After 1990 he was temporarily local editor for the Havelland at the Märkische Allgemeine Zeitung ; he has been a pensioner since 1997.

Works

With The Blue Planet , Rasch also presented a book that was owed to the influence of pre-astronautics in the GDR-SF - it is about the theory that extraterrestrials visited the earth in the distant past and influenced the fate of humanity (such as with Günther Krupkat , Wolf Weitbrecht and Rainer Fuhrmann ). Ten years later, parts of the novel In the Shadow of the Deep Sea were reused by Rasch for magma in the sky . Some of Rasch's books have also appeared in translations in Czechoslovakia , Bulgaria , Poland and Hungary . In 1971 a collection of five short stories was published in the Federal Republic of Germany under the pseudonym Igor Iggensen in the series of novels Terra Astra .

In 2009, Carlos Rasch began publishing the multi-volume publication Raumlotsen , which was based on the themes of the planned television series.
