About the Book

In der Morgendämmerung des 29. April 1947 manifestiert sich in der Nordwestschweiz ein Avatar. Unerkannt und unbemerkt von der Gesellschaft verschafft er sich über Jahrzehnte Einblicke in die facettenreiche menschliche Ethik. Erstaunt erlebt er die Spannungsfelder zwischen biblischer Schöpfungslehre und Astrophysik respektive Evolution. Und mit Schrecken muss er erkennen, dass eine von grenzenlosem Wachstum getriebene Menschheit den Weg geht, der ihr im Buch der Bücher vorgegeben wird. "Und Gott segnete sie, und Gott sprach zu ihnen: Seid fruchtbar und mehret euch und füllt die Erde und macht sie untertan, und herrscht über die Fische des Meers und über die Vögel des Himmels und über alle Tiere, die sich auf der Erde regen." Im Jahr 2020 konfrontiert der Avatar den Klimagipfel in Masdar City mit einem schier unglaublichen Ultimatum. Und er setzt einen bedrohlichen Akzent - eine Malediveninsel wird in prähistorischen Zustand versetzt. Bar jeglichen Massentourismus und bar aller Zeugnisse menschlicher Anwesenheit. Daraufhin verschwindet er auf ebenso unerklärliche Weise wie er zuvor aufgetaucht ist. Doch dann widerfährt seiner Mission ein ungeplantes Intermezzo - der Avatar verliebt sich im Berner Oberland in eine deutsche Exobiologin. Kurze Zeit später treffen sich die beiden in Basel, wo er am Swiss Nanoscience Institute einem ausgesuchten Gremium von Wissenschaftlern sein Wissen vermitteln will. Diese wohlgemeinte Chance vereiteln jedoch fünf Herren einer Kommission, welche die Ereignisse am Masdar City Klimagipfel klären soll. Eingesetzt von UNO und NATO wollen sie den Avatar Kraft ihrer uneingeschränkten Vollmachten festsetzen - und scheitern kläglich. Das Liebespaar aber findet sich in Wengen wieder und verlebt von ungetrübtem Glück erfüllte Tage am Fusse des weltberühmten Dreigestirns Eiger, Mönch und Jungfrau. Bis die fünf UNO/NATO-Kommissäre erneut auftauchen - und es gilt Abschied zu nehmen. Jahre später, 2047 treffen Leserinnen und Leser die Exobiolo
