Zweiter und letzter Teil der spannenden Geschichte um den Arzt Senmut: Auf Königin Tejes Geheiß zieht Senmut mit seiner Familie nach Achetaton, wo er fortan als ihr persönlicher Leibarzt fungiert. Wohl fühlt er sich nicht in der Stadt des selbstsüchtigen Herrscherpaares, aber sein brisanter Auftrag macht seine ständige Anwesenheit unumgänglich. Seine überraschende Begegnung mit Sadeh, Rahoteps leiblicher Mutter, bringt lange gehegte und verdrängte Befürchtungen zum Vorschein, die sich auf völlig unvorhersehbare Weise zu bewahrheiten drohen. Als kurz nach Pharao Echnatons glanzvollem Empfang der Delegationen aus aller Welt eine schreckliche Seuche ausbricht, sucht Senmut verzweifelt nach geeigneten Maßnahmen, um die Ausbreitung der unheilbaren Krankheit zumindest einzudämmen. Damit stößt er jedoch nicht überall auf uneingeschränktes Verständnis, und als schließlich sogar das Königshaus von einem Unheil nach dem anderen befallen wird, richtet sich so mancher anklagende Finger auf ihn. Davon abgesehen ist es für Senmut nur eine Frage der Zeit, wann ihm die schöne Nofretete auf die Spur kommt. Als er sich zu allem Überfluss dann auch noch Pharaos Zorn zuzieht, indem er sich -unter Missachtung dessen ausdrücklichen Verbots- der Opfer grausamer Folter annimmt, gibt es für Senmut nur noch einen Ausweg.

The Diamond Rush: 10th Anniversary Edition by Jon Lymon (1 Review)    Price verified one hour ago

***NEW EDITION FEATURES BRAND NEW OPENING CHAPTER AND COVER ART*** Simon Remnant's not your average hero. Oh no. As far as heroes go, he's way below average. Absent father, absent-minded lover, unskilled and untrustworthy. None of them do his uselessness justice. So there are no expectations other than failure when he joins the mid-21st Century's equivalent of The Gold Rush - a race to get-rich-quick through plundering the dazzling fortunes offered by an asteroid brimming with diamond deposits. Remnant provides the brawn in a dubiously talented and totally incompatible crew of three aboard a ship that's not expected to make it higher than the treetops. Can he overcome his underdog status? And can he beat the mighty NASA to the asteroid belt and return home with a life-changing cut of the loot? Lymon's debut novel is an outlandish adventure that mashes the thriller and sci-fi genres into a pulp of highly entertaining, uniquely-told far, far, fetched fiction that'll leave you believing that even way below average heroes deserve to have their story told. PRAISE FOR THE DIAMOND RUSH: "A well crafted tale of the underdog." "OK, here's the thing that's amazing about this book. There are several instances of what? That's not possible. But the book is so good, you don't care." "Kudos, and good job."

Son of the Sun: a novel of the Ulster Cycle by Wren Paasch (19 Reviews)    Price verified one hour ago

This is the story of CuChulainn, son of the sun God Lugh Lamfada, as told through the eyes of his charioteer, Laeg MacRiangabair. This piece of Irish history and myth is roughly two millennia old, and has seen many interpretations. Much like Alexander the Great, I have long believed CuChulainn's story to be edited to suit modern Christian sensibilities, but I have written it as I (and many) believe it to be true: that our warrior hero is gay. Love, battles, magick, tragedy, kings, queens, Gods, and legends. A Pagan story written by a Pagan.

Unmanageable: A Memoir: Drunken Wisdom (The Powerless Series Book 4) by Lela Fox (A-FEX Books) (69 Reviews)    Price verified 2 hours ago

It seemed like a good idea at the time. He seemed like a nice guy... rich, charming, and sexy. My decisions and illusions seemed perfectly logical to me. So I couldn't understand why people were arguing with me, demanding that I "run from that bastard and get my shit together!" Unmanageable is a crazy tour through two years of anxiety and drunken denial of reality. With marriage #3, problems came like machine-gun fire; I could either dodge or stay drunk on vodka. I chose the vodka. These years were short by the calendar but long on bizarre. From the wedding in a Chinese restaurant to a stint in jail, Unmanageable recreates the most unmanageable time of my life. Underneath, I knew what I saw - a drunk on the way to rock bottom. For the first time, I questioned my sanity. On the white sands of a Bahamas beach, I pleaded to a Higher Power I didn't believe in. I knew the game was over, but I wasn't finished yet. The Powerless series is a memoir told as a story; a story so twisted that it took seven books to reveal it all. This is the fourth stop in the crazy train ride of my life - a zany story about getting drunk, getting sober, and the quest for grace.

