The Nagel’s are an average white family living on a smallholding. The Khumalo’s, an extremely wealthy family in the new South Africa. Gladys Khumalo is a bitter woman, despite the fact that Justin, her son, has become a doctor.
Doctor Justin Khumalo is on duty when the ambulance with the Nagel’s arrives at casualties. He hands out orders and stands back while the badly injured family are admitted. To him, they are patients, people without color.
Earlier tonight he and his mother were at the performance where Celest Nagel led the orchestra. Justin wanted to see the extremely talented young pianist perform.
Gladys went with him for only one reason: because it empowered her. As a black woman, she was allowed to sit in the concert hall that in her childhood was only meant for whites.
In the back of his mind Justin saw Celest still bowing to the thunderous applause of the audience. Then why the almost insane fear when she looks at him?
What’s going to happen between Justin and Celest, her parents, and his ancestors? Can the color line shift and is there a future when two worlds collide.
Stad van Goud
Price range: R109.00 through R219.00In die laat jare van die dertigste eeu, vergaan die aarde. ‘n Handjievol superintelligentes word die Kunsmatige Intelligensie van al die eeue. Hulle is onverganglik en alles oorheersend. Gus se Ouma is in beheer en goud word teen ‘n tempo van die kwynende aaarde gesteel en na ‘n onbekende planeet gestuur. Die STAD van goud word ontwikkel. Die mens se smagting en gulsigheid na rykdom sal nooit verdwyn nie. Vanaf die planeet word ruimtetuie aarde toe gestuur om die laaste goud te kom haal. Alhoewel van robotte gebruik gemaak word, stuur Ouma Klara en haar span mense terug aarde toe. Twee onsterflike wesens na die Suide en twee na die Noorde. Gus is die enigste oorlewende van die ou wêreld. As hy besef dat Ouma weg is en hy alleen sal moet oorleef, ontdek hy die rede hoekom hy onder die rug van die Draak in ‘n grot moes skuil. Hy ontdek die vewoeste aarde en heers daaroor; totdat die silwer ruimtetuig in sy omgewing land …. Maar in ’n wêreld waar mag en rykdom bepaal wie oorleef, is kennis die gevaarlikste skat van almal. Gus staan voor ’n keuse: wegkruip en oorleef … of die waarheid ontdek wat die mensdom se lot vir altyd kan verander.
