Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - Commended by judges of the prestigious Victorian Premier's Literary Awards, The Current is the story of a man's obsession with overcoming the forces of nature. At all costs. When the president of a sinking tropical island calls on the world's most ingenious entrepreneurs to help save his people, Peter Van Dooren answers the call.Van Dooren's wealth and prestige mean that his family wants for nothing - except a husband and a father.As an engineer, he believes his idea can not only save the island and its people's way of life. It could also change the idea of nations and borders. After all, changing the world is what Van Dooren really wants. But playing God may cost him his fortune and his own family.While Van Dooren plots a world away, his wife, son and daughter sink deeper into their own personal abyss of retail therapy, amateur pornography and religious extremism.Everyone is adrift on the same tide of greed, lust and fear.
