Baráth Katalin - Afázia

We are in the distant future, when the Earth is no longer habitable, but the world powers have not changed even after numerous wars and disasters. Two empires rule the Solar System: the money-driven Democracy and the autocratic Net Empire, and the fate of the mining colonies and settlements between them largely depends on which one they are closer to. Man has changed a lot: although the species still likes to fight and conquer, most of its population has lost contact with speech and language, communication is done visually. However, a people lives halfway between the two realms, on an artificial planet that still hasn't forgotten its language, and its words have such power that some see them as an intoxicating drug, others as a weapon. The fragile peace will soon shake and another total war is about to break out, which this people is not only on the front line, but according to some, it is also the cause. A genetically modified super-soldier and a veteran intelligence officer are entrusted with a secret mission from their ranks: to search for a long-lost object of mythical power, with the help of which the catastrophe can be avoided... and the extinction of their own people. After several highly successful books, Katalin Baráth presents her outstanding talent as a novelist this time in science fiction: the world of Afazia is both familiar and exotic, expansive and rich in imagination, reminiscent of the classics of the genre.
