Floaters

In the Undertow of the Ocean

In her disturbing new novel, Katja Brandis reports on the threat to our eco-system: Pirates who make their money with waste and environmental activists who not only protest again garbage.

2030, in the middle of the Pacific – a kilometer-wide layer of plastic waste. Millionaire Benjamin Lesser would like to recycle this waste vortex. The twins Danilo and Malika are with him onboard his special boat. Yet the “Floaters” and other waste pirates have long begun to prey on the garbage and violently defend their territory. Lesser’s boat is attacked and the crew abducted to an old oil platform. Young Arif is among the kidnappers – he seems to want to protect Malika. Can she trust him?
