Dječak je buljio sirom otvorenih očiju od čuda dok su cirkuski satori procvjetali iz maglovite zore poput divovskih gljiva koje su ozivjele. Čvrsto je stezao ruku svog skrbnika, jedva vjerujuci da mu je dopusteno prisustvovati predstavi. Nakon toliko saputanih priča o sporednim čudacima i činovima prkosenja smrti, napokon ce osobno vidjeti spektakl.
Dok je sunce przilo jutarnju maglu, kaleidoskop prizora, zvukova i mirisa zaslijepio je dječakova osjetila. Iz kaveza za zivotinje dopirala je urlika dok su prodavači pjevali o zasecerenim poslasticama. Odvazni cirkuski plakati prikazivali su gutače vatre, gutače mačeva, čovjeka vuka, bradatu zenu, dječaka kornjaču i jos mnogo toga. Kakva su ga čudna stvorenja čekala unutar prugaste velike majice?
Dječak se prisjetio kako su mu se skolski kolege rugali nazivajuci ga "čudakom". Ali eto, mogu li nakaze otvoreno, bez srama hodati? Ta ga je ideja ispunila strahopostovanjem.
Osorni glas prekinuo je njegovo razmisljanje - bilo je vrijeme da predstava počne. Dječak je pozurio unutra, stezuci svoj komad karte kao zlatnu kartu. Poklopci satora sapatom su se zatvorili za njim, a svjetla su se prigusila...
Dok su zlobne note orgulja puzale kroz teski zrak, kolovođa je dosetao do svjetla reflektora, pucnuo bičem i proglasio: "Dame i gospodo, dobrodosli na najvecu predstavu na svijetu!"

Francisco Angulo
Madrid, 1976
Enthusiast of fantasy cinema and literature and a lifelong fan of Isaac Asimov and Stephen King, Angulo starts his literary career by submitting short stories to different contests. At 17 he finishes his first book - a collection of poems - and tries to publish it. Far from feeling intimidated by the discouraging responses from publishers, he decides to push ahead and tries even harder.
In 2006 he published his first novel "The Relic", a science fiction tale that was received with very positive reviews. In 2008 he presented "Ecofa" an essay on biofuels, whereAngulorecounts his experiences in the research project he works on. In 2009 he published "Kira and the Ice Storm".A difficultbut very productive year, in2010 he completed "Eco-fuel-FA", a science book in English. He also worked on several literary projects: "The Best of 2009-2010", "The Legend of Tarazashi 2009-2010", "The Sniffer 2010", "Destination Havana 2010-2011" and "Company No.12".
He currently works as director of research at the Ecofa project. Angulo is the developer of the first 2nd generation biofuel obtained from organic waste fed bacteria. He specialises in environmental issues and science-fiction novels.
His expertise in the scientific field is reflected in the innovations and technological advances he talks about in his books, almost prophesying what lies ahead, as Jules Verne didin his time.
