What do you want, dear reader? A thriller, a science fiction epic, or rather a fantasy novel? Or perhaps a dystopian, dark story with a post-apocalyptic background? Then you are holding the right book in your hands right now, because it starts with a murder, describes science fiction paired with plenty of fantasy and takes you into a dark future. The only reason for you not to read this book might be if you can't handle the description of lesbian activities. -*- It begins quite 'innocently' with a brutal murder in the lesbian porn scene, which detective inspector Anja Hirrwanger, who has been transferred from Munich to Inzell, is tasked with solving. In the course of her investigation, the murder case increasingly fades into the background and the shadows of her past as an elite soldier increasingly reach out to her, as she encounters a soulful Class V android who knows more about herself than she does. Anja and the android Bernadette uncover more and more pieces of a vicious game in which she and her two unknown sisters were merely genetically engineered, highly efficient, deadly chess pieces. In the end, it is up to Anja's young assistant, budding detective Chantall Küppers, to solve the murder case, because Anja must die if she is to survive. Thus begins for a handful of women, who defy the natural course of events, a bizarre journey through time, away from the dying earth in search of a new home in which there may be no men.

The 280-hour man becomes a well-balanced, content and successful financial broker, and during his stay on Tanros the society undergoes repeated significant changes in which he participates. He is happy there, enjoying the freedom of movement, but the universe has its own ideas about Brandon's existence.
