This remarkable book follows the lives of three friends, Solomon Freund, a Jew, Erich Wiesser, his Catholic neighbor and "brother in blood", and Miriam Rathenau, whom both boys love, and who happens to be niece of Germany's foreign minister Walther Rathenau. From their youth helping at their parents' co-owned tobacco shop, the boys find their relationship strained, as was all of Germany, by the growth of the National Socialist party and the descent of Germany into a Nazi hell.

Picking up three years after the end of Child of the Light, Journey begins with Miriam now married to Erich, and Sol safe in Holland. However, Erich has told Miriam that Sol is in a camp, and her only hope of keeping him safe is to remain Erich's faithful wife. When Solomon learns of the deception, he returns to Berlin to try to bring Miriam out with him. Instead, he ends up in the very Hell that Erich had been telling her he was in. But now Miriam knows the truth. Through her own contacts, she arranges for Solomon to be part of a mission to form a new Jewish homeland on the island of Madagascar, and for Erich to be the leader of that mission.

Winner of the Horror Writer's Association Bram Stoker Award for Best Novel

Concluding the saga of Solomon, Erich, and Miriam, Dusk begins as they land on Nosy Mangabé, a small island off the coast of Madagascar, in the midst of one of the most dense rainforests on Earth. Along with their mysterious Malagasy guide Bruqah, 144 Jews, 40 heavily armed Nazis, and Erich's crack canine unit, the three fight to find a place in this strange new world, while also fighting to stay alive.

Upon reading Dusk, internationally best-selling author Larry Bond said, "What a story! Švivid, almost magical, set in an alien place with unique characters embarked on equally alien and divergent goals. I think it's a real winner." Peter S. Beagle concurred, stating, "Rounded off so splendidly in Children of the Dusk, the Manifesto should now take its place among the very few works of our time that truly deserve the title epic."
