Friedrich Mader Book order (chronological)

Science fiction. Imagine a world that is one of infinite parallel worlds, that hangs suspended between triumph and catastrophe, the dismantling of the Wall and the fall of the Twin Towers, in the shadow of suicide terrorism and global financial collapse. Presiding over this world is the Concern, an all-powerful organisation whose operatives possess extraordinary powers. There is Temudjin Oh, an unkillable assassin who journeys between the high passes of Nepal, a version of Victorian London and a wintry Venice; Adrian Cubbish, restlessly greedy City trader; and the Philosopher, a state-sponsored torturer who moves between the time zones with sinister ease. Transition is a high-definition, hyper-real apocalyptic fable for terrible times.

The story presents an elegantly crafted and chilling haunted house narrative, deeply connected thematically to the author's earlier work, Summer of Night. It promises a blend of beauty and horror, echoing the sentiments of Stephen King, who praised the previous book as "gorgeous and terrifying." The eerie atmosphere and psychological depth are designed to evoke a profound sense of fear and intrigue.

This is the tale of three generations of an American family, the dark secrets at its core, and the forbidden transcendent love affairs that fuel the characters over the course of six decades, from the Civil War to the edge of the depression.
