ABATON TRILOGY (FIRST TITLE: THE END OF FEAR)

« Vom Ende der Angst » | Christian Jeltsch & Olaf Krämer | Mixtvision Verlag, Germany |  393 pp

Edda, Simon and Linus meet seemingly by chance in a summer camp near Berlin. It soon transpires however that the three teenagers have deliberately been chosen by an organization called GENE-SYS because their gathering leads to the development of a so-called « critical mass ». And the organization wants to use this to their own purposes. When Linus starts looking for his parents, who supposedly went missing after a subway accident, strange parallels seem to open between the friends and even their own parents, who coincidentally were all working in the same fields of research.  A scientist called Bernikoff and his theory of the „Abaton“, developed during the second world war, seems to have something to do with it. But how does it all connect? And who wants to prevent them from looking behind the obvious?