Taj: A story of Mughal India by Timeri N. Murari (Lume Books) (88 Reviews)    Price verified 3 hours ago

'Murari has fashioned a stylish novel that brings to life the politics and intrigues of Mughal court life.' -- Outlook India When his queen Arjumand Banu -- Mumtaz-i-Mahal, the Chosen One of the Palace -- died, Shah Jahan wanted to build a monument that was the image of his perfect love for her. For twenty-two years, twenty thousand men laboured day and night to fulfil the emperor's obsession. The result was the Taj Mahal, a marble mausoleum lined with gold, silver and precious jewels. This powerful novel narrates the story of the Taj on two parallel levels. The first one tells the passionate love story of Shah Jahan and Arjumand. The second recounts the later years of Shah Jahan's reign, the building of the Taj Mahal and the bloody pursuit of the fabulous peacock throne by his sons. In this complex and fascinating book, Murari has written much more than a historical romance. He has skilfully recreated the period against which the story is set: the sensual opulence of the palace and the grinding poverty of seventeenth-century India, the vicissitudes of Shah Jahan's reign and the often bitter conflict between men of different faiths. Praise for Timeri N. Murari: 'Only a masterly historical novelist like Timeri Murari could skate so teasingly near the lip of a volcano. The structure of this novel is as fascinating as the building it describes' -- Bill Aitken, Sunday Observer 'A book of powerful simplicity... ' -- Gloucestershire Echo 'One can read into the symbolic undertones, and find this a complex and disturbing novel' -- Asia Magazine Timeri N. Murari has written novels, as well as screenplays and stage plays. His film, The Square Circle, made Time magazine's top ten best films. He adapted it for the stage and directed it at the Leicester Haymarket Theatre.

Make no mistake, you will have to use your mind and reason and demonstrate some intellectual courage to get the payoff. Do you believe that the historical person of Jesus of Nazareth can show you how to enter into eternal life? If you have never diligently studied his teachings, why would you believe you will enter into Eternal Life? This author has been listening to the real, historical Jesus of Nazareth as he describes himself by his own words in the four gospel books for many years. You will be shocked at how different the life-view Jesus provides is in comparison to what Christianity offers. Yes, science offers many solutions to our problems, but science has limitations. Science does not solve our most pressing problems like how to reduce conflict or how best to implement justice and mercy. Nor can science solve our biggest issue - what happens to us when we die? If you are really interested in the world view of Jesus of Nazareth and the truth about eternal life, this book is for you. The payoff could be a life free from fear, self-pride, and selfishness.

Bloody Ground: Black Rifles in Korea by John Holway (24 Reviews)    Price verified 3 hours ago

Korea is "the forgotten war." But to those who fought in it, it was the "unforgettable war." If the names of all those killed were put on a wall, it would be larger than the Vietnam Wall. And Korea lasted only three years, Vietnam about ten. The agony of the winter of 1950-51 is an epic to compare with Valley Forge and the Bulge. Korea was also our last segregated war. This is the story of the black 24th Infantry Regiment, told in the words of the men themselves. Like all black troops since the Civil War, they were reviled by whites and their own commander for "bugging out" - running before the enemy. The charge can still be read in the Army's own official histories. Yet the 24th left more blood on the field than their white comrades - if they did bug out, they must have been running the wrong way. It's a good thing we weren't with Custer," one black GI muttered - "they'd have blamed the whole thing on us." The 24th won the first battle of the war, won its division's first Medal of Honor, and guarded the shortest and most vulnerable road to Pusan. If the port had fallen, the war would have been lost, leaving a red dagger pointed at Japan. It did not fall. That winter, after the Chinese attacked, the entire American army bugged out in perhaps the worst military disaster in American history. "That," said another black veteran, "was when I learned that whites could run as fast as blacks." This is the story of those unsung heroes, who helped turn the Communist tide for the first time. The men bring that forgotten war and their own unsung bravery to life in their own sometimes funny, often heart-breaking, and always exciting words.

