    June 30th, 1908 - In the trackless wastes of Siberia’s remote Tunguska river basin, the most devastating cosmic collision ever recorded flattens hundreds of square miles of ancient forest with a blast a thousand times more powerful than the atomic bomb dropped on Hiroshima. Yet, after more than 100 years of international scientific investigation, the cause of the cataclysm remains shrouded in mystery.Maverick astrophysicist Jack Adler thinks he’s fingered the culprit: the impact with the earth of a submicroscopic black hole, smaller than an atom, more massive than a mountain, older than the stars. What’s more, Jack believes that this fantastic object is still down there, deep inside the Earth, burrowing through its mantle in an ever-decaying orbit that will end only when it has devoured the entire planet. Small wonder if the Russians refer to the voracious black hole by their word for vampire - Vurdalak.Rookie secret agent Marianna Bonaventure is tracking three missing Russian scientists suspected of involvement in weapons of mass destruction research. The trail leads her to the luxurious mega-yacht Rusalka, floating corporate headquarters of billionaire Russian industrialist Arkady Grishin. Determined to prove herself, Marianna creates an elaborate ruse in order to infiltrate the enormous vessel - a dangerous gambit that requires the coerced cooperation of a rather special civilian...Jonathan Knox is one of the country’s most sought-after management consultants; his knack for intuiting hidden relationships among seemingly disparate events serves his Fortune-50 clients well. But when Marianna compels the reluctant Knox to join her undercover on Rusalka, he must grapple with puzzles of a wholly different order of magnitude. Together, these three must battle a globe-spanning conspiracy intent upon capturing Vurdalak and exploiting its awesome power, a power that can transform the world - or end it. ungekürzt.

    One by one, the guilds of New Jerusalem fall to Shadrak the Unseen and his accomplice, the poisoner, Albert. But as the battle for supremacy comes to a head, Shadrak is given a new order by the mysterious Archon: kill his closest living friend, the Nameless Dwarf. The philosopher, Aristodeus, persuades the Archon to stay his hand, proposing instead three quests that will free Nameless from the curse of the black axe that led him to slaughter his own people. But the plan has perils of its own: a visit to the fire giant's lair at the heart of a volcano; a daring raid on the Liche Lord's castle in darkest Verusia; and a confrontation with the son of the Demiurgos in the depths of the Abyss. Even with the incomparable partnership of Shadrak and Nameless, the quests seem doomed to failure, and so Aristodeus tries once more to entice Deacon Shader back to the fight. But Shader is a changed man, more given to drink than the sword; and if he should discover the secret Rhiannon and Aristodeus have kept from him these past four years, the quests are sure to come to a crashing halt before they even get off the ground. Friendship, scheming, and the worst horrors imaginable combine to test the companions to the limits, and despair dark enough to corrode even the most unwavering faith awaits those not destined to return. ungekürzt.

    It’s been four months since Taemon got rid of psi, or telekinesis, in the secluded city of Deliverance. But rather than ushering in a new era of peace and prosperity, Taemon’s actions seem to have driven a deeper wedge between the people. Worse yet, Taemon soon discovers that he alone still has psi - a revelation that is sure to make him a target of the angry populace. With society in disarray, his mother in a coma, and a target on his back, Taemon decides to attempt to rescue his father, who’s rumored to have been kidnapped by the Republik. As Taemon and his friend Amma set out on the dangerous journey to the Republik, they soon find proof that old enemies are still out to get them - and that new enemies are preparing to attack. Will Taemon’s psi and his courage be enough to conquer the obstacles standing in the way of peace? As the powerless and powerful clash, allies and enemies are not always who they seem to be in this dynamic sequel to the dystopian novel Freakling. ungekürzt. Language: English.

    The first book of the epic fantasy trilogy. Plague strikes the city of Sarum, and the dead rise from their graves. The liche, Dr. Cadman, has discovered a long-hidden artifact and perverted its power for his own selfish ends. But an ancient evil from beyond the stars is drawn by its use and turns hungry eyes upon the Earth. These are the times of Unweaving, the times Deacon Shader has been prepared for since the day he was born. A man of prayer, deeply troubled by a contradictory faith, he is also the deadliest warrior of his generation. As events spiral out of control, and Creation itself hangs by a thread, the paradox at the heart of Shader’s life may just be the last desperate hope of all the worlds. ungekürzt. Language: English.

    Die Auslegung des Johannesevangeliums durch Origenes ist der älteste erhaltene christliche Kommentar zum Neuen Testament und ist eines der ersten Werke des alexandrinischen Exegeten, des größten und einflussreichsten Theologen der östlichen Kirche, der aus der Tradition nicht mehr wegzudenken ist. Er begann im Jahre 218 mit 32 Jahren daran zu arbeiten und vollendete das XXXII. Buch als 50jähriger. Durch die Stürme gegen den Origenismus ist nur etwa ein Viertel des Kommentars - zu Versen aus den Kapiteln 1, 2, 4, 8, 11 und 13 - erhalten geblieben. Er gilt als ein grundlegender, als einer der theologisch reichsten, aber auch am schwersten zugänglichen und verständlichen Kommentare. Theologie war für Origenes immer Schriftauslegung. Auch dieses eher unbekannte Werk enthält seine entscheidenden Ideen in den Grundlinien und kann seine innersten Anliegen tiefer erkennen lassen als sein vielzitierter «Peri Archon». Die vorliegende Auswahl in der Übersetzung von Rolf Gögler war 1959 in Zusammenarbeit mit Hans Urs von Balthasar als vierter Band der Reihe «Menschen der Kirche in Zeugnis und Urkunde» erschienen und wird hier unverändert wiedergegeben.

    Powerful forces collide in this explosive conclusion to the middle-grade dystopian Psi Chronicles trilogy. Four months ago, Taemon was able to stave off an invasion by the Republik Army by using tricks to convince his enemies that the people of Deliverance still had the telekinetic ability known as psi. Now, though, the truth of his deception has come to light, and the Republik is preprared to mount another attack, led by General Sarin and his son, Gevri. Once an ally, Gevri is fuming over Taemon's perceived betrayal. Now that his father has put him in charge of a special archon unit, Gevri is ready to exact revenge on his foe - and, with Deliverance securely in the control of the Republik, to end the centuries-long war between the Republik and the Nau nation. Can Taemon - the supposed True Son and savior of Deliverance - find a way to save his people one last time? ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Nick Podehl.
