Back on his home planet, Floor, Rene has settled into a cosy topside job as a barista, serving tea and cake to hone his social skills. Hoping for some quiet time to finalise his decision to become a travelling agent of the Circle, Rene finds himself entangled in the glitzy world of celebrity hoverball players in an unexpectedly personal way.

Kidnappings, crushed career dreams, evil spirits, and rituals gone confoundingly awry will require all his cunning to figure out. Fascinating mysteries aren't just found among the stars; sometimes, they are right on your doorstep - both the mysteries and the stars, in this case. With a bit of luck and courage, he might even find the love of his life...

Written by award-winning authors Beryll and Osiris Brackhaus, Hoverballerino is a vibrant adventure romance novel about friendship, love and charting your own path. It is the third book in the 'Dr Laurent' series.

Beryll and Osiris Brackhaus are a couple currently living their happily ever after in the very heart of Germany, under the stern but loving surveillance of their cat. Both are voracious but picky readers, love telling stories and drinking tea, good food and the occasional violent movie. Together, they write novels of adventure and romance, hoping to share a little of their happiness with their readers.

An artist by heart, Beryll was writing stories even before she knew what letters were. As easily inspired as she is frustrated, her own work is never good enough (in her eyes). A perfectionist in the best and worst sense of the word at the same time and the driving creative force of the duo.

An entertainer and craftsman in his approach to writing, Osiris is the down-to-earth, practical one. Broadly interested in almost every subject and skill, with a sunny mood and caring personality, he strives to bring the human nature into focus of each of his stories.
