Thrilling, informative, and absolutely terrifying. The Thriller on the climate crisis by bestselling author Andreas Brandhorst

Everything could have turned out so well. Through the promotion of regenerative energy sources and the deployment of new technologies, a solution to the climate crisis is already on the horizon.

But then marine biologist Laura Lombardi makes an uncomfortable discovery: the plankton in the world oceans, which is responsible for a large proportion of global oxygen production, is losing the ability to photosynthesise. What initially appears to be a measuring error, then a regional anomaly, eventually turns into the biggest catastrophe in the history of humanity: the world seems to be running out of air, and the search for an antidote is more difficult than it initially seemed.

For readers of Andreas Eschbach and Wolf Harlander

"The reader who loves captivating material can hardly escape the pull that the plot creates." - Passauer Neue Presse, Stefan Rammer