"I didn't think it would catch on so quickly. I wish I hadn't mentioned it, it's getting irritating now." "Maybe you should start a Game Club, like your Apathy Club." "If I set up a Game Club in order to gather people together to not think about The Game it would definitely fail, it's like telling people not to think about an elephant." "An elephant?" "Yes, if I tell you not to think about an elephant, what do you think about?" "An elephant." "Exactly, and if I tell you not to think about The Game, what do you think about?" "An elephant." "Forget the elephant, the whole point is that The Game exists entirely by association." "It's called ironic process theory." "Morning... oh, damn, I just lost the Game." "Too late, you can't, I lost it a few moments ago. Twenty minutes hasn't passed yet." "But he wasn't here at the time. He can still lose The Game if he's not aware that you just lost it, can't he?" "I reckon, yes. What do you think, White-Bear?" "I think it's all got out of hand." "Will somebody, in the name of God, tell me what the Game is?" "If you think about the Game it means you've lost the Game. The whole point is to not think about the Game?" "That's it?" "Yes." "And what about the elephant?" "There is no elephant. It's got nothing to do with elephants. Forget about the elephant." "So, all you have to do is not think about it? That's all it is? That's The Game?" "Yes." "What are you guys talking about?"

The Union of Eriss has grown and consolidated for more than a hundred years since its founding in the famine-depleted High Plains of the continent. To the east, an implacable enemy stirs: the Atlan Empire, warlike, aggressive, greedy for land, for power and for slaves. The Union is vigorous and vital, but not without its difficulties: one-third of its population are Ults, restless descendants of a conquered race of one-time wildland brigands and marauders on whom the veneer of Erissard civilization lies thin and uneasy. It is the special task of the House of Eriss, descendants of Old Salin lineage, to defend the Union. But the family's elder, the Domin Therisam, is aged, weak and vacillating. It is good fortune that his eldest son and proxy Jericharek is a man of fierce determination, although his character is flawed by the hateful evil of bigotry directed toward the Ultish populace. Jeri's younger brother Mairhos, although not born into leadership, has a gentler spirit and a keen sense of duty and honor. He heeds the call to serve his nation in less-celebrated ways. But another call also rises in his heart: the impassioned love of a girl from the poorer classes of Pikemond City. Karil Feros is innocent, beautiful, skilled, fearless, and kind of heart, but, may the Sacred Solae pity Mairhos, Karil is one thing more. Karil is Ult.

HOW SATAN ATTACKS by Andy Ripley (7 Reviews)    Price verified 8 hours ago

For thousands of years, Satan has been marshalling his forces, launching systematic attacks on the sons of Adam. He has launched his barrages against believers and unbelievers alike. For Christians, there is an advantage when facing the evil onslaughts. The Bible details the devil's methods and tactics. Paul says in II Corinthians chapter two that we are not ignorant of Satan's devices. We have seen him act to steal God's word from hearts, to twist God's word in false teaching, and to sow doubt. We have heard his favorite lies and accusations, we have observed him engendering fear, and we have witnessed him sowing tares among the wheat. But too many followers of Jesus Christ remain unaware of the varied ways that Satan weakens, blinds and sickens them. In this book, many of his modes of attack are laid out, with the goal that believers will be more thoroughly fortified against the father of lies.

Everything is going according to plan: blend in, keep minimal connections, and find happiness in the simple things. The only problem with her seemingly perfect life is that Nikki Satinn doesn't actually exist. Cam Costello, an illustrious wing of the New York Nighthawks, is a beast on the ice. Having endured enough turmoil and loss, he follows two rules: focus solely on hockey and his team, and allow no emotional attachments. But a pink-haired and blue-eyed girl makes him question if loving again is worth the risk of pain. When they meet at a masquerade party, their guards drop, and their rules fade. But their night of freedom from their haunting pasts is cut short, and they are forced back to their realities. As fate brings them together again, Nikki must choose between the comfort of her fake life or risk being exposed to the spotlight of the NHL hockey player who has stolen her heart.
