Scientists work to protect a baking planet. What a drought-stricken Europe needs is rain. What it gets is a messiah. It’s 2103 and Earth is baking. Scientists attempt to cool down the planet. With the coming of rain, a messiah is born. Eli is a technophobe haunted by premonitions of what will come. His strange magnetism draws many to his cause. For his brother Marek, Eli has always been a messiah. After his short and powerful life, Eli''s most haunting prediction comes to pass: children stop being born. Thirty-five years later, only The Followers of Eli bear children. Marek leads his commune under the glare of the entire world, and recounts Eli’s story to his lover, Natalia. When she is snatched from him, Marek suspects both the followers and outside forces are to blame. Lessons from Marek’s past and revelations from his present inspire one final journey in his brother’s footsteps. My Brother the Messiah explores spirituality in the twilight of human civilization and presents a dark, vivid future of our world. |
