Produktbeschreibung
When quiet-living immunologist Kuzma Centerius moves into his semi-detached castle in the Enchanted Kingdom of Whitley Bay, he expects peace, petri dishes, and the occasional fungal insight. Instead, he gets Alfonso Piracchini-a red-bearded pirate with turquoise trousers, a cannon in the shed, and a dangerous lack of restraint. Before long, Kuzma is hurled headfirst into an absurd quest involving time-travelling ships, sentient genies, Aztec gods with anger issues, and a fire-breathing raccoon named Phagocyte. Alongside the cannon-hauling Kurfürst Massimo, and an immunological mystery that smells faintly of anchovies, the crew bumbles toward a treasure guarded by volcanic islands, philosophical molluscs, and one particularly vengeful sabre-toothed toad.
Autorenporträt
Dr Alexei von Delwig hails from the ancient German noble family in Westphalia with a rich history of service in the Teutonic Order dating back to at least the 12th century. Born in Moscow, Russia, in 1959, Alexei von Delwig developed a lifelong fascination with diverse subjects. From his early years, he immersed himself in fairytales, adventure books (by authors such as Walter Scott, Mayne Reid, Fenimore Cooper, Jules Verne), science fiction (H. G. Wells), and the history of Ancient Rome. Simultaneously, he avidly delved into literature about vaccines and notable vaccinologists, including Louis Pasteur and Robert Koch. Following graduation from Medical School, Alexei dedicated his entire career, spanning Germany, Norway, the Netherlands, the USA, and the UK, to medical immunological research. Initially focused on vaccines against meningococcus, he later contributed to the development of immunotherapy for autoimmune diseases. Beyond his scientific pursuits, he found joy in exploring the realms of Chinese and European philosophy, the histories of Ancient Rome and Greece, and classical literature. https://www.facebook.com/alexeivondelwig/ www.linkedin.com/in/alexei-von-delwig-73375313
