Max and the Light at the End of the Tunnel - Buchcover

Max and the Light at the End of the Tunnel

Now available!

Noah is fifteen. Too thin, too pale. He's been sitting in a closed facility in Dortmund for twenty-four days β€” isolated, with no contact to the outside world. Behind it all is Christoph Bergmann, judge and adoptive father, head of a network that needs silence to function. Max knows that. And when an anonymous letter lands in his mailbox β€” with a case number, a court date, and the sentence You must be louder than them β€” he decides to speak up.

  • πŸ“– 314 pages, 15 chapters – that get under your skin
  • πŸ” Institutional abuse and the power of a voice
  • βš–οΈ An anonymous letter. A court date. Seven days to act.
  • πŸ’™ For anyone who wants to know what happens when silence ends
  • 🌟 Book 6 of the Maxiverse β€” works as an entry point too

A novel about child protection, courage, and the moment when one voice becomes louder than a system.

Why does Max need a fan club?

Okay, real talk: I'm not a big influencer or a major label machine. I'm Max. A guy from Gelsenkirchen who writes songs, makes books and tries to build something real.

But: It costs. Studio time, equipment, graphics, servers, mixing, mastering, book production – that doesn't pay for itself. And I don't want to advertise every crap or bend myself.

The fan club is my way to stay independent. Every euro goes directly into the projects. No detour. And as a thank you, you get exclusive content, discounts and sometimes personal updates.

So: If you want to not only celebrate Max but also make him possible – then join the fan club.

If not, stay here anyway and listen to the songs. Just being there is also support.

Thanks, mate. Without you all this would just be paper. With you Max comes alive.
