After the bestseller 'The Map of My Dreams', here comes the new, quirky novel by Reif Larsen: 'The Rescue of the Horizon' takes us on a wild and thrilling journey around the globe and through the 20th century. On an April day in 1975, Radar Radmanovic is born in New Jersey. Not particularly unusual, except that the boy has dark skin like an eggplant instead of the white skin of his parents. No doctor in the USA can explain this biological anomaly. In hopes of a cure, the family travels to a mysterious community of puppeteers in the Norwegian Arctic. There, they experiment with certain forms of electroshock therapy that are supposed to profoundly change Radar's skin color. After the treatment, his skin is indeed lighter, but he becomes an epileptic, and as the years go by, it turns out he is very susceptible to it.
