The Neon Palm of Madame Melancon
SciFi von Will Clarke
Corporate attorney, Duke Melançon, wrestles with twin emergencies that threaten his future. His employer, Mandala Worldwide, has unleashed a deepwater spill that could destroy the Gulf of Mexico. Meanwhile, his crime boss mother, Madame Melançon, has disappeared into the syrupy night. These two seemingly unrelated events are somehow quantumly entangled. Moreover, Duke discovers just „how entangled“ they truly are when he comes face-to-face with what his „pet-psychic“ sister calls, „a tear in the brocade of time.“
Will Clarke, geb. 1970, ist ein Autor von ungewöhnlichen und faszinierenden Büchern. „The Neon Palm of Madame Melançon is a smart, ultimately hopeful mystery of science and magical realism, a loving evocation of “all this broken beauty” of New Orleans, and a riotous, rollicking ride with a message.“ (Rezensent) (11 Rezensionen / 4,9 Sterne), 387 Seiten – noch gratis?

Balls of Leather and Steel
Historischer Thriller von Guy Butler
Malcolm McLain, a famous Irish professional soccer player, is flying as a navigator with the Royal Air Force when his plane is shot down over Yugoslavia. Taken prisoner by the Nazis, Malky discovers he’s about to be Adolf Hitler’s pawn in a propaganda campaign claiming he’s turned traitor and is now a Nazi. Polish resistance fighter Chez Orlowski is clever, relentless and utterly audacious in his crusade to wreak havoc and terrorize the Nazis occupying his country.
Guy Butler war in seiner Jugend ein erfolgreicher Fußballer in Irland. Heute lebt er in Florida und betreibt ein Unternehmen, das weltweit Golfplätze gestaltet. Und die damit einhergehenden langen Reisezeiten hat er für das Verfassen spannender Bücher genutzt. „Butler cleverly introduces us to part of history, perhaps not known as much in the western world. Within that context, we get introduced to new tradions, folklore and heroes, that at least I have never come across.“ (Rezensent) (17 Rezensionen / 4,2 Sterne), 434 Seiten – noch gratis?
Während der Autor James Moore auf einer Lesereise in Kambodscha ist, sucht er unabsichtlich Zuflucht in einem Bordell, um einer verheerenden, blitzschnellen Flut zu entkommen. Er und sein Übersetzer werden Zeugen von den Gräueln von Mädchen, die zur Prostitution gezwungen werden, darunter ein junges Kind mit einer speziellen Gabe. „Johan Twiss has created a credible story that touched me deeply, without going into gory details.“ (Leserin) (27 Rezensionen / 4,8 Sterne), 154 Seiten – noch gratis?
Karl Martell wollte nie ein König sein. Geboren als unehelicher Sohn des Führers der Franken, von seinem Vater verleugnet und von seiner Stiefmutter gefangen gehalten, scheint er sein Leben im Verborgenen führen zu müssen. Aber als das Königreich der Franken zerfällt, ist Karl der einzige, der es wieder zusammenfügen kann. „Charles „The Hammer of God“ Martel is my 38th great-grandfather. In the past, I have found books of historical accounts to be very dry and dull. However, Gina Miani’s style of writing made this book an easy read and unbelievably enjoyable. I was taunted by the cliffhangers at the end of each chapter, which goaded me into reading more.“ (Leser) (20 Rezensionen / 4,2 Sterne), 455 Seiten – noch gratis?

A sniper shot from a near-impossible distance. Evidence that the order came from the highest levels of US government. A New York DA who won’t let it go.

Build Me a Tower
Romantische Spannung von Charles McRaven
Theo MacBain is known from coast to coast as a stonemason’s mason, master of the art of finding just the right rock at the right time. Word of mouth alone guarantees him all the high-end stonework he can handle. His face is weathered, his craftsman’s arms sinewed. Stones are easy, but people are hard. The pieces of Theo’s life are out of plumb. His ex-wife is estranged. His two grown children rarely call.
Charles McRaven ist ein renommierter amerikanischer Steinmetz. Über sein Fachgebiet hat er viele Sachbücher verfasst – und einen Roman mit einem Steinmetz als Helden. „It is a pleasant mixture of details of the vanishing art of true stone craftsmanship told as a classic tale of self rediscovery and redemption. “ (Leser) (8 Rezensionen / 4,6 Sterne), 245 Seiten – noch gratis?
Dylan Thomas, 1914 – 1953 war ein walisischer Schriftsteller und einer der faszinierendsten englischen Autoren des 20. Jahrhunderts. Andrew Sinclair, der viele Biografien von Schriftstellern verfasst hat, würdigt ihn in diesem Buch. Übrigens hat er auch „Under Milk Wood“ von Dylan Thomas verfilmt. “Totally absorbing work, the author gets the balance between examining Dylan’s poetry, setting in a wider literary context, with the ever increasing chaotic and dissolute life. The contrast between the poet’s Swansea background set against the Fitzrovia pub circuit, London during the Blitz, and Thomas‘ work for the BBC during World War 2, are all highlighted well.” (Leser) (5 Rezensionen / 4,2 Sterne), 251 Seiten – noch gratis?
