Al término de la guerra civil que desoló a un pequeño país tropical, típicamente tercermundista, quedaron como secuelas "naturales" muchas armas sin control y grandes incertidumbres para sus habitantes en especial para los combatientes desmovilizados de ambos bandos contendientes.Así las cosas, un grupo de reconocidos expertos guerrilleros -sin explicación borrados de las listas de desmovilización- decide conformar un comando para la realización de una operación militar que les procure los medios económicos para resolver su reinserción social, dado que el gobierno y el FMLN -que hicieron posible los acuerdos para poner término a la guerra- no les proporcionaba nada para enfrentar el diario a diario de sus necesidades materiales.La operación guerrillera que deciden ejecutar es un éxito rotundo y el dinero obtenido -que supera sus expectativas- deciden invertirlo en negocios porque se les hace imposible gastarlo en bienes suntuarios. Al poco tiempo esa vida de empresarios triunfadores los pone en el camino de encontrarse con el banquero y hombre de negocios -oligárquico- que fue la "víctima" del operativo guerrillero, pero esta vez como socios y amigos, muy a pesar de las diferencias ideológicas.Es una novela de testimonios, fundamentada en hechos históricos descritos no al pie de la letra, pero sí verosímiles y cuya narración se sustenta en la recreación del extraño y extraordinario "viaje" que es la Vida con sus vuelcos y revuelcos.La recreación literaria parte de una sui géneris interpretación del bolero "La barca" del cantautor mexicano Roberto Cantoral con una exégesis muy libre del mito de Caronte.El bolero se utiliza como recurso en el desarrollo de la línea narrativa con que se aborda la vida de un mexicano que, al inicio de los años '80 se incorpora, decidido a perder la mexicanidad, a la guerrilla salvadoreña. Éste había comprobado al final del conflicto, que no echó las raíces necesarias para conseguir la salvadoreñidad y que no obstante se queda "anclado para siempre" en El Salvador, rememorando su borroso pasado y especulando sobre su incierto futuro en ese eterno período en que se le convierte la posguerra salvadoreña, antes de la exitosa operación guerrillera.En la narración se tiene en cuenta que en la cosmogonía azteca hay una versión parecida al mito de Caronte, aunque aparece como explicación teológica de los sacrificios humanos que garantizan el diario nacimiento de la gran deidad azteca que es el sol.Esta novela es la tercera entrega de la trilogía "Las ofensas finales".
