Det virker, som om erobrerne på mystisk vis kan regne alle deres bevægelser ud på forhånd.Og mens børnene sejler hen over det tropiske paradis’ krystalklare vande, går sandheden endelig op for dem: Der er en forræder iblandt dem.

Gifty is a sixth-year PhD candidate in neuroscience at Stanford University School of Medicine studying reward-seeking behavior in mice and the neural circuits of depression and addiction. Her brother, Nana, was a gifted high school athlete who died of a heroin overdose after an ankle injury left him hooked on OxyContin. Her suicidal mother is living in her bed. Gifty is determined to discover the scientific basis for the suffering she sees all around her. But even as she turns to the hard sciences to unlock the mystery of her family's loss, she finds herself hungering for her childhood faith and grappling with the evangelical church in which she was raised, whose promise of salvation remains as tantalizing as it is elusive. Transcendent Kingdom is a deeply moving portrait of a family of Ghanaian immigrants ravaged by depression and addiction and grief--a novel about faith, science, religion, love. Exquisitely written, emotionally searing, this is an exceptionally powerful follow-up to Gyasi's phenomenal debut.

Mit diesem 7. Band beschließt der australische Autor die mit "Schwarzer Montag" begonnene Reihe "Schlüssel zum Königreich". Wie im vorangegangenen Band, "Mächtiger Samstag", steigt G. Nix mit einer fulminanten Szene in einen Plot ein, der genauso komplex wie das Universum seiner Reihe ist. Während ein fast chaotischer Kampf zwischen unterschiedlichen Armeen und Interessen um das letzte heile Stück Welt - Lord Sonntags Reich - herrscht, nimmt dieser Arthur in den "Unvergleichlichen Gärten" gefangen. Doch der inzwischen selbstbewusste, körperlich veränderte Arthur weiß sich zu helfen, bis ihn seine Freunde und Dame Primus unterstützen können ... Band 7 nimmt die Fäden der vorangegangenen Bände auf und verbindet sie zu einem Feuerwerk fantasievoller Szenen, überraschender Allianzen und einem faszinierenden Ende, das weit von einer einfachen Weltrettung entfernt ist. Bis zum Schluss brilliert Nix mit bildreicher Sprache, Wortgewandtheit, Einfallsreichtum und Humor. Ein hervorragender Abschlussband einer außergewöhnlichen Reihe, deren Bände ohne großen Zeitabstand gelesen werden sollten.
