Abismo - Spanish Edition
Author: Carol Shaben

Una noche helada de octubre, en 1984, una avioneta que llevaba a bordo nueve pasajeros se estrello en los bosques del norte de Alberta, Canada. Murieron seis personas. Los cuatro supervivientes fueron el piloto novato, un importante politico, un policia y el criminal al que escoltaba para llevarle a juicio. A pesar del mal tiempo, Erik Vogel, el... more » piloto de 24 anos, fue presionado para volar, algo que no es infrecuente en las lineas aereas pequenas. Su temor a perder el trabajo si se negaba le obligo a tomar la decision de alzar el vuelo. Larry Shaben, el padre de la autora y primer ministro musulman de la historia de Canada, volvia a casa despues de su ocupada semana en el Parlamento canadiense. El policia recien salido de la academia Scott Deschamps habia decidido quitarle las esposas al detenido al que escoltaba Paul Archambault, un vagabundo con acusaciones pendientes en otro estado nada mas subir al avion, un hecho que va en contra de las normas y que acabo por tener una considerable importancia en los acontecimientos que estaban aun por suceder. La lucha por la supervivencia acaba por borrar todas las barreras sociales, la diferencia de clases, las cifras de la cuenta corriente de cada uno y hace que se enfrenten con las limitaciones de la propia existencia. Los supervivientes acabaron por forjar amistades inesperadas y a traves de ellas encontraron tambien la fuerza y el coraje para reconstruir sus vidas. / Only four men survived the plane crash. The pilot. A politician. A cop... and the criminal he was shackled to. On an icy night in October 1984, a commuter plane carrying nine passengers crashed in the remote wilderness of northern Alberta, killing six people. Four survived: the rookie pilot, a prominent politician, a cop, and the criminal he was escorting to face charges. Despite the poor weather, Erik Vogel, the 24-year-old pilot, was under intense pressure to fly. Larry Shaben, the author's father and Canada's first Muslim Cabinet Minister, was commuting home after a busy week at the Alberta Legislature. Constable Scott Deschamps was escorting Paul Archambault, a drifter wanted on an outstanding warrant. Against regulations, Archambault's handcuffs were removed-a decision that would profoundly impact the men's survival. As the men fight through the night to stay alive, the dividing lines of power, wealth, and status are erased, and each man is forced to confront the precious and limited nature of his existence.
