The innocent inhabitants of Waksha County, Ohio watched in horror as the skies lit up with the blasts from nuclear missiles. Only moments later, the ground rocked with impact and plunged them into nuclear darkness. The people dead, the virus destroyed, the world would be safe.
Or so they thought…
Within the borders of Ohio, a resilient band of survivors gathered under a man they called The General to scavenge, hunt, and--eventually-- escape the walls into the paradise beyond. An elite group of riders determined to aid their community known only by their nicknames and numbers on their jackets, set out every day to scour the infected, dangerous land. One of these is Rocket, number 25. Older than the rest, Rocket no longer cares whether he lives or dies until he is paired up with a new recruit who dons his old partner’s number: 76. Avoiding nuclear hot zones, zombies, and the cannibal cult Red Acres, Rocket must train the new 76 and realize it is not his time to die.

Auf dem Asteroiden 'Gateway' nahe der Sonne werden knapp eintausend außerirdische Raumschiffe einer verschollenen Rasse gefunden, den 'Hidschi'. Niemand weiß, wie diese Raumschiffe funktionieren und wohin ihr Kurs führt. Es finden sich aber genügend wagemutige Piloten, sogenannte Prospektoren, die sie zu ihren unbekannten Zielen fliegen, um dort nach Hitschi-Technologie zu suchen. Obwohl die Verlustrate extrem hoch ist, verstehen die Menschen die Hitschi-Schiffe als Chance, dem Elend auf der ausgeplünderten Erde zu entkommen.

C'è stato un tempo in cui Berlino era divisa da un muro. Da una parte del muro il ricco occidente, dall'altra il rigido oriente. Ma dopo l'incidente con l'astronave Mao Hsien e la catastrofe chiamata Convergenza, la divisione era diventata molto più drastica. Il mondo era stato diviso in due, a chiazze: interi stati, o singoli quartieri di una città. Da una parte il progredito mondo del 2050. Dall'altra il 1968, con tutte le sue contraddizioni. Due tempi, due epoche, simboleggiate da due animali che forse non sono tali, il marziano nanuq e l'estinto dodo. In questo scenario dickiano si muovono persone che inseguono il proprio destino, nell'attesa di un grande evento che tutta l'umanità, passata e futura, attende con trepidazione: il lancio dell'Apollo 11.
Mei è una ragazza particolare. Ribelle, certo, difficile, ma quale ragazza non lo è a quell'età?
Mei però è diversa per altri motivi. Nella testa ha una cosa che lei chiama loop neurale, una connessione di qualche tipo che le permette, solo pensandolo, di ottenere informazioni, schemi, mappe. Un Google nel cervello.
E sono proprio queste facoltà che le permettono di trovare North, e poi tutti gli altri che, come lui, sono arrivati non si sa da dove e non si sa perché.
Angeli, forse. Ma decisi a scatenare l'inferno.
La Germania nazista ha vinto la Seconda guerra mondiale. Un'ipotesi che si può ormai definire 'classica' per il genere della Storia alternativa, a partire dal capolavoro di Philip K. Dick The Man in the High Castle. Ma nel mondo descritto da Davide Del Popolo Riolo gli eventi hanno preso una strada diversa per una ragione molto particolare; l'inserimento nell'equazione della storia di una variabile inattesa, l'Eroe Ariano, che ha spazzato via i nemici di Hitler.
Narrato su diverse linee narrative, intrecciate con le cronache calcistiche e i rapporti militari tedeschi, il romanzo di Davide Del Popolo Riolo fonde storia e mito con una forza straordinaria, affascinando il lettore a ogni pagina. Fino alla conclusione in quell''Alto castello' che assumerà tutto un altro significato.
