The Time of the Titans: Book I: The Island

By Anssi Kullberg

A story about immortality is inevitably a story about mortality. A million years after the devastation of Earth as we knew it, mankind is given an unlikely new chance, by a space-drifting alien race of the titans. Except that they aren't actually alien. Mikael Corvin is a graduate student in a university town in Central Europe. Through his girlfriend Helena, he gets involved with the work of an enigmatic Institute, led by the futurist and philanthropist Xavier Landorf. However, before Mikael can experience his newly found happiness, he dies in a bicycle accident. Yet he, too, is given a new chance. A new life, a mission, a floating paradise, and a distant dream of an island. But this is where things start taking a very different course. When Mikael finally finds his island, he also finds out that the world is not what he had previously thought of it, and the strange youngsters on the island are not who they first seemed. Eventually, Mikael might even find himself, but to reach that end, he needs an entire journey, which always seems to be only in the beginning when a new turn again derails him. This is how one reader described the book: "I've been offline on the road, but I got back a few days ago and I have mixed emotions: every time I start reading I keep going and I don't want to get to the end, damn it I know when I do, there won't be another in a series to go back into the world of. And a very fine world it is. The boys feel like my brothers too, and many of the people ring so true I wouldn't be surprised (at first anyway) to see them here."
