Die mysteriöse »Isle of Night« ist der Sitz eines mächtigen Vampirclans, der dort seine Wächter ausbildet. Diese Acari sind junge Mädchen, die nichts zu verlieren haben – außer ihrem Leben. Drew ist eine von ihnen und hat das erste Jahr mit Bravour bestanden. Nun wird sie gemeinsam mit dem düsteren – und attraktiven – Vampir Alcántara auf eine lebensgefährliche Mission geschickt: Ein Angehöriger des Clans wurde entführt, von Vampiren, die so abgrundtief böse sind, dass Drew und Alcántara keine Chance zu haben glauben. Es sei denn, sie setzen alles auf eine Karte ...

Warum wollte Adenauer «Keine Experimente» und Brandt «Mehr Demokratie wagen»? Warum sagte Kennedy, dass er ein Berliner sei? Was blieb von der DDR übrig? Was hat «Emma» mit der Frauenquote zu tun? Wer sind die «Baby-Boomer»? Warum sind Bildung und Kultur Ländersache? Was machte die «Sissi-Filme» so beliebt? Warum waren die Deutschen so stolz auf ihre D-Mark? Und weshalb heißt die Bundesrepublik eigentlich Bundesrepublik? Geschichte, auch wenn sie kritisch betrieben wird, darf Vergnügen bereiten, und so beantwortet Edgar Wolfrum in diesem Buch, mal heiter, mal ernst, aber immer wissenschaftlich exakt die wichtigsten Fragen zu unserem Land aus allen Bereichen menschlichen Lebens. Dabei entsteht eine ebenso informative wie anregende Einführung in die Geschichte unseres Landes.

A novel of the fantastic set in an imagined country in Europe

An American writer of travel guides in need of a new location chooses to travel to a small and obscure Eastern European country. The moment Grafton crosses the border he is in trouble, much more than he could have imagined. His passport is taken by guards, and then he is detained for not having it. He is released into the custody of a family, but is again detained. It becomes evident that there are supernatural agencies at work, but they are not in some ways as threatening as the brute forces of bureaucracy and corruption in that country. Is our hero in fact a spy for the CIA? Or is he an innocent citizen caught in a Kafkaesque trap?

Gene Wolfe keeps us guessing until the very end, and after.

Dupont University—the Olympian halls of learning housing the cream of America's youth, the roseate Gothic spires and manicured lawns suffused with tradition . . . Or so it appears to beautiful, brilliant Charlotte Simmons, a freshman from Sparta, North Carolina (pop. 900), who has come here on full scholarship in full flight from her tobacco-chewing, beer-swilling high school classmates. But Charlotte soon learns, to her mounting dismay, that Dupont is closer in spirit to Sodom than to Athens, and that sex, crank, and kegs trump academic achievement every time.

As Charlotte encounters Dupont's privileged elite—her roommate, Beverly, a fleshy, Groton-educated Brahmin in lusty pursuit of lacrosse players; Jayjay Johanssen, the only white starting player on Dupont's godlike basketball team, whose position is threatened by a hotshot black freshman from the projects; the Young Turk of Saint Ray fraternity, Hoyt Thorpe, whose heady sense of entitlement and social domination is clinched by his accidental brawl with a bodyguard for the governor of California; and Adam Geller, one of the Millennium Mutants who run the university's "independent" newspaper and who consider themselves the last bastion of intellectual endeavor on the sex-crazed, jock-obsessed campus—she gains a new, revelatory sense of her own power, that of her difference and of her very innocence, but little does she realize that she will act as a catalyst in all of their lives.

The eagerly awaited second novel from the author of the widely acclaimed debut mystery The Calling.

DI Hazel Micallef is still recovering from back surgery when a report comes in that a body has been found in a nearby lake, snagged under several feet of water. But as DC Wingate says, the whole thing is way too eerie. The first installment of a story has just been published in the local paper: a passage that describes in detail just such a discovery. Real life is far too close to fiction for coincidence.

The second novel featuring Hazel Micallef is a stunning and suspenseful exploration of the obsessive far reaches of love. It will confirm Inger Ash Wolfe as one of the best mystery writers there is.

Une autre civilisation, aux moeurs étranges, très loin dans l’avenir.

Elevé depuis toujours dans la Guilde des Bourreaux, Sévérian est nommé Exécuteur dans une cité lointaine qu’il doit rejoindre à pied, par villes, monts et vaux, alors qu’il ignore tout des usages du monde.

Premier volume d’une saga en passe de devenir l’une des plus belles de la SF, l’Ombre du Bourreau réconcilie avec une subtile audace le lyrisme de l’heroic fantasy et la vérité aiguë de la science-fiction dans un futur si lointain qu’il ressemble à un passé très ancien.
