by Jordi Matamoros
The renowned professor of mineralogy Leonid Kulik, is appointed to carry out the investigation of a great explosion that took place in 1980, June the 30th, in the Siberian tundra of Tunguska. Together with his assistant, good friend and also professor Alekséi, he will enter an inhospitable territory considered cursed by the locals, who attribute the disaster to divine punishment. Superstitions, the weather and the difficulties of the road will not prevent them from locating the epicenter where a meteorite allegedly impacted, allegedly destroying more than 10 million trees. There they will find something very different from what they expected: no trace of a crater or a fireball, although, anchored in the air, an oval object of unknown nature, waiting to be found. The investigation of what clearly appears to be an extraterrestrial ship, will trigger a series of events in which the teachers will be involved. A Nazi secret society, commanded by the Führer himself, will traverse time to the very cradle of humanity, to discover that nothing is as they have told us. * * * El reconocido profesor de mineralogía Leonid Kulik, es designado para llevar a cabo la investigación de una gran explosión que tuvo lugar el 30 de junio de 1908 en la tundra siberiana de Tunguska. Junto a su ayudante, buen amigo y también profesor Alekséi, se adentrará en un inhóspito territorio considerado maldito por los lugareños, que atribuyen el desastre a un castigo divino. Las supersticiones, el clima y las dificultades del camino no impedirán que localicen el epicentro en el que supuestamente impactó un meteorito que habría arrasado más de 10 millones de árboles. Allí hallarán algo muy distinto a lo que esperaban: ni rastro de cráter ni de bólido, aunque sí, anclado en el aire, un objeto oval de naturaleza desconocida, esperando a ser encontrado. La investigación de lo que a todas luces parece ser una nave extraterrestre, desencadenará una serie de acontecimientos en los que los profesores se verán implicados. Una sociedad secreta nazi, comandada por el Führer en persona, surcará el tiempo hasta la misma cuna de la humanidad, para descubrir que allí nada es como nos lo han contado.
