Abhängig
by Paul McMurroughEine Sonneneruption sorgt für globale Stromausfälle – eine vorübergehende Unannehmlichkeit oder der Beginn totaler Anarchie? Als verrückter Verschwörungstheoretiker abgestempelt, tut sich Martin Monroe, Dozent für Astrophysik, schwer, die Bevölkerung von der bevorstehenden Katastrophe zu überzeugen. Sein einziger Freund, Simon Wilson, der immer noch mit dem Verlust seiner Frau ringt, ist gleichzeitig auch der Einzige, der ihm Glauben schenkt. Lisa Keenan, Kommunikationsbeauftragte der Regierung, muss gegen Bürokratie und mangelndes Selbstbewusstsein ankämpfen, um die Öffentlichkeit zu warnen. Entgegen der Meinung ihrer Kollegen zieht sie den Dozenten aus Belfast, Martin Monroe, hinzu. Gefängnisaufseher und Familienvater Derek Henderson steht vor einer unmöglichen Entscheidung: Familie oder Dienstpflicht. Die Welt ist von der Technologie und der Elektrizität, die sie antreibt, komplett anhängig. Wird diese Abhängigkeit zu einem gesellschaftlichen Zerfall im globalen Maßstab führen? »Einige Romane sorgen einfach für Unterhaltung, andere hingegen gehen einen Schritt weiter. ›Abhängig‹ zeigt auf, wie wenig es braucht, bis die meisten Gesellschaften einen Tipping-Point erreichen.« – STEVE ROGAN (Autor von ›Tracks‹ und der Rain-Saga-Trilogie)

About A Dragon (Dragon Kin #2)
by G.A. AikenThe New York Times bestselling author delivers &“a welcome high fantasy . . . should definitely please fans of sexy shape-shifters and epic sagas&” (Booklist). For Nolwenn witch Talaith, a bad day begins with being dragged from bed by an angry mob intent on her crispy end and culminates in rescue by—wait for it—a silver-maned dragon. Existence as a hated outcast is nothing new for a woman with such powerful secrets. The dragon, though? A tad unusual. This one has a human form to die for—and knows it. According to dragon law, Talaith is now his property, for pleasure . . . or otherwise. But if Lord Arrogance thinks she&’s the kind of damsel to acquiesce without a word, he&’s in for a surprise . . . Is the woman never silent? Briec the Mighty knew the moment he laid eyes on Talaith that she would be his, but he&’d counted on tongue-lashings of an altogether different sort. It&’s embarrassing, really, that it isn&’t this outspoken female&’s magicks that have the realm&’s greatest dragon in her thrall. No, Briec has been spellbound by something altogether different—and if he doesn&’t tread carefully, what he doesn't know about human women could well be the undoing of his entire race . . .
