This is a bit of a long shot, but can anyone point me toward any information in English (or even an English translation, although I'm pretty sure there isn't one) of Alexander Kröger's sci-fi novel Antarktis 2020? My German...used to be pretty good, but was probably never good enough to read a novel. And it certainly isn't now.
That not. But on buecher.de you can purchase a pdf version of the novel, which you could then put into an online translation tool. Would that be an option for you? Edit: Oh, darn, I think you can only buy that when you're in some European country. Edit 2: This site doesn't seem to have this limitation. And you can even download a test piece in pdf format from there.
