Alexandra is a story set in a near future that is all-too-possible. Humans are changing the environment and ecology of the planet without thought to the consequences for the planet or human civilisation.

The novel follows two young women who learn to cope in a world that changes completely in their lifetimes.

Yearning for an ideal society is not that uncommon and the many people who attempt to realise their dreams, do so in many different ways.

The collision of different ideals may never be resolved, but its impact can cause a reassessment of the principles that were previously accepted. Is there a point at which someone is unable or unwilling to refine the past? Or is it only the absence of a particular person or situation?

Alone Against the Ocean

This novel is a fictional story. The idea for it was in my mind for a long time during my night watches on the bridge when I sailed as an officer, chief mate and captain. The question was, if I remain alone on the vessel in the middle of the ocean, can I bring it alone to a safe landing? However, to be alone, something must have happened to all the other crew members. What if all this happened – not in the present when I have enough experience as a captain, but as a cadet on my first voyage – and not only did I have to solve technical problems but also survive after the vessel was attacked by pirates? Can somebody solve all these problems and more psychological ones that appear due to loneliness and disappointment when the vessel is not found by the maritime authorities? Will the main character Răzvan Mândrescu be able to solve all these problems and save his life, the vessel and its cargo? You can find out if he succeeded or not by reading the captivating story Alone Against the Ocean.
