SCIENCE FICTION BOOK OF THE MONTH FOR THE TIMES
'CHILLINGLY BEAUTIFUL' The Morning Star
'WELL WORTH YOUR TIME. VOPENKA TELLS A TALE ABOUT HOPE AMID CHAOS.' James Lovegrove, The Financial Times
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.
Martin Vopenka was born in Prague in 1963. The son of the famous mathematician Petr Vopenka, Martin studied Mathematics and Physics at the Czech Technical University in Prague, but was always intent on being a writer. His first novel, Kameny z hor (Rocks from the Mountains) recorded memories and emotions from a journey across the Romanian Carpathians. The themes explored in his books go beyond the local themes of much Czech literature. He views the contemporary world with caution, and contributes polemic articles to the national daily paper MF Dnes. In 2016 his Nová Planeta (New Planet) won the country's premier Golden Ribbon Award.
