Beschreibung des Verlags
The Cognomina Codex continues the adventure that began in D. Eric Maikranz’s electrifying debut novel, The Reincarnationist Papers, which was the inspiration for the Paramount Pictures film Infinite.
Evan Michaels is back in a new life as a Syrian refugee. When strange memories of his former lives lead him back to Zurich, headquarters of his old family of fellow reincarnationists, the Cognomina, he must reacquire their trust to rejoin their ranks.
On the last leg of this journey, he is intercepted by an excommunicated member of the Cognomina who holds some serious grudges. She’s on a mission to wipe out large portions of the world’s population to save the planet from destruction. She proposes a union of the Cognomina and her own group of reincarnationists, but her true goals are dark indeed, and her resources are vast.
Evan finds himself at the start of a war between two factions of immortal beings, each with a radically different vision for life on earth.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Maikranz returns to the mystical world first introduced in his dark fantasy debut, The Reincarnationist Papers, for this gripping sequel. After Evan Michaels dies by suicide in a prison cell following his indictment for a high-profile art heist, he reincarnates as Yousef. Compelled by strong memories of past lives, he heads to the Switzerland-based Hotel St. Germain to present himself to Cognomina, a secret society of fellow Reincarnationists. To rejoin, however, he must piece together his memories, pass another Ascension trial, and travel to Yemen to earn the endorsement of a lighthouse keeper named Clovis. There, both Evan and Clovis are attacked by Brevicepts, a rogue ex-Cognomina member bent on settling an old score—and on reshaping the world with her own clandestine crew of extremist Reincarnationists. Maikranz admirably expands the complex universe of the series, delving into the past lives of some Cognomina members as well as Brevicepts's gang. The result is as thought-provoking as it is riveting. Series fans won't want to miss this.
