9788497938518: En el blanco / Whiteout (Spanish Edition)

Synopsis

Estremecedora, absorbente, En el blanco es una obra maestra del thriller, un género que Follett parece reinventar en cada una de sus novelas. Y esta es particularmente peligrosa: cuando se empieza no puede dejarse.

Oxenford Medical, empresa farmacéutica escocesa dedicada a la investigación de vacunas contra los virus más peligrosos, se dispone a pasar las fiestas navideñas bajo un temporal de nieve. La empresa cuenta con los sistemas más avanzados de seguridad, de modo que nadie espera ninguna incidencia seria.

También Stanley Oxenford, propietario de la empresa, se dirige a su casa a pasar la noche con sus hijos. Los problemas entre ellos acabarán estallando, pero pronto quedarán olvidados: sin saberlo, todos ellos van a vivir un infierno. Porque justamente esa noche se produce el robo de un peligrosísimo virus. Los ladrones, sin embargo, quedan atrapados por el temporal. Y, en su errática huida, van a llegar al peor sitio de todos...

Reseña:
«Esta novela absorbente, casi adictiva, recuerda algunas obras maestras de Hitchcock.»
La Voz de Galicia

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

"From #1 international bestselling author Ken Follett, the gripping thriller Whiteout...

Like no other suspense author in his genre, Follett reinvents the thriller with each new novel. But nothing matches the intricate, knife-edge drama of Whiteout...

A missing canister of a deadly virus. A lab technician bleeding from the eyes. Toni Gallo, the security director of a Scottish medical research firm, knows she has problems, but she has no idea of the nightmare to come.

As a Christmas Eve blizzard whips out of the north, several people, Toni among them, converge on a remote family house. All have something to gain or lose from the drug developed to fight the virus. As the storm worsens, the emotional sparks—jealousies, distrust, sexual attraction, rivalries—crackle; desperate secrets are revealed; hidden traitors and unexpected heroes emerge. Filled with startling twists at every turn, Whiteout rockets Follett into a class by himself."

About the Author

Ken Follett nació en Cardiff (Gales), pero cuando tenía diez años su familia se trasladó a Londres. Se licenció en filosofía en la Universidad de Londres y posteriormente trabajó como reportero del South Wales Echo, el periódico de su ciudad natal. Más tarde consiguió trabajo en el Evening News de la capital inglesa y durante esta época publicó, sin mucho éxito, su primera novela. Dejó el periodismo para incorporarse a una editorial pequeña, Everest Books, y mientras tanto continuó escribiendo. Fue su undécima novela la que se convirtió en su primer gran éxito literario.

Ken Follett es uno de los autores más queridos y admirados por los lectores en el mundo entero y la venta total de sus libros supera los ciento cincuenta millones de ejemplares.

Está casado con Barbara Follett, activista política que fue representante parlamentaria del Partido Laborista durante trece años. Viven en Stevenage, al norte de Londres. Para relajarse, asiste al teatro y toca la guitarra con una banda llamada Damn Right I Got the Blues.

En 2010 fue galardonado con el Premio Qué Leer de los lectores por La caída de los gigantes.

Entre su prolífica obra cabe destacar: Los pilares de la Tierra, Noche sobre las aguas, Una fortuna peligrosa, Un lugar llamado libertad, El tercer gemelo, En la boca del dragón, Doble juego, Un mundo sin fin, La caída de los gigantes, El invierno del mundo y El umbral de la eternidad.
