Brighter than the Sun Large-Format Edition (Magazine Style) The novel takes us into the twilight between nuclear war and an attempt to prevent it. In the shadow, a 'limited' holocaust unfolds, so extensive in consequences, that the past no longer applies. Here a quiet searching begins for what is ultimately real, for something that goes deeper than the conventions. In the contrast with tragedy, a multi-threaded romance develops that encompasses five families; two Russian, one Canadian, one Japanese, and one American. Their experiences, aspirations, struggles and stories take us on a voyage across fifteen time zones, three contrasting cultures, in a humanist landscape that is constantly changing. The protagonists' Initial involvements with rescue efforts trail out into a chance to build a New World for themselves with a new life in Russia. However, struggling for justice, the protagonists face new challenges, hidden conspiracies, and ultimately tragedies that force them have to flee political persecutions in the continuing small-minded world. Once more, they need to start all over again. But each time they start anew, they start from a higher basis with triumphs from the depth of their growing love that becomes ever-brighter. In the course of their developing humanity, with the demands placed upon them by love, they uplift their marriages to a higher platform that comes to light as natural universal love and brotherhood, beyond what the conventional institutions enable, which become gradually raised up, though not without a struggle and always reaching forward to the preciously enduring that comes to light as the evermore valid while the artificial falls away. Thus, the nuclear nightmare that starts with a fire brighter than the Sun, rouses a light within that becomes its own brightest star in the heavens. Rolf A. F.
