ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

Welcome to Welcome
Laura Fernandez' first novel, now newly revised by the author on its 10th anniversary.

Welcome to Welcome, a futuristic world, full of shopping centers, beautiful residential neighborhoods, and big movies and TV stars, where life happens just like on a television set. But the reality - a shocking reality - is about to interrupt that happy world. An unidentified flying object has just crashed into one of the city's shopping centers and it seems there might be thousands of deaths.

The main local media launch into action and compete to cover the news. Could it be an advertising campaign? Are they recording a new sitcom? Is the mayor facing a citizen uprising? Is it the return of the legendary writer Rondy Rondy who had been missing? Is it true that Pedro Juan, the fashionable actor, has died? And if so, who will put an end to the chain of suicides by his depressed fans? Is it really a UFO piloted by a furry alien?

Whatever it may be, you are about to discover it, and you come at a great time, because after all this, Welcome will never be the same again.
