Why a Booktrail?
2000s: A man sits with his family in a restaurant. He leaves the table…and subsequently disappears.
Infinite Ground
What you need to know before your trail
During a sweltering South American summer, a family convenes for dinner at a restaurant. Midway through the meal, Carlos disappears. An experienced, semi-retired inspector takes the case, but what should be a routine investigation becomes something strange, intangible, even sinister.
The corporation for which Carlos worked seems to serve no purpose; the staff talk of their missing colleague’s alarming, shifting physical symptoms; a forensic scientist uncovers evidence of curious abnormalities in the thriving microorganisms that shared Carlos’s body.
As the inspector relives and retraces the missing man’s footsteps, the trail leads him away from the city sprawl and deep into the country’s rainforest interior, where he encounters both horror and wonder.
Travel Guide
A surreal world
One where you think you might be hallucinating or dreaming at least and a world in which you might not wake up from
Characters and environments are vague. Symbolism is strong – paranoia,a world where the landscape is dystopian where you don’t recognise anything or anyone.
Obsession, identity and transformation are just three of the characters you travel with down the rio Parana to the most remote and savage part of the Amazon rainforest. Nothing here is really understood, it’s a world still largely unexplored.
You’d better hope you get out alive.
