Christopher John Libros
Este autor explora la condición humana en circunstancias extremas, centrándose a menudo en el impacto psicológico de la catástrofe y el aislamiento. Su obra ofrece una aguda visión de cómo se comportan las personas cuando se ven obligadas a afrontar amenazas existenciales, ya sea por desastres naturales o colapso social. Se mueve con fluidez entre géneros, desde la ficción especulativa hasta el romance gótico y los thrillers de detectives, siempre con un profundo interés en las dinámicas interpersonales y la psicología de los personajes que forman el núcleo de sus narrativas.

Long ago, the Tripods—huge, three-legged machines—descended upon Earth and took control. Now people unquestioningly accept the Tripods' power. They have no control over their thoughts or their lives.But for a brief time in each person's life—in childhood—he is not a slave. For Will, his time of freedom is about to end—unless he can escape to the White Mountains, where the possibility of freedom still exists.
Will narrates further fight against alien Tripods. With taciturn Fritz, peddlers recruit more rebels. In four years, a spaceship will bring machines that poison Earth air for the Masters. Leader Julius sends Will, his cousin Henry, brilliant scientist 'Beanpole' Jean-Paul against the three Cities. Can they capture a subject for experiments and save the world?
Rebelling against the monotonous life of the moon colony, two boys go beyond its boundaries and discover a series of caves ruled by a super-intelligent plant-like being.
