Summary

A man in a safe government job has three beautiful daughters and goes to visit his country cousin. But what will he be like when they meet him? Really, they don't know. They're not even sure what he looks like for when they get to the airport at the other end. Still, in this lovely well-crafted story, they fall softly it seems. This is because of the girls' beauty. It seems that at the airport the driver of a car mistakes them for somebody else's relatives. He invites them to a country mansion that might just be a bit bigger than his cousin's farmhouse and cider making business. Will they meet their cousin in the end and explain the mistake to him and others? This is a good read about a genuinely imaginative situation not often seen in fiction. Except that is, there are many beautiful heroines in novels. But does beauty have its flaws? This is a story about beauty, money and ugliness.

Summary
Chapters

The destruction of the planet Earth was the legacy by Térqueos humnos and for the generation of the future The sun is fading. Transformed into a giant red star, swallow the planets Mercury and Venus. But while solar chromosphere moves toward the earth, a terrible war is fought between Térqueos and humnos that using alien energies, lead the battle to an unprecedented and catastrophic outcome: the globe parted in the middle into two gigantic meteors. Although a forged armistice, the few survivors, among Térqueos and humnos, do not seem to worry about the tragedy that lies ahead. Taken by blind hatred and violence, surreptitiously continue feuding for supremacy on the planet, until only one is winning and find salvation for the planet Earth, before the sun shrink and become the solar system on a dead planetary group. Before starting to read from " The Day Wherein The Sun Shrank " author John Dekowes is a challenge. The player must decide which side will stay in this battle: Térqueo or Humno? Who Will Win? NOTE: According to some readers who pre-book reading, " The Day Wherein The Sun Shrank " can be considered something "sui generis" within the science fiction literature as it is the first time that a writer dared to have the idea of dividing the Earth in half, and describe in detail the catastrophic situations and biological transformations in the characters who survived the tragedy, a gripping narrative.
