Adelberg, Michael	General Fiction	A THINKING MAN'S BULLY	110419
		The Permanent Press
		December 2011	190pp.
UNSTUCK IN TIME, UNBURDENED BY CONVENTION, AND LIBERATED FROM FACT - The novel is artfully arranged into a series of personal reflections between Matt and his psychiatrist Lisa, unfolding  as Matt delves into the guilt and scars of his past, struggling to understand why his son Jack is burdened with similar demons. As a topic, the issue of bullying is compellingly relevant as schools and parents across the country deal with the disturbing frequency of bullying incidents and confront the erosion of empathy among teenagers. In fact, on August 30th The New York Times reported on an unprecedented law that took effect in New Jersey on Sept. 1 (the novel also takes place in New Jersey) requiring all high schools to have a guidance counselor designated to handle only bullying incidents, and providing all students with police contact phone numbers and email addresses if they want to report something. Mike Alderberg writes powerfully about this subject; the details of humiliation recollected, the stark reality of a bully’s psyche, and a father’s guilt and contrition.
Adloff, Roland	Historical Fiction	DIE FARBE DES RUHMS	110443
		Manuskript
			6+468pp.
Ohne Film- und Dramatisierungsrechte. - Ein Tizian & Aretino-Roman oder besser gesagt eine Doppelbiographie, die in der Anlage an Daniel Kehlmanns 'Vermessung der Welt' erinnert. Natürlich ist der Roman anders. Erzählt wird über die Freundschaft von Tizian Vecellio und Pietro Aretino - eine Freundschaft im Spannungsfeld von Toleranz und Verständnis, Zweifeln und Ablehnung, Selbstverleugnung Verdrängung, aufrechten Gefühlen und Wegsehen. Im Namen der Freundschaft scheint alles möglich zu sein – auch die Liebe zu einer Frau zwischen besten Freunden. Der Roman ist opulent, sinnlich, derb, unverschämt und überraschend, aber vor allem heutig in der Lesart und lehrreich, ohne belehrend zu sein. Er wirft ein Licht auf die spannende Zeit im Italien der Renaissance, in der die Künste geradezu explodierten und außergewöhnliche Biographien möglich wurden.

Ohne Film- und Dramatisierungsrechte. - Herbst 2011: Eine Kleinstadt im hessischen Spessart wird seit einigen Monaten von einem Serienmörder heimgesucht. Bereits fünf Frauen hat „Der Künstler“ seine grotesken Bilder bei lebendigem Leib in die Haut geritzt, mit denen er seine Opfer entstellt und nummeriert. Alle Ermittlungen von Kommissarin Jennifer „Jen“ Leitner verliefen bislang ergebnislos, denn der Mörder hinterlässt keinerlei verwertbaren Spuren. Zusätzlich hat sie mit dem Ausfall ihres Kollegen, verbohrten Stadtoberen und politikzahmen Vorgesetzten zu kämpfen. Hilfe bekommt sie von Oliver Grohmann, dem charismatischen neuen Staatsanwalt. Der Fund der sechsten Leiche verspricht endlich die er hoffte Wendung, denn der Täter ist von seiner bisherigen Vorgehensweise abgewichen. Er hat die Tote zerstückelt und im Wald verscharrt, anstatt sie wie seine anderen Opfer offen zu präsentieren. Das Bild auf Katharina Seydels Haut trägt außerdem die bisher fehlende Nummer 1. Das Opfer hinterlässt nur ihre Tochter Charlotte, eine verbohrte junge Frau, die zu ihrer Mutter nie ein gutes Verhältnis hatte. Ihren Vater kennt sie nicht. Während Jen und Grohmann mit ihren Ermittlungen erneut von vorne anfangen, beginnen die unbeantworteten Fragen ihrer Herkunft und die Ablehnung ihrer Mutter erneut an Charlie zu nagen. Als sie beginnt, Nachforschungen über die Vergangenheit ihrer Mutter anzustellen, stößt sie auf ein erschütterndes Geheimnis, und zugleich auf den Mörder ihrer Mutter. Noch bevor sie Jen Leitner ihr Wissen mitteilen kann, wird sie überwältigt und verschleppt. Auch Jens Ermittlungen führen sie auf die Spur des Künstlers. Im Keller seines Hauses, in dem er sich sein grausames Atelier eingerichtet hat, machen sie die fatale Entdeckung, dass Charlie die Nächste auf der Liste seiner Opfer ist. Doch die junge Frau ist plötzlich unauffindbar. Ein Wettlauf mit der Zeit beginnt… Saskia Berwein (Pseudonym) wurde 1981 in der Nähe von Frankfurt am Main geboren.

