The Peace Machine
About this book
A thrilling historical adventure story from Turkey's most daring young voice
We'll create a machine. A peace machine that will put an end to all wars.
The twentieth century dawns and the world stands on the brink of yet another bloody war. But what if conflict were not inevitable? What if a mindcontrol machine could exploit the latest developments in electromagnetic science to put an end to violence, forever?
The search for the answer to these questions leads Celal away from his unassuming life as an Istanbul-based writer of erotic fiction, and on a quest across a continent stumbling headlong towards disaster, from the Ottoman capital to Paris and Belgrade, as he struggles to uncover the mystery of The Peace Machine before time runs out for humanity.
The Peace Machine is a staggeringly inventive debut from one of the most daring writers in Turkey.
Özgür Mumcu is a Turkish author, free speech activist and journalist working for the Cumhuriyet newspaper in Turkey. In 2016 he accepted a Right Livelihood award on the newspaper's behalf for its 'fearless investigative journalism and commitment to freedom of expression in the face of oppression, censorship, imprisonment and death threats'. The Peace Machine is his first novel.
