Der Schnitt durch die Sonne

No one can solve the problems caused by life on their own, as these problems concern us all.

Politics is everywhere. Six people are called together to travel to the Sun: a student, a cook, a financial advisor, a mathematician, a guitarist and a pianist. They learn that there is a civilisation on the Sun that is completely different to what is known to humans. In new bodies, they are supposed to tackle three large tasks and in doing so, they get caught in the crossfire of a massive conflict. Cut Through The Sun stands in the tradition of H.G. Wells, Stanislaw Lem and Arno Schmidt. An adventurous, philosophical and political novel that poses the most pressing questions of our time.