de Camp, L. Sprague Pohl, Frederik Stirling, S.M. Drake, David	Science Fiction Anthology	LEST DARKNESS FALL AND RELATED STORIES	110517
		Phoenix Pick /Arc Manor
		2011	287pp.
Afterword by Alexei and Cory Panshin. Rarely do books have such a great influence on a genre as Lest Darkness Fall has had on science fiction. Frequently quoted as one of the 'favorite' books of many of the masters of the field, this book by L. Sprague de Camp helped establish time-travel as a solid sub-genre of science fiction. ** An indication of the influence and longevity of the book is by the number of best-selling writers who have written stories in direct response to, or influenced by, Lest Darkness Fall. This new volume also includes three such stories by Frederik Pohl, David Drake and S. M. Stirling written over a period of forty-three years-a testament to the timelessness of the book. ** Similar, thematically, to Mark Twain's A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court, the book tells the tale of Martin Padway who, as he is walking around in modern Rome, is suddenly transported though time to 6th Century Rome. Once in ancient Rome, Padway (now Martinus Paduei Quastor) embarks on an ambitious project of single-handedly changing history. ** L. Sprague de Camp was a student of history (and the author of a number of popular works on the subject). In Lest Darkness Fall he combines his extensive knowledge of the workings of ancient Rome with his extraordinary imagination to create one of the best books of time travel ever written.

A multilayered masterpiece of fevered imagination and eroticism, Liebestod soars as the consummate work by one of America's greatest comic geniuses. As hilarious as it is heartbreaking, Liebestod returns us to Leslie Epstein’s most compelling literary character, that European émigré and meagerly successful musician, Leib Goldkorn, whose final years as a randy centenarian in New York City end in one of the most memorable swan songs in recent fiction. Invited back to his hometown in Moravia, Leib discovers that his father is not a hops magnate but actually one of the twentieth century’s greatest composers, Gustav Mahler. Returning to New York with a bevy of rabbinical cousins, Leib, now besotted by a world-famed diva, is determined to bring to the Metropolitan Opera Rubezahl, the only opera his real father ever wrote. Yet the much-heralded premiere turns into a fiasco of unimaginable proportions, all breathtakingly relayed by a stunned newspaper correspondent who survives to report on this monumental disaster. With Liebestod, Epstein once again “illuminates the mystery of our common humanity and mortality” (New York Times).

			261pp.
An authentic, spine-tingling  debut novel, its dystopian pitch -- a world conceived not so far from the one we inhabit...an authorial voice so clear and strong...with a story wildly reminiscent of the riots we had in London this summer, so prescient is this Author. Clancy is an ageing ‘big guy’, someone whose muscles, whose physical stature, once guaranteed him huge respect in the community, but no more.  Now, along with the rest of society’s ‘waste’, he’s been shipped out to live on the Island.  Clancy is a victim of changing demographics, of the state no longer being able to support its older and weaker members.  The financial markets have collapsed and the state is in disarray.   Punishment satellites watch over this outpost of hell 24 hours a day, handing out instant judgement to those who commit a crime or who try to escape back to the Mainland.  Yet worst of all, on nights when the fogs that frequently roll in off the sea are so thick that the satellites can’t function, the old exiles are subjected to terrifying raids by the young wastrels of society who are banished to the Island as well -- they are controlled by wastelords, manipulated through drugs.   No situation could seem more bleak, more desolate, but with the discovery of Lena, a young blind woman surviving alone in the underground tunnel network, comes hope.  And soon Clancy’s whole world turns around.  Not only does he rediscover optimism for the human race, but also a dream he has secretly held all his life.  For this big bull-necked great muscular slab of a man has never known the love of a woman, nor dared to admit how much it would mean to him.   THE DETAINEE is part love story, part adventure, but most of all, a testimony to the human spirit.  That no matter how grim the situation, given the tiniest drop of hope, we will find a way to survive.

