The spectacular and highly anticipated conclusion to the Bruna Husky series.
In Madrid in 2111, detective Bruna Husky is hired to investigate a terrorist attack at the facilities of Eternal, a major tech company. The first clues lead her to a journalist tracking one of the assailants, but when those involved start disappearing or dying, the trail goes cold. Bruna and her colleague, Inspector Lizard, find themselves ensnared in an increasingly dark enigma—a deadly trap designed by a terrifying criminal mind. Here we find a Bruna Husky filled with rage at the world and, most of all, at herself, as she is no longer a powerful combat technohuman but a weakened calculation android. From this new vulnerability, she must face the most dangerous and devastating case of her entire career.
Difficult Animals confronts the questions we prefer to avoid: our reckless development of an unknown superintelligence, an absolute power we may not be able to control, and one that could become a final, brutal weapon.
Rosa Montero delivers a high-stakes finale to the Bruna Husky series, comprised of Tears in Rain, The Weight of the Heart, and The Times of Hate. Spectacular, thrilling, and dangerous, the formidable detective’s last case is a captivating puzzle of mounting tension with an illuminating conclusion that explores the meaning of life and humanity’s fate.
