HEIMAT by Paul Marzell (16 Reviews)    Price verified 6 hours ago

In 1929, four young German friends embark on a life-altering journey from the remnants of post-WWI Germany to the promise-filled streets of America. Dreaming of returning to their beloved hometown of Neisse as triumphant American citizens, their fate takes a dramatic twist in the heart of Berlin's teeming train station. A daring rescue of an American diplomat binds them in an enduring friendship, setting them on a path through the shattered illusions of the American dream, the harrowing depths of the Great Depression, and the challenging process of assimilating into a new culture. As the world plunges into the chaos of World War II, their lives diverge in ways they could never have imagined. Matthias finds himself in the paradoxical role of building ships in an American yard, aimed at the destruction of their homeland. Feliks, driven by a sense of duty, joins the US Army to fight against the Japanese in the Pacific, later aiding the Polish resistance in their homeland. Josef, caught in an ill-timed visit to Neisse, is swept into the ranks of the Wehrmacht, partaking in the invasions of France and Russia, and eventually coming face-to-face with Americans in the Battle of the Bulge. Meanwhile, Edo steps into the hallowed halls of the Nuremberg trials, contributing to the monumental task of bringing Nazi war criminals to justice. Their story is a tapestry of loyalty, betrayal, and the relentless grip of fate, weaving a compelling saga of friendship tested by war, ideology, and the quest for identity in a world coming undone. This is more than a tale of four immigrants; it is a poignant exploration of the human spirit caught in the tumult of history.

The Rebel (Shadows over the Black Land Book 1) by Monika Mangal (69 Reviews)    Price verified 2 hours ago

First part of a riveting trilogy set in the closing years of the nineteenth pharaonic dynasty When Tawosret becomes the second Great Royal Wife of the newly crowned Pharaoh, Seti, she doesn't look forward joyfully to a life by the side of her much older husband. Unaccustomed to the ways of the royal court, she initially struggles to meet the expectations that come with her elevated status and to find her place in a family that soon turns out to be far from perfect. Just how deep the rift between the factions is becomes clear when an uprising on an unprecedented scale shakes the very foundations of Seti's rule. The insurgents are headed by no other than his own son, Amunmesse. Having proclaimed himself king, Amunmesse leads an impressive army from Nubia northwards in a steady, unstoppable advance. It takes him only a few months to bring the better part of the country under his complete control. Seti, whose own influence is henceforth restricted to the delta and a small part of the adjacent river valley, strictly refuses to acknowledge Amunmesse as rightful king and co-regent. On the reverse, when the adversaries don't ignore one another, they fight each other with every means possible. Before long, the devastating effects of the ongoing struggle make themselves felt. Tawosret soon realises that far more is at stake than meets the eye, but what that might be eludes her. It is only with the help of an unlikely ally that the truth finally unravels, and when it does, Tawosret's already faltering loyalty to her husband suffers a serious blow. But worse is yet to come...
