O knihe

In the not too distant future on planet Earth, people wake every morning to a crimson dawn. Mankind is terrified of the imminent transformation of the sun into a giant red ball that could explode at any moment.
Meanwhile, palaeoanthropologist Freya Von Hauser makes an extraordinary discovery in Europe. She finds several bio-metallic exoskeletons that date back 60,000,000 years. But for some reason, the scientific world does not want to publicize her findings.
Freya finds an unlikely supporter in Cobalto - a Martian-American and former New York City taxi driver - who joined the mob on Mars to pay for health insurance.
This sci-fi adventure is also peopled with a space tycoon, a lunatic hippy and a bizarre professor, all trying to resolve the mystery linked to the origin of the human species. Perhaps they will even find the key to saving the dying solar system.
Author Bio: The fertile imagination of 26-year-old author Nick Mur has created several novels published in Italy. This is Mur's second book published in America. He wanted "to speak about the big issue of our life as a species and the fact we still don't understand at all the riddle of our diversity from the rest of the natural world." After earning degrees in classics and archaeology in Italy, he is currently continuing his higher education in London (www.nickmur.com).
