Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

Karpa Talesman is unique - an adult crossworlds fantasy, brilliantly combining elements of dystopian, quest and high fantasy to tell a story about our dying Earth and a brave man dream-traveling other worlds, risking grave danger to discover the key to our rescue. The story: Planet Earth is running out of time, and scientist Sheena Drey's husband, Copper, is missing. Without her knowledge, he has volunteered with The Dream Project scientists who are convinced that the multiverse contains many worlds similar to Earth. The project uses powerful drugs to send Copper, a gifted "dreamer," to find a possible answer to our planet's plight.Copper wakes to find himself an abandoned child on Urth, a world that resembles a primitive version of Earth. Forced to flee the fate of human sacrifice, he survives as a thief, a soldier, and a storyteller, while growing more certain that his 'outsider' status on Urth conceals his true existence in a different world.Left to her fate on a disappearing Earth, Sheena struggles to protect her daughter and to pry an explanation for her husband's disappearance from Dream Project scientists. Finally receiving word that her husband has struggled back to waking consciousness, Sheena learns that Copper has managed to mutter a single word. Scientists suspect the word may be a code. But it is Sheena who realizes that word is an anagram that, when decoded, might lead to Earth's salvation.
