Overview

They're young, in love, and not meant to be with each other very long.It started as a playlist. And then the story emerged. Each chapter in this novel originally were titles of songs by the German band 'Alphaville', then expanded to any one of its members' side or solo projects. Together, it tells a story of two art school students; so brilliant, so in love, so pressed for time. United, they achieve great and mysterious things. Apart, the sky and beyond, their only limit.It's a fable. Pro arts, pro-education, and not a gun in sight. It was my intention to write an anti-''Atlas Shrugged''. I don't believe I succeeded, but I had fun.This book was not commissioned, endorsed, nor reviewed by the band Alphaville or frontman Marian Gold, not for lack of trying. Thematically, it is very true to its source material. This is something I'm very proud of.Sadly, two composers/musical directors whose works appear here passed away in 2014 and 2015; Martin Lister and Rainer Bloss. It was a sad couple of years.The playlist that accompanies this work is on YouTube, [hell, I put it there] under ''Traumenraketen Gold Collection", if available in your country. If not, you still have the list.This is my first novel. I had help who are yet to identify themselves.
