The world’s largest bookfair, Frankfurter Buchmesse, opened its doors last October 16-20, 2024, in Frankfurt, Germany. For worldwide business and trading, it is regarded as the most significant book fair on earth. More than 4,300 exhibitors and an expected 114,000 trade visitors from 131 countries, welcoming rights professionals from a total of 355 agencies and publishers make the Frankfurt Book Fair a place of endless discoveries. On the stages we experienced exciting international voices.
As the Frankfurter Buchmesse celebrates its anniversary for another year of serving the industry, Citi of Books did not miss the chance to join the 76th Frankfurt Book Fair (Frankfurter Buchmesse) in Frankfurt, Germany. This spectacular gathering honors fascinating works and their creators.
With a series of activities prepared, one of the most anticipated this year is the chosen country to be the guest of honor, which is Italy. The country will present not just its diverse, unique qualities as an attractive place to travel but also as a country with a rich literary tradition.
Citi of Books is excited to present books written by our distinguished authors. In our assigned booth, a range of books—from fiction to nonfiction—would be on exhibit. A book included in the gallery was “Galaxies Collide” by Aaron Bratcher.
Aaron L. Bratcher currently resides in the picturesque landscapes of northern Georgia, where he shares his home with his wife, their beloved dogs, and an aquarium of vibrant fish. When he isn’t immersed in writing, Aaron applies his skills as a Senior iOS Developer at JP Morgan Chase, blending creativity with technology.
He cherishes quality time with family and friends, often exploring new travel destinations or engaging in community service through his local church. Passionate about fostering creativity, he leads a writing critique group, where he helps aspiring authors refine their craft. In his downtime, Aaron enjoys playing games, which further fuels his imagination and storytelling prowess.
In “Galaxies Collide,” Earth’s dwindling resources push scientists to create a wormhole to Niton, a seemingly uninhabited world where 17-year-old Fanar and his father help establish a colony. As they begin to send resources back to Earth, disaster strikes: equipment sabotage, his father’s disappearance, and mysterious illnesses threaten the colony. Fanar must delve into the planet’s hidden secrets to rescue his father and protect both the new settlers and Earth from an unforeseen menace.
This book explores themes of survival, resilience, and the quest for connection in the face of adversity. It delves into the challenges of colonizing a new world and the unexpected dangers that arise, reflecting on human ingenuity and the importance of family.
Through Fanar’s journey, the story examines how individuals confront crises, the impact of choices on communities, and the complexities of discovering new frontiers, both in space and within oneself. Ultimately, it highlights the interplay between hope and uncertainty in the pursuit of a better future.
