A fast-paced thriller with

Action

From the first moment, readers will be able to feel the adrenaline through the protagonists. Whether during the Vietnam War in the past, or today, the characters will be forced into extreme situations that will require all their reflexes, both physical and mental.

Deception

Throughout the entire plot, both in the past and today, the characters will be aware at all times of the fragile balance between truth and lies. Faced with a very fragile international geopolitical situation, the line that separates enemies from allies is diluted.

History

Although this is a fictional novel, its plot is based on real historical events: The presence of Spanish soldiers during the Vietnam War. This starting point serves to create a fiction story with which to connect the past and the present, both in Vietnam and in Spain.

Criticism

Readers will witness numerous events throughout the development of the story. In them, criticism of burning social issues such as the consequences of political corruption, the importance of caring for mental health or the negative impact of machismo in traditional societies, among others, will be palpable.

Drama

A dramatic situation serves as a starting point and emotional trigger for the protagonists. Along their way they will not only have to travel great geographical distances, but also emotional ones, as well as overcome situations of great tension that will test their limits.

Tourism

Following in the footsteps of the protagonists, readers will discover unique places in Vietnam. They will be able to do it not only with detailed descriptions, but also with the use of geolocation so that they can perfectly see each location. All of this with the aim of encouraging them to visit them in the future.

Main characters

In The Stone Lotus, readers will follow in the footsteps of Intelligence officer Carla Romero Vázquez to discover what really happened to her grandfather, Medical Captain Alberto Romero de Soto. In doing so, she will come across different characters who can become great allies, but also hide unsuspected dangers.
