La saga de los Aznar

"La saga de los Aznar" is a work of science fiction writer Spanish Pascual Enguídanos. He is considered the best European science fiction series since he received this award in the EuroCon in Brussels in 1978.

The work of Enguídanos represents the Spanish equivalent of that based on science fiction and adventure in space opera that populate the North American pulp of the thirties and forties, trend in which were forged great authors such as E. E. Doc Smith, Jack Williamson and Edmond Hamilton. The book maintains the attractiveness of its adventurous nature and nostalgia for a bygone era. It has a distinctly epic war and dominate the events and all kinds of adventures, while collecting a certain respect for science and technology which are not as battered as other works of that time. Only acknowledges having copied the term of orbimotor Jose Elola, Colonel Ignotus, on the other hand, remains more or less the aesthetics of Alex Raymond, Flash Gordon: not in vain his prose is very visual. Enguídanos feels a special weakness for the planets kind Mongo, with its mix of future and archaic, feudal regimes, princes and lords despotic, primitive peoples oppressed, and, of course, men of silicon, insect men, floor men, or men fish, and even as the man nahumitas men, who are the most dangerous of all.

But if the reflexes of his early works brought to the space-opera classic very soon the Saga of Aznar was leading towards a very unique epic among the stars where we find the trace of classical myths. If Aeneas escaped from destroyed Troy to cross a sea unknown and found a distant colony which would be the birthplace of an empire, Rome and the first Aznar lead the survivors of the invasion of Earth by an alien species to a distant star where rebuild the lost homeland, Inci thereby Saga in the collective ownership of the people valerano (Valera, an original 'autoplaneta') heirs of mankind.

Enguídanos wrote a story for the future of humanity through a long and intense series of novels in what is undoubtedly a number unparalleled in all of science fiction. He works in the Saga far more than required and became editor will work this river in a very unique piece of science-fiction world. The Saga is an example of how it came to write science fiction before the massive invasion of American productions of 60 and 70 of the twentieth century, which generated codes and visual environment from which escape is very difficult at present. In Saga, futuristic technology meets a very specific logic and, of course, own and wonderfully original: "DEDON 'metal hyperdensity that repels the gravity low electric induction," siderocetos "(ships that simulate space forms cetacean), the sidereal armed with millions and millions of ships in battle over the fate of mankind, Z-rays or disintegration, "sunlight" as a lethal weapon or as interstellar propellant, the fabulous machines Karendon (inclusive of the field as the famous Star Trek transporters but brought here to their logical conclusion). Beyond the adventures of war and futuristic, Saga is also a very comprehensive utopian science fiction. The future society where live actors have all the elements that characterize it as utopian, where the money is not there and automation has freed the human race from work. But utopias of science fiction, things are not so placid and well run, the island of Utopia (the Earth's future or any of its colonies stellar, including such wandering colony which is the fabulous autoplaneta Valera) is subjected to terrible dangers and frightening threats.

Stresses in Saga its realistic treatment of the characters: Unlike other series, the protagonists of the Saga not only live their lives in fullness of adventure and excitement, but also are born and die like in real life. The novels allow us to accompany the vicissitudes of mankind through family members of the first protagonist (the aviator Miguel Angel Aznar de Soto) who is thrown from the contemporary period, after an adventure in search of 'flying saucers' in the Himalayas, an unlikely but highly suggestive Venus' Jurassic ', and finally to five centuries in the future with the Earth on the brink of a dreadful World War and the shadow of an even more horrific alien invasion.Step by step, without giving rest to the suffering humanity, Enguídanos desgrana the vicissitudes of future exiles from the land, citizens of the Federation Ibero for more details, who manage to escape the invasion of the "abominable gray beast ',' thorbod "Perhaps the most ill bad science fiction world. The realistic touch we find that inexorably Earth will be invaded and destroyed by civilization much to play the hero in the camp of the "good". The structure of serial and relentless internal logic of the series makes the 54 novels of the Saga of Aznar in a trap from which delicious grateful reader does not want to escape.

We must emphasize that Pascual Enguídanos not only achieved a series of novels or a long cycle, but above all, that managed to keep this cycle of tension and growing interest by printing a constantly evolving to the plot and characters. Any other known series had counted perhaps with a first and second play more or less genial, to continue any further unless valíia before succumbing with questionable glory. Enguídanos, by contrast, with ups and downs in the normal range, achieves the impossible, to maintain and even improve the level according to the Saga progresses.
