A relentless war rages across the world. Only in the Valley of the Awakened, which is isolated from the outside world, can people still live in safety and peace. At least that’s what Sophia believes. But when her friend Mirko disappears, Sophia begins to question her strictly religious community. She leaves the valley and finds not a battlefield, but a seemingly perfect, highly technological society. Could it be that Sophia's previous life was nothing but a lie? Following his debut novel "Boy in a White Room," which was nominated for the German Youth Literature Prize, bestselling author Karl Olsberg once again creates a chilling future scenario in the sequel "Girl in a Strange Land." He confronts the reader mercilessly with philosophical questions about reality and self-determination - a gripping future thriller.
