Cada una de sus novelas se desarrolla en un contexto diferente, explorando cómo estos sistemas impactan en la sociedad y sus habitantes.

Apagón es la descripción de la más cruda realidad que conmociona al mundo. Es una obra maestra que nos muestra los más diversos personajes que, mezclados en múltiples circunstancias, tienen que ver con las labores de una renombrada empresa de energía eléctrica norteamericana...
