A glimpse in the darkness
The sequel to the raw post-apoc from the author of the bestseller They Call Me Lars.
Prague 2030. The pandemic of the aggressive CCR virus, which triggers unpredictable, violent reactions in the human brain, has been crushing the world for five years now. The individual states gradually broke up into smaller units with their own rules and laws. The remains of Prague are ruled with a heavy hand by a dictator nicknamed the General, and his guard tries to keep society running at any cost.
Prisons are overcrowded with involuntary test subjects on whom the military is testing a new diagnostic system. A 19-year-old boy with no name is the first to escape from the high-security prison. He is accompanied by Anna, a young woman he managed to save from certain death.
With a pack of armed pursuers at their backs, they attempt not only to join the resistance movement in the decimated city, but above all to survive. But in this land of turmoil, only the law of might makes right. Can two young people influence the course of events without losing their last vestiges of humanity?
A brutal post-apocalypse that brings to mind the best of McCarthy's The Road and Matheson's I, Legend.
Daniel Gris
He was fattened by the Vltava River, on the banks of which he was conceived during one Saturday and Sunday. At the age of three, his desperate parents sold him to nomadic gypsies, who returned him after only four days as completely unmanageable. Several official and semi-legal institutions were then involved in his upbringing. In some of them he was taught the law, in the rest he was taught how to circumvent the law. Daniel Gris has taken several wives of different nationalities and shapes, and is the presumed father of an as yet undetermined number of offspring. He likes nice cars and fast women, absinthe and the atmosphere of smoky bars. In his life he changed nine trades, and since he was resigned to poverty, he finally decided to become a writer.
