Inhaltsangabe

Twenty generations ago, the Sun burnt the Earth. Men have been walled in ever since. Until a kid finds the truth.

In a world where sunlight is forbidden and truth is heresy, one young man’s curiosity will either liberate humanity – or destroy everything he loves.

For twenty generations, humanity has hidden in viewless corridors, told that the Sun above has burned all life from the Earth. Boz has never questioned the Tenets that govern every aspect of their existence – until he meets Mozart the Heretic, whose disfigured face tells a different story about what really happened to those who sought the truth.

When Mozart reveals that the surface world still thrives in secret paradise, Boz faces an impossible choice: remain safely ignorant in his prison, or risk everything to discover what lies beyond the forbidden exits. Driven by his love for Flox, a remarkable young woman from the violent outer corridors, Boz embarks on a perilous journey through pitch-black tunnels toward the mythical ‘Land of Without’ for a mission as yet unknown to him.

But when Boz learns the true, appalling content of his mission outside, he must choose between the liberation of his people and the virginity of his own conscience. In a world where every freedom demands a sacrifice, how do you choose between love and justice – especially when you’re no longer sure which is which?

Über diesen Titel

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

Alan Rhode is a former journalist from Italy, now living in the UK. Born in Genoa, a chilled-out town on the north-west coast of Italy, Alan spent many years in the more hectic Milan before moving to London, where he wrote his first novel.
Inspired by a relatively unknown historical fact – that in 1950 the German Chancellor Konrad Adenauer publicly proposed the idea that France and Germany should merge into a single country – Alan wrote The Eagle and the Cockerel, a fast-paced political intrigue that brings the reader on a breathtaking journey through Paris, Berlin, Milan and the UK, culminating in an unprecedented referendum on the unification of the two countries that is hosted by a tyrannical social media platform.
Witty and insightful, the book delves into the ambitions, inner conflicts and fears of its characters. With Brexit still in the media spotlight, the war in Ukraine and the growing influence of populism, The Eagle and the Cockerel has stirred the curiosity of the public and media alike, establishing Alan as an exciting new voice in political literature.
