AB  - Petrus van Stijns world is besieged by two prime engines of destruction: massive geomagnetic storms caused by unprecedented solar tumult - protracted coronal mass ejections (CME), and climate change wreaking unprecedented, but predictable collapse of the Antarctic ice shelves. Petrus has other problems to contend with, as well, like surviving on a floating archipelago of ice, and then walking 2200 kilometers through a post-Apocalyptic world. At the same time, Petrus will discover something of a true social and biological paradise. Herein lies the paradox of a world where one species ours is facing extinction, while others many genetically re-engineered are enjoying a biodiversity renaissance. With a Foreword by William Shatner, this provocative, lyrical, deeply philosophical work of fiction explores the ethical limits of science and technology, and the future of all life on earth. "The Maiden Voyage of Petrus van Stijn may well be Tobiass finest work." From the Foreword by William Shatner
