Barcelona! That's where it all began.
Barcelona, Spain, Earth that is. Not some other Barcelona on some unknown planet on the other side of the galaxy. Barcelona was where he first met them. Hitchhiking through Europe to find himself, instead he found a gaggle of little blue humanoids. They told him of a newly terraformed planet, and that he'd be the one to populate it.
Barcelona is where Zed returned ten years later with Sonya, now his wife, their convertible Jaguar and their best friends, Charlie and Charlie, two brilliant engineers. That is where the Azulitos, the little blue people, got them started on a path that would lead to the planet Sagrada hundreds of light years away.
This is a story of a young boy growing up, making friends, making decisions, falling in love, and facing his traumas. It is a story of the music of the 70s and 80s. Of classic cars and new cars. Of people and places of Europe and Asia. Of engineering and science. Of crime and resolution. Of the ordinary irritations of life on earth. Of a community of average people on a trajectory into the stars. A chronicle of mediocrats.
At the end of Sagrada (book one) the mission to settle a new planet succeeded, but now what?
Oh! My goodness! It couldn't go more wrong!
Colonisation of the planet is about as derailed as you can imagine.
There's a dreadful shortage of just about every resource and a tyrannical despot has stepped into the vacuum at the top of the leaderless mediocracy. Who is this new dictator? Where are Zed and Sonya when you need them? How can people live and love under such fear and oppression? And then the killing starts.
Esperanza somehow escapes, but what can one woman do alone?
Don't miss this thrilling revenge story as Esperanza returns from obscurity to turn a whole nation upside down and restore the hope that was lost.
Sagrada is full of music. There are songs explicitly mentioned by the characters. There are others obscurely hidden away in the text.
Thirty one songs are captured in a Spotify playlist. See if you can find them in the story.
And let us know if you find any more that we missed on the playlist!
Apparently Esperanza continues this tradition with another 29 songs!
