Stella Maris 2015

“An astonishing yet meticulously researched novel that makes you question the reality we live in and blends our fascination with the unknown with drama, quantum physics, and extraterrestrial life. Emilio Calderón has masterfully navigated this dangerous circle.” — Javier Sierra

Bernardo Pastor-Luján, a renowned theoretical physics professor who advocates for the existence of parallel universes, leads a quiet and solitary life ever since losing his wife and daughter during childbirth. However, for the past thirty years, he has dreamt of them, watching them grow and age in his dreams, day by day, as if they were alive. These recurring dreams have helped him avoid despair.

One day, the professor receives an invitation from the writer Javier Sierra to attend a lecture by a colleague, biophysics professor John Bradley, who studies crop circles—complex figures that appear in English fields during the summer, surrounded by controversy; incredible stories that Pastor-Luján himself suspects are fraudulent.

Following a profound impression during the lecture, the skeptical professor begins to investigate the possibility that his daughter was not stillborn, a search that leads him to Wiltshire, England. There, during the height of crop circle season, and thanks to a thrilling plot, events unfold rapidly.

Everything culminates in an unpredictable ending, as everyone harbors unspeakable secrets—secrets that will leave readers breathless right up to the very last page.
