Pendergast

Pendergast — the world's most enigmatic FBI Special Agent — returns to New York City to investigate a murderous cult. William Smithback, a New York Times reporter, and his wife Nora Kelly, a Museum of Natural History archaeologist, are brutally attacked in their apartment on Manhattan's Upper West Side. Eyewitnesses claim, and the security camera confirms, that the assailant was their strange, sinister neighbor — a man who, by all reports, was already dead and buried weeks earlier. While Captain Laura Hayward leads the official investigation, Pendergast and Lieutenant Vincent D'Agosta undertake their own private — and decidedly unorthodox — quest for the truth. Their serpentine journey takes them to an enclave of Manhattan they never imagined could exist: a secretive, reclusive cult of Obeah and voodoo which no outsiders have ever survived.<

Pale Boundaries

Where do you go after you’re torn from the only planet you’ve ever called home? What do you do when your new home despises foreigners? Who do you blame when they kill someone you care about… and how do you take revenge? Terson Reilly knew things would be different on Nivia. But he wasn’t prepared for the draconian environmental laws, harsh population control measures or the prejudice against outsiders-and they didn’t expect what he was willing to do to defend himself. Terson finds love when he meets Virene, an independent young woman chafing under the strict social controls herself. The couple do their best to conform, but their rebellious streak leads them beyond the colony’s boundaries where their attempt to rescue the crew of a crashed spacecraft unwittingly sets in motion a chain of events that threatens to expose not only Nivia’s dark secret, but that of a powerful criminal organization as well.<

Der Herr der Erde

<p>Dschingis Khan – dieser mongolische Eroberer wurde zum Schrecken auch für das Abendland. Sein Leben ist die Geschichte eines Mannes, der unbeirrt, trotz fast unüberwindlich scheinender Hindernisse oder hoffnungsloser Situationen, seinen Weg ging, der gekennzeichnet war durch Härte, Grausamkeit, List und Klugheit. Dem Barbaren Dschingis Khan gelang es, Feinde zu Freunden zu machen, Freunde wiederum, die ihm im Wege waren, zu beseitigen und ohne Rücksicht auf Familienbande auch hier rücksichtslos sein Ziel zu verfolgen. Mit 51 Jahren war er der Beherrscher aller Mongolenstämme und ließ sich von ihnen zum Kaiser krönen. Mit großem dramatischem Schwung bändigt die Autorin den gewaltigen Stoff. Es ist Unterhaltung von Format – anschaulich, packend, psychologisch fesselnd, glänzend dargestellt und vorzüglich geschrieben.</p><p>Titel der amerikanischen Originalausgabe</p><p>THE EARTH IS THE LORDS</p><p>Deutsche Übersetzung von Gretel Friedmann.</p><

It is a place of demons and angels, of warriors and priests. Sentient and magical, the Vorrh bends time and wipes memory. Legend has it that the Garden of Eden still exists at its heart. Now, a renegade English soldier aims to be the first human to traverse its expanse. Armed with only a strange bow, he begins his journey, but some fear the consequences of his mission, and a native marksman has been chosen to stop him. Around them swirl a remarkable cast of characters, including a Cyclops raised by robots and a young girl with tragic curiosity, as well as historical figures, such as writer Raymond Roussel and photographer Edward Muybridge. While fact and fiction blend, the hunter will become the hunted, and everyone’s fate hangs in the balance under the will of the Vorrh.</p><
