Reseña del libro "drop (en Inglés)"

After pulling into a service station in the middle of nowhere just before dawn and asking the attendant to fill his tank, Bradley is told there's no more gas, it's all gone and there's no more coming. The attendant drives off, leaving Bradley and his wife and two children at the pumps. Throughout the day several more vehicles pull in and form a queue. They are faced with the dilemma of staying put or driving on to the next gas station. There is a diner attached to the service station, devoid of staff but which becomes an oasis of normality in the desert where they wait and watch the road, and the ensuing days, as they try to retain a semblance of order in their lives soon expose the underlying emotions of greed, jealousy and suspicion, overriding the general order of things and degenerating into mobocracy and fear. Arrogance and conceit reveal themselves initially through black humour, and ultimately, with a Tornado approaching as murder and mayhem. 'Drop' is about the demise of the American land o' plenty mentality, laced with black humour and the absurdity of a refusal to accept the inevitability of a world running out of its natural resources.
