Rodeado de grandes figuras históricas como Sandro Botticelli y Nicolás Maquiavelo, Leonardo disfruta de la privilegiada vida del artista y ama a una joven increíblemente hermosa. Pero un enemigo cruel y despiadado está tramando su caída. El gran artista e inventor se verá obligado a abandonar la ciudad que lo vio nacer, dando así lugar a un mítico viaje hacia su destino, una aventura magnífica que podría haber sucedido.

Y tampoco lo tendra la Humanidad.

When Ned Wheeler sets out on a journey from the overly pious yet ribald community that is Junctionsituated on the outskirts of Hellhe has a nagging doubt that all is not right with the world. The appearance of a winged and many-eyed bird beast had been seen by the god-fearing townsfolk as a portent of the end of days and their fears and suspicions, directed toward Ned, persuade him to follow the beast into Hell itself. Little can he imagine the consequences of his actions, let alone comprehend the ensuing events...events that will cause him to question the very fabric of his existence and the reality of the world around him."Junction is where Ursula Le Guins The Lathe of Heaven and Tony Bouchers The Quest for Saint Aquin meet...and yet it is an entirely new novel...I may very well be basing some of my future work on Junction."Philip K. Dick

It is the Brave New World and 1984 for our time, for it gives us a glimpse into our own future a future ruled by corporations that control deadly and powerful forms of mass manipulation. It is a prediction of what could happen...tomorrow. The Man Who Melted examines how technology affects us and changes our morality, and it questions how we might remain human in an inhuman world.