A shooting can rattle a city, even if it's gun-choked Newark. Investigative reporter Carter Ross finds himself with gruesome front-page news: four bodies in a vacant lot, each with a single bullet hole in the back of the head. In a haste to calm residents, local police leak a story to Carter's colleagues at the Newark Eagle-Examiner, calling the murders revenge for a bar stick-up. But while Carter may not come from the streets, he knows a few things about Newark's ghettos. And he knows the story the police are pushing just doesn't make sense. The paper prints the police's version anyway—under the journalistic theory that it's better to be first than factual—leaving Carter all but alone to find the real story. He enlists the aide of Tina Thompson, the paper's smoking hot city editor, to run interference for him at the office; Tommy Hernandez, the paper's gay Cuban intern, to help him with legwork on the street; and Tynesha Dales, a local stripper, to take him to Newark's underside. Soon, Carter learns the four victims have one connection after all, and this knowledge puts him in the path of one very ambitious killer. WINNER of the Shamus Award! WINNER of the Nero Award!

Diesen Titel bieten wir OHNE 'Radio Reading'- und Audiorechte an. The “master storyteller” (Publishers Weekly) and bestselling author of Gates of Fire, The Afghan Campaign, and Killing Rommel returns with a stunning, chillingly plausible near-future thriller about the rise of a privately financed and global military industrial complex.   The year is 2032. The third Iran-Iraq war is over; the 11/11 dirty bomb attack on the port of Long Beach, California is receding into memory; Saudi Arabia has recently quelled a coup; Russians and Turks are clashing in the Caspian Basin; Iranian armored units, supported by the satellite and drone power of their Chinese allies, have emerged from their enclaves in Tehran and are sweeping south attempting to recapture the resource rich territory that had been stolen from them, in their view, by Lukoil, BP, and ExxonMobil and their privately-funded armies. Everywhere military force is for hire.  Oil companies, multi-national corporations and banks employ powerful, cutting-edge mercenary armies to control global chaos and protect their riches.  Even nation states enlist mercenary forces to suppress internal insurrections, hunt terrorists, and do the black bag jobs necessary to maintain the new New World Order.   Force Insertion is the world's merc monopoly. Its leader is the disgraced former United States Marine General James Salter, stripped of his command by the president for nuclear saber-rattling with the Chinese and banished to the Far East.  A grandmaster military and political strategist, Salter deftly seizes huge oil and gas fields, ultimately making himself the most powerful man in the world.  Salter's endgame is to take vengeance on those responsible for his exile and then come home...as Commander in Chief. The only man who can stop him is the novel's narrator, Gilbert "Gent" Gentilhomme, Salter's most loyal foot soldier and as close to him as the son Salter lost. As this action-jammed, lightning fast, and brutally realistic novel builds to its heart-stopping climax Gent launches his personally and professionally most desperate mission: to take out his mentor and save the United States from self destruction.   Infused by a staggering breadth of research in military tactics and steeped in the timeless themes of the honor and valor of men at war that distinguish all of Pressfield’s fiction, The Profession is that rare novel that informs and challenges the reader almost as much as it entertains.

A GUIDE TO PHYSICAL AND EMOTIONAL RECOVERY AFTER INJURY OR ILLNESS. Part of the Harvard Health Publications series. In YOU CAN HEAL YOURSELF award-winning author, and assistant professor at Harvard Medical School, Julie Silver shows readers how to heal faster, better, and stronger from a serious illness or injury. When people are seriously ill or injured, they receive immediate and often life-sustaining treatment. Then at some point they are usually left to their own devices to “finish” healing. At the time that patients are discharged from treatment or their doctors tell them, “I don’t have anything else I can offer you,” they are often shifted into a zone where they are better than at their sickest point, but not as healthy as they once were. This zone, between illness and good health, is where rehabilitation specialists focus. Dr. Silver calls this area of medicine, where physiatrists work, The Healing Zone. This book offers strategies to help people heal faster, better, and stronger, both physically and emotionally. This title will be part of our Harvard Health Publications series. We will be “branding” the books with the words “A Harvard Medical School Guide” as well as the Harvard logo with the words “Trusted Advice for a Healthier Life.” Harvard Medical School and Harvard Health Publications will promote the book online and in their newsletters.  And we will be publishing simultaneously in trade paperback and mass market editions, to hit the biggest audience possible.

