About the Book

Una escalofriante aventura futurista que arroja nueva luz a nuestra forma de vivir, Cuchillo de agua es la primera novela adulta de Paolo Bacigalupi después de la aclamadísima, multipremiada e internacionalmente exitosa La chica mecánica.

LÉELA ANTES DE QUE LA REALIDAD SUPERE LA FICCIÓN.

Cuando el río Colorado se seca, el sur de EEUU se convierte en el escenario desértico de una guerra porel agua.


El autor de la multipremiada La chica mecánica nos brinda un escalofriante thriller futurista que arroja una nueva luz sobre cómo vivimos actualmente... y lo que nos depara el futuro si no cambiamos de rumbo.
En un futuro no muy lejano, tras siglos de sobre explotación, el río Colorado, inmenso y caudaloso, se está secando. La catástrofe obliga a miles de habitantes de los territorios implicados a emigrar a zonas más fértiles de los EE.UU. Pero los estados construyen barreras para impedir la marea de
refugiados que se les viene encima. A medida que la sequía se extiende y se prolonga, el campo y las ciudades se convierten en páramos sin ley, presa de especuladores que comercian con la desesperación de los seres humanos.

Entre Vegas y Phoenix, dos de las ciudades más afectadas, se gesta una guerra por el agua. Las Vegas, la legendaria ciudad convertida en un nido de terroristas, espías y asesinos a sueldo de Catherine Case, la «reina del río Colorado», se protege a sangre y fuego. Mientras Phoenix, devorada poco a poco por el desierto de Arizona, se aferra a una compañía china que perfora la tierra en busca de nuevos acuíferos.

Ángel Velásquez, mercenario en la nómina de Case, viaja a Phoenix para descubrir el secreto de un sistema revolucionario para obtener agua. La persona que busca es Lucy Monroe, una periodista curtida que se debate entre el deseo de quedarse para documentar el caos que se extiende por la ciudad y el pánico que le provoca lo que podrían saber sobre ella los asesinos de su amigo James, quién murió torturado después de desvelarle información privilegiada. Ángel también conocerá allí a la joven María, hija de un emigrante mexicano, que sueña con escaparse al norte, donde dicen que la tierra sigue poblado de lagos y el agua todavía cae del cielo.
Ángel, Lucy y María se convertirán en peones en manos de quienes pretenden controlar la fuente de la vida. Con la ciudad de Phoenix viniéndose abajo y el tiempo a punto de acabarse, no les queda más remedio que depender los unos de los otros para sobrevivir. Pero en un escenario en el que el agua vale más que el oro, las alianzas resultan tan movedizas como la arena.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

In the near future, the Colorado River has dwindled to a trickle. Detective, assassin, and spy, Angel Velasquez "cuts" water for the Southern Nevada Water Authority, ensuring that its lush arcology developments can bloom in Las Vegas. When rumors of a game-changing water source surface in Phoenix, Angel is sent south, hunting for answers that seem to evaporate as the heat index soars and the landscape becomes more and more oppressive. There, he encounters Lucy Monroe, a hardened journalist with her own agenda, and Maria Villarosa, a young Texas migrant, who dreams of escaping north. As bodies begin to pile up, the three find themselves pawns in a game far bigger and more corrupt than they could have imagined, and when water is more valuable than gold, alliances shift like sand, and the only truth in the desert is that someone will have to bleed if anyone hopes to drink.
