Álber Vázquez is a writer who divides his time between marathons and books. Both things suit him equally. His literary genres may also be split in two – historical novels and suspense.

Now it would seem he is leaning more towards the former. His latest published book is “Muerte en el hielo” (Death on the Ice), the story of San Telmo and the Spaniards who accidentally discovered Antarctica due to a huge storm –they’ve got it in for us-.
