Lev Stærkt, Dø Ung (Måske) – En Guide til At Redde Verden Med Stil
To døende mænd. To grænseløse kvinder. Én sidste chance for at leve – rigtigt.
Bent og Hans-Jørgen har fået deres dom. Kræft, siger lægerne. Tiden rinder ud. Men hvis døden alligevel venter for enden af vejen, hvorfor så ikke tage en omvej gennem verdens mest dekadente, farverige og farlige afkroge?
På deres flugt fra skæbnen kaster de sig hovedkulds ind i armene på grevinde Beatrix og baronesse Loulou – to kvinder, der ikke kender til begrænsninger, hverken i kærlighed, svindel eller storslåede planer. Sammen opfinder de en ny livsmission: At charmere, snyde og forføre selv verdens mægtigste mænd – for hvad skal de alligevel bruge alle deres penge til?
Fra Monte Carlos kasinoer til hemmelige jetset-møder med præsidenter, tech-moguler og oligarker bliver firekløveret en ustoppelig kraft af livslyst, genial manipulation og en dybfølt mission om at gøre verden bare en anelse mindre absurd – ved at stjæle fra de rige og give til... dem, der forstår at bruge pengene med stil.
Men så sker det utænkelige. Efter en uheldig ulykke og en rutinemæssig blodprøve får de beskeden: De er slet ikke døende. På en eller anden måde har de snydt selveste døden. Så hvad gør man, når man pludselig har ubegrænset tid, uendelige muligheder – og en livsfarlig trang til aldrig at spille efter reglerne?
En hæsblæsende, amoralsk og grænseløst underholdende fortælling om liv, død og kunsten at not give a fuck – but give a lot.

Live Strong, Die Young (Maybe) – A Guide to Saving the World in Style
Two dying men. Two limitless women. One last chance to live – right.
Bent and Hans-Jørgen have been sentenced. Cancer, the doctors say. Time is running out. But if death is still waiting at the end of the road, why not take a detour through the world's most decadent, colorful and dangerous corners?
On their escape from fate, they throw themselves headlong into the arms of Countess Beatrix and Baroness Loulou – two women who know no limits, neither in love, fraud or grandiose plans. Together they invent a new life mission: To charm, cheat and seduce even the world's most powerful men – because what are they going to spend all their money on anyway?
From the casinos of Monte Carlo to secret jet-set meetings with presidents, tech moguls and oligarchs, the four-leaf clover becomes an unstoppable force of zest for life, ingenious manipulation and a heartfelt mission to make the world just a little less absurd – by stealing from the rich and giving to... those who know how to spend their money in style.
But then the unthinkable happens. After an unfortunate accident and a routine blood test, they get the message: They are not dying at all. Somehow, they have cheated death itself. So what do you do when you suddenly have unlimited time, endless possibilities – and a deadly urge to never play by the rules?
A fast-paced, amoral and endlessly entertaining tale of life, death and the art of not giving a fuck – but giving a lot.

Author Description: A Voice in Time
Alex Es is an architect also with words, a writer, musician and visionary artist who builds bridges between existence and the incomprehensible. With a background in architecture, art and sound, Alex does not just create stories – he weaves universes where philosophy, spirituality and humanity's eternal search for meaning intertwine.
His writing revolves around the big questions: What is truth? Who is fooling whom? Why are we here? Through several significant works, he explores the cosmic and the earthly, the seductive deception and pure insight:
The Wisdom of the Universe – A Spiritual Guide to the Path of Transformation takes the reader on a journey through self-knowledge and transformation, where old truths meet new understandings.
The Great Swindle – A Danish Guide to Fooling the World is a sharp and humorous dissection of illusions, deception and the hidden game we all participate in.
Why Do We Live? is an existential tale disguised as a fairy tale, where a child – or perhaps just a thought – asks the questions we have all wondered about, and where an ancient voice shares its wisdom about the endless cycle of life.
With a style that balances the poetic and the insightful, Alex Es takes his readers on journeys of discovery that shake their worldview and leave them with more questions than they started with – but also with a deeper understanding of themselves and the universe.
Alex Es doesn't write to give answers. He writes to open doors.
