Jose Carlos Somoza is one of the most popular Spanish writers, the winner of the Golden Dagger Award and many other literary awards (Silver Dagger Awards and Gold Dagger Awards, Nadal Prize, Cervantes Theater Prize, Cafe Gijon Prize).
In the novel of Somoza Croatoan strange events take place. September 6 (in the near future) the world goes crazy: people and animals, snakes and insects go in whole colonies, crawl, fly, fly - in a single rhythm, a single body - through cities, forests, mountains and swamps. Any living creatures met in the way either pour into an ominous procession or die on the spot. Governments of different countries, police, scientists, journalists are lost in conjecture, not understanding what is happening, because almost the entire planet is covered by a total epidemic. Television screens go out, the connection ceases to operate. The disappearance of all forms of civilization is coming. This apocalypse was foreseen by Professor Carlos Mandel, a specialist in animal behavior, who committed suicide two years ago. Before his death, he programmed the sending of several loved ones, including his student, a biologist Carmele Garsez, a message that could help change the course of these terrible events. But will they be able to understand this signal, because the message consists of the only word - “Croatoan”? This inscription was found on a distant island, where in the sixteenth century the entire population mysteriously disappeared
