The Phantom Orchestra

About the Book

Just before the end of the WWIII, much of the information that kept the world was lost. The civilization was sent back decades in time in many ways, a scenario very similar to the beginning of the XXI century. Rabden, where these events occurred, became a haven for crime, a corrupt police department and an idle government that allowed it to become one of the most dangerous cities. Amid this chaos, a group of civilians fight clandestinely the biggest mafias, and fight to keep the little order that remains in the city. They are known as the Phantom Orchestra.

About the Author

Francisco Alejandro Guerrero Resendiz was born in Morelia, Michoacan, Mexico on August 28, 1995. He moved with his mother and his father to the hometown of his father in Zamora, Michoacán when he was two years old. Francisco was the school primary and secondary Auxilio, where he excelled in mathematics and competed in tournaments in math during their different school years where he earned second place once and third in another. His first poem, "The Jellyfish", was about a man that suffers greatly when he discovers that his fiancée is diagnosed with cancer and with 5 months of life. Francisco began working on his first book, “The Phantom Orchestra” when he was 15 and completed the book a year later. “The Phantom Orchestra” is a reflection on the environment of Francisco and how corruption, crime and poverty in their own country affects the security and the future of the population, but all set in a fictional country in the mid-21st century. Francisco graduated from the secondary Auxilio school in 2011 and is currently studying literary creation. Francisco currently works in the aftermaths of “The Phantom Orchestra” writing and developing ideas for the following projects, all of them very ambitious.
