Reseña del libro "Krillion City (en Inglés)"
Krillion City Having witnessed a militia gutting his underwater city of its inhabitants, Finn Dolp embarks upon an adventure to reclaim his former way of life, one which opens new horizons and a new existence for him and his amphibian race. Synopsis In the twenty-second century, a portion of humanity has become amphibian. With webbed hands and feet, exceptional capacity and endurance for undersea living, these amphibians, called aquas, are the inhabitants of underwater cities that they built on the edges of the continents which have been redefined by the rising sea levels. The underwater cities have been constructed under pressurized domes where sunlight can penetrate and plants can grow. The demographic pressure on the ravaged continents pushes the rest of humanity to seek new living space. The underwater cities become prime territories to conquer. The aquas are deported to uninhabited islands, deemed unfit for human settlement. The young aqua Finn meets and befriends the people who live on the island, learning their way of life. He makes an adventurous voyage of exploration to find the other shore of the island, and there he finds other deportees from his underwater home, including his lover, Shelly. Together they decide to retake their lost cities, and embark on a journey of reconquest. They form alliances with all who have been victims of the same injustice, and with the island-dweller Vizu. Led by Finn, they launch an assault, starting with his own lost underwater city. They will have to fight against the militia of the new owner of the city, Pulvock, an unscrupulous businessman and real-estate developer. In the course of the battle, the city is flooded. The new inhabitants, humans from the continent, have fled to the surface and remain stranded at the access ports. But the aquas don't have the means to rebuild the city. Finally, they retreat to return to the island where they had been living since their deportation. Life in the open air is different, but there they find security and a new way of life. New challenges await them. They will have to attempt to build a new society with all those living on the island, reconciling their differences and their beliefs.
