“They shun you like a monster, but I see a champion; a force to be reckoned with. They are zealous, brutal, and without compassion, but you will be worse.” Dredt had to fight. Years as a hermit and bandit on the run led up to his enrollment in a mercenary corps, and he's going to end up regretting it more than anything else. The land is scarred, war-ravaged, breaking at the seams, and he signed up to push it to its limits. Armies will crumble, towns will burn, the trees will weep in sadness at the bloodshed between brothers, and Dolsa will face centuries of war. But what will become truth and what will become legend? Deluve's Waif is a dark fantasy story about the unflinching luck of life. It is set roughly four centuries before the other book in the Karaask Chronicles, The Eroded Knight, but is its own standalone story. These are the myths of old that are told to frighten kids to sleep. The ones that remain tales because the alternative is too grim to bare... [mehr]

»Sieg für Sternschnuppe! Ein unüberraschendes Ergebnis. Man könnte beinahe sagen, langweilig. Das gibt miserable Quoten für die Zocker hier auf der Pferderennbahn. Aber sie liebe Zuschauer und ich, wir haben Glück: Die Besitzerin von Sternschnuppe geht hier neben mir und sie scheint einem Interview nicht völlig abgeneigt zu sein.« Der Fernsehreporter Mike Wonder eilt hinter Sabrina hinterher und drängt ihr sein Mikrofon vors Gesicht. »Sabrina, herzlichen Glückwunsch zu dem fetten Preisgeld, dass du heute kassieren darfst für dein Pferd Sternschnuppe. Er ist ein Champion, ein Sieger-Typ – das gefällt mir, denn darin ähnelt er mir.« Sabrina bleibt stehen; sie wendet sich um zu dem breit grinsenden Mike Wonder. Dieser sagt: »Ja, hier steht sie. Endlich. Sabrina, die bekannte Malerin – doch von dir selber ist wenig bekannt. Mir scheint, du bist um keinen Deut weniger geheimnisvoll als dein Pferd Sternschnuppe.« Sabrina sagt: »Wird das ein Interview oder willst du mir weiterhin Dinge erzählen, die mir bekannt sind? Wo bleiben deine rasiermesserscharfen Fragen, mit denen du die Wahrheit stückchenweise sezierst? Ich kenne dich aus dem Fernsehen, Mike Wonder.« Mike lächelt in die Fernsehkamera hinein. »Ich würde ja gerne noch bei dem Thema Mike Wonder bleiben und mehr von ihm erfahren aus deinem bezaubernden Mund – aber wenden wir uns einem anderen außergewöhnlichen Typ zu: deinem Pferd Sternschnuppe. Du hast nie erzählt, wo du es herhast.« ...

Some nineteen or so years after the events surrounding the Great War of Au Kaktir and all of the resulting aftermath, the world of the planet Zegandaria is vastly different, and time has left its mark on those heroes who have survived - and they are not all that many. The planet is immeasurably more technologically advanced and filled with a strange, oppressive atmosphere. Sasia is married with two sons, and Zorin is a veteran hero and university professor of military science. Rule is in the hands of a supreme sovereign, Om Gur Nal, who controls the physical and mental state of everyone. The friends come together to unravel the mystery of a religious cult threatening the security of the polis. But what is their surprise when they begin to realize that things are much deeper. Somewhere out there, each of their minds has been cruelly brainwashed by the infamous Doctor Gad ‘Di Enn, who wants complete dominion over the surviving remnants of the planet's population. A humane doctor guarron - Ser Mac Zon. An evil archivist - Kazuk Mon - leader of a fanatical religious cult. An ingenious inventor and bringer of a new faith - Archibald Peos. And Jonathan Sacklin - a mad champion of science. And many of the characters won't just be black and white characters. Mark, Sasia, Zorin, and Durnyam, along with Detective Boss' men, will try to get to the bottom of the whole leper reality just to find their own demons. And in the end, they will each experience their own Hell. And Hell will turn out to be a little different from what practically everyone thought it would be. Many traitors will play a part in it all, and redemption will be given to a few, and those who thought they were capable of making it to the very end will fail. But in the end a way out and a natural denouement will be found. And a chance for a new life! [mehr]

This is another book in the Dorian White / Wired For Peace stories. With all the political mumbo jumbo, rhetoric, as well as being politically correct it is time someone takes a stand for truth and justice. Dorian White represents a person whose only goal is to do just that. There are no boundaries, except justice, he will not cross. This was initially seen in his protection of docs without borders where he made sure certain warlords would never bother them again. Or any other organization for that fact. An underlying truth Dorian follows is the idea one should always play by the rules until the otherside does not. Then you play at their level only a lot better. Yet you never stoop to their level. He uses the idea perception is reality by making all he does openly is nothing but an illusion of what is really being done. In this book he does show others exactly how far the illusion he uses goes. Even death can be used as an illusion to get people to react the way they really need to. Yet, in order to make the effect better, there are those who will be killed but done so because there was no other choice which could be pursued. Each situation is based soley on that situation. There is no profiling, which he hates, nor prejudice in any way one might try to use against his organization. Thank you for reading my book and remember to pass on love to all those you meet. A smile goes a long way to bringing about the peace a true warrior is always seeking. One day there will come a time when they can lay down their sword knowing those, who need protecting, are finally safe. Then the warrior, eternal champion, will take up the plow again. [mehr]

The novel portrays three main characters in pursuit of their dreams. The main character is Molly, a woman that becomes a jockey and pursues her dream to win the Triple Crown derbies trophy. As the story evolves she proves to have an enormous resilience in the face of a disabling illness that affects her life and her career. What becomes predominant in Molly’s quest for glory is the tie between her and the champion horse. Their love for each other – either in good fortune or in tragedy - reaches further than their aspirations to achieve glory. The next character in line is Uncle Bill, who comes to realize one day that his life lacks a higher purpose. To make up for it he designs an ultimate adventure for himself which he calls “Project Everest”. Eventually Uncle Bill goes and climbs Mt. Everest and never returns from there. Reaching that peak becomes an end in itself. Did Uncle Bill succeed to arrive at that peak? Later on, a salvage team finds on the mountain peak Uncle Bill’s watch, hidden under a rock. What belongs to a larger than life story is that Uncle Bill’s preparation for climbing Mt. Everest becomes a vital activity at all population levels. It looks as if each life prepares itself to help Uncle Bill triumph over defiance. What Uncle Bill’s project proves to others is that conquering the impossible is a human trait that belongs to all of us, an aspiration of all of us to overcome the impossible. The third character that gathers attention is the teen author that lives though those events and discovers what love is. The background of the story is made up of farmlands, a bunch of neighboring farms on which the principal activity is growing animals like pigs, burrows and thoroughbred studs. It is not difficult to interpret the motives interleaved by the story as being symbolic. Molly’s desire to win the Triple Crown begins with a fortunate chance and ends with another chance – an unfortunate one, an accidental chance. Uncle’s Bill’s climbing of Mt. Everest is the result of a careful planning that ends in an illusive victory. Both fates described above are metaphors. The sense implied here is that the pursuit of fame, success, and victory is beyond life. That is, happiness is doomed to failure in the quest of the impossible; also that the boundaries of what is given to us to live are finite, prone to chance and accident. [mehr]