Keep Your Head Down. Don't Get Noticed. Or Else. - I'm Trella. I'm a scrub. A nobody. One of thousands who work the lower levels, keeping Inside clean for the Uppers. I've got one friend, do my job and try to avoid the Pop Cops. So what if I occasionally use the pipes to sneak around the Upper levels? The only neck at risk is my own…until I accidentally start a rebellion and become the go-to girl to lead a revolution. Maria V. Snyder has been writing since 1995 and has published numerous articles in magazines and newspapers. She lives with her family in Pennsylvania. From Booklist: "Trella is a scrub. She works on the lower level of a community where she and her ilk do the dirty work that keeps the operation going, mostly for the benefit of the Uppers. Known as Queen of the Pipes, Trella’s job cleaning ductwork also allows some privacy, as she finds places to hide. To help her only friend, she becomes involved protecting the Broken Man, a prophet who preaches about a mysterious Gateway. Then the trouble begins. Snyder has written a science-fiction thriller that is as surprising as it is exciting. With cliff-hangers ending every chapter, readers will be compelled to devour this quickly, but there’s plenty to think about, too, as Trella must decide who her friends are, what’s important to her, and what she is willing to sacrifice for an abstract, possibly false vision of hope. The romance Trella encounters ups the stakes as well. Snyder does a great job of tying up enough loose ends to make the story satisfying yet leaving enough questions open that lead right to a sequel. Grades 8-12." --Ilene Cooper

Me? A leader? Okay, I did prove that there's more to Inside than we knew. That a whole world exists beyond this cube we live in. And finding that led to a major rebellion—between worker scrubs like me and the snobby uppers who rule our world. Make that ruled. Because of me, we're free. I thought that meant I was off the hook, and could go off on my own again—while still touching base with Riley, of course. He's the one upper I think I can trust. But then we learned that there's outside and then there is Outside. And something from Outside wants In.

She must choose between her people and her freedom... Xylara is the Daughter of the Warrior King, Xyron. With her father dead and her incompetent half-brother on the throne, the kingdom is in danger of falling to the warring Firelanders. Before she was old enough for a marriage-of-alliance, Xylara was trained as a healer. She can't usurp her brother or negotiate a peace--but she can heal the brave ones injured in battle. But not only her countrymen are wounded, and Xylara's conscience won't let Firelander warriors die when she can do something to save them. She learns their language and their customs and tries to make them as comfortable as possible, despite their prisoner-of-war status. From Booklist: "Even though she is the daughter of a king, Xylara refuses to wait idly for a marriage that will benefit the Land of Xy and so becomes an accomplished healer, a useful skill when her country is drawn into war with the Firelanders. Even though her half brother, the present king, does not want her treating the enemy, Xylara feels she must--both for the honor of Xy and for simple humanity. When her brother suddenly surrenders to the Firelander Warlord, Xylara is stripped of all her possessions and sent to the conqueror as a slave referred to as "Warprize." As Xylara learns to live with the masterful Warlord, she begins to understand the very different social structure and beliefs of those she has seen as uncivilized. Vaughan's brawny barbarian romance re-creates the delicious feeling of adventure and the thrill of exploring mysterious cultures created by Robert E. Howard in his Conan books and makes for a satisfying escapist read with its enjoyable romance between a plucky, near-naked heroine and a truly heroic hero." - Diana Tixier Herald Copyright © American Library Association.

It''s the dawn of the 22nd century, and the world has fallen apart. Decades of war and resource depletion have toppled governments. The ecosystem has collapsed. A new dust bowl sweeps the American West. The United States has become a nation of migrants -starving masses of nomads who seek out a living in desert wastelands and encampments outside government seed-distribution warehouses. In this new world, there is a new power. Satori is more than just a corporation, she is an intelligent, living city that grew out of the ruins of Denver. Satori bioengineers both the climate-resistant seed that feeds a hungry nation, and her own post-human genetic Designers, Advocates, and Laborers. What remains of the United States government now exists solely to distribute Satori seed; a defeated American military doles out bar-coded, single-use Satori seed to the nation''s starving citizens. When one of Satori''s Designers goes rogue, Agent Sienna Doss-Ex-Army Ranger turned glorified bodyguard-is tasked by the government to bring her in: The government wants to use the Designer to break Satori''s stranglehold on seed production and reassert themselves as the center of power. Sianna Doss''s search for the Designer intersects with Brood and his younger brother Pollo - orphans scrapping by on the fringes of the wastelands. Pollo is abducted, because he is believed to suffer from Tet, a newly emergent disease, the victims of which are harvested by Satori. As events spin out of control, Brood and Sienna Doss find themselves at the heart of Satori, where an explosive climax promises to reshape the future of the world.
