La Isla de La Pasion: Una Novela - Softcover
En 1908, el capitan mexicano Ramon Arnaud y su esposa adolescente parten hacia un pequeno atolon en el Pacifico, conocido por los exploradores espanoles como la Isla de la Pasion. Acompanado de once soldados y sus familias, el capitan tiene ordenes de defender la isla ante la improbable invasion francesa. Con su peligroso arrecife de coral y una laguna estancada, la isla es amenazadora e inhospita y sus nuevos habitantes deben luchar para sobrevivir. Logran crear una comunidad viable, pero entre la agitacion politica en su pais y los comienzos de la primera Guerra Mundial, se ven olvidados en medio del Pacifico. Abandonados a la intemperie, uno a uno van cayendo victimas del escorbuto, el hambre, la desesperacion, la rivalidad, la lujuria y la irremediable violencia. Alicia, una mujer resuelta e ingeniosa termina convirtiendose en el punto de apoyo para los demas, cuya supervivencia dependera en su valentia y astucia."
