The dying has begun – a new thriller from Marc Elsberg
His international bestseller “Blackout” established Marc Elsberg as the absolute master of the thriller. Now comes his newest page-turner: EDEN – Das Sterben beginnt [“EDEN – The Dying Begins”].
In early summer in the Caribbean, tourists look on in horror as a whale shark is attacked by a giant squid. In the Gulf of Trieste, schools of dead fish drift across the sea. In the Amazon, the ground is drying out. Consequences of global climate change – barely worth a headline. But the new AI program developed by IT expert Piero Manzano raises the alarm and predicts an imminent global super-crisis. With the help of his nephew Linus, who has enormous reach as an influencer, and marine biologist Sarah Keller, Piero publishes the warnings – and comes under fire. Powerful opponents do everything to keep him quiet, while a storm is literally brewing on the horizon... Host: Margarete von Schwarzkopf
