Full Description

Into space? Never again! That is what Mandy Neumann, the last East German cosmonaut, swore to herself after escaping the death trap that the state's space station had become shortly after the 80th anniversary of her socialist republic.

But the danger encountered by Police Lieutenant Tobias Wagner in a restricted area of Lusatia has spread - and it threatens to destroy not only Eastern Germany but the entire world.

Scientists from both East and West despair as there seems to be no remedy. The only way out is to prevent the anomaly from developing in the first place. Someone must board the Russian Vostok-6 capsule in 1963, replacing the first female cosmonaut, Valentina Tereshkova. In 2032, however, there is only one person who has all the necessary skills - Mandy Neumann.

Can and should she refuse the task of saving the world?
