Sebastian and Oskar have been friends since their days studying physics at university, when both were considered future Nobel Prize candidates. But their lives took divergent paths, as did their scientific views.
Everyone must submit medical data and sleep records to the authorities on a monthly basis, and regular exercise is mandatory. Mia is young and beautiful, a successful scientist who is outwardly obedient but with an intellect that marks her as subversive.
Oskar and Sebastian, both brilliant physicists, have been close friends ever since they first met at university. But now their relationship is strained by distance, competing philosophies, and Oskar's belief that Sebastian fell into mediocrity after having a wife and child. When Sebastian's is seemingly kidnapped, their friendship is further tested, because Sebastian will go to grisly lengths to protect his family, even if it puts the lives of those around him in jeopardy. Fast-paced and mind-bendingly intelligent, In Free Fall is an unforgettable ride through a world where nothing, not even one's own senses, can be trusted.
In this riveting tale we meet two couples caught in a web of conflicting passions, Diving instructor Sven Fiedler and his girlfriend, Antje, who live and work on the Spanish island of Lanzarote. When a tourist couple--Jola, a soap opera actress, and Theo, a stalled novelist--arrive for an intensive two-week diving experience, Sven is captivated by Jola's beauty and evident wealth. Theo suspects that Sven and Jola have begun an affair, but oddly, he seems to encourage them. Antje looks on, increasingly wary of these new clients. Cycling through different points of view, we are constantly kept guessing about who knows what--and who is telling the truth. A brutal game of temptation and manipulation unfolds, pointing toward a violent end--but a quiet one, underwater, beneath the waves.
