Overview
Nella vastità del cosmo, dove le stelle danzano il loro valzer eterno e i pianeti ruotano in orbite silenziose, si trova un mondo dimenticato dal tempo. Zephyria, un nome che sussurra antichi segreti, eco di civiltà perse nella polvere degli eoni. Sotto lo sguardo incessante di due lune, la cui luce argentata bagna le dune in un bagliore spettrale, si erge un monumento all'ignoto. La Grande Piramide, un colosso di ossidiana che sfida la comprensione umana, si erge come una cicatrice sulla faccia del pianeta, un enigma scolpito nella pietra stessa del mistero. Per innumerevoli millenni, questo titano addormentato rimase silenzioso, custode di segreti insondabili sotto un firmamento costellato di stelle. I primi coloni, attirati da voci di ricchezze inimmaginabili, arrivarono sulle sue sponde aride con gli occhi pieni di avidità e il cuore colmo di speranza. Cercavano il Luminium, un minerale il cui potere, si diceva, poteva alimentare le loro navi ed estendere le loro vite fugaci oltre i limiti imposti dalla natura. Ma la piramide, impermeabile ai loro sforzi, rimase sigillata. Le sue camere oscure, labirinti di saggezza aliena, resistevano a ogni tentativo di profanazione. La Grande Piramide aspettava, paziente come le montagne, eterna come le stelle, l'arrivo del prescelto.

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.
