A precursor of cosmic horror, Husson has employed the resources we've seen in Lovecraft and many others years before it was cool. I have to say that half the book had this surreal ambient that although well-written it's far from my taste. On the other hand, the horror/survival part of the book, the one set on planet Earth was so compelling, so thrilling, and naturally horrifying that I thoroughly enjoyed those parts. For next readers, skip the following chapters: la llanura del Silencio, la tierra, el mar del sueño, el despertar, and all the others up to "Pepper", Pepper not included. Since I only liked half the book, I'll score it 6/10 but it could potentially be more.
