Description du livre
The Fourth World shall end soon, and the Fifth World will begin. This the elders everywhere know. The signs over many years have been fulfilled, and so few are left.
With this prophecy from an ancient indigenous culture, the compelling story of Quentin Palmer and Moki Brüggemann unfolds. Everything is coming to a head in today's world. And humanity must choose its path - just like Quentin and Moki. Two characters who couldn't be more different.
Quentin has made it. By 2058, he is one of the ten most powerful people in the world, the only US-American among them. His mission is clear: to continually improve the well-being of mankind. Greater security for all, better health, longer lives - these are the goals he devotes himself to, working tirelessly day and night. But his orderly, technology-driven life is suddenly turned upside down. Quentin encounters a people he never knew existed, and with them, he uncovers truths beyond his wildest imagination. Now, he must confront the dramatic consequences of his past actions. Realizing he has made a serious mistake, Quentin is haunted by the question: can he ever make amends?
In the early 2000s, Moki grows up in the peaceful German Eifel region with his best friend Ada. His childhood is carefree, marked by freedom and a deep connection to the nature that surrounds him. Together with Ada, he explores the magnificent flora and fauna every day and experiences wonderful adventures in the wilderness. During summer holidays, Moki spends his time on his grandparents' ranch in California, eagerly awaiting each reunion with Ada. Slowly, a tender bond begins to form between them, one that surpasses mere friendship. Moki is happy. Until his childhood idyll begins to crack. And suddenly, his world is no longer the same as before.
