«El último trayecto de Horacio Dos» is the science fiction and humour novel by Eduardo Mendoza published by Círculo de Lectores in hardback (188 pages).
Commander Horacio Dos, inept and shameless, receives an uncertain mission at the head of a space expedition populated by Delinquents, Wayward Women and Imprudent Old Men. Amid paternity secrets, courtly spectacles and scuffles among rogues, the story becomes an ironic fable mixing parody, serial fiction and picaresque.
The novel originally appeared in 2002; this Spanish-language edition from Círculo de Lectores was published in 2003.
For readers who appreciate ironic science fiction and social satire, within contemporary Spanish narrative.
Eduardo Mendoza Garriga is a Spanish novelist, playwright, and essayist. His first novel, La Verdad sobre el Caso Savolta, published in 1975, reflected the social changes as Spain transitioned to democracy, and was very successful. His 1986 novel, La Ciudad de los Prodigios, is widely acclaimed, and he is also known for his "mad detective" parody novels, in particular El Laberinto de las Aceitunas.
