Riley August: A Planet Called Happy, Gebunden

Klappentext

A brand new adventure exploring the meaning of happiness, from the author of The Last Gifts of the Universe.

Ellis appears to have it all - a great job, a loving girlfriend, and a loyal dog - yet each morning he wakes up feeling that something is missing. In a desperate quest for true happiness, he boards a luxury shuttle to Planet Happy, a hedonistic paradise where guests seek the elusive 'Happiness X', the trademarked secret to instant joy.

There, he encounters Nara, a VIP attendant with her own dreams of freedom, whose job is to ensure Ellis has the time of his life. But when an activist group disrupts their plans, Ellis and Nara embark on a thrilling adventure that challenges their understanding of happiness and the influence of corporate power. Will they find what they're searching for, or will they discover something even more valuable?
