Al filo del tiempo
"Al Filo del Tiempo" (Edge of Time) by David Grinnell This Spanish-language science fiction novel follows journalist Warren Alton as he investigates a series of bizarre sightings in upstate New York. Farmer William Bassett encounters a prehistoric jungle with two-meter-tall dinosaurs; two boys glimpse a distant golden-domed city in a valley that vanishes when they return with witnesses; airplane passengers observe three massive leather-winged creatures flying at high speed; and townspeople witness a volcanic eruption that leaves no physical evidence. Other reports describe strange animals on roads and fields. Editor C.B. Carlyle assigns Alton to uncover the story's true nature, believing these incidents—all concentrated in one geographical region—point to a major news story. Alton begins investigating, puzzled by the lack of coherent pattern connecting the disparate phenomena.
