issues and science-fiction novels. His expertise in the scientific field is reflected in the innovations and technological advances he talks about in his books, almost prophesying what lies ahead, as Jules Verne didin his time. Francisco Angulo Madrid-1976 Gran aficionado al cine y a la literatura fantástica, seguidor de Asimov y de Stephen King, Comienza su andadura literaria presentando relatos cortos a diferentes certámenes. A los 17 años termina su primer libro, un poemario que intenta publicar sin éxito. Lejos de amedrentarse ante las respuestas desalentadoras de las editoriales, decide seguir adelante, trabajando con más ahínco.
