Marielle Jones has been hired to drive 8-year-old Tyler, his 10-year-old sister and their maternal grandmother on a camping trip across Oregon. When Tyler claims someone pushed him into the river, Marielle refuses to believe him. But, later, the party is shot at, and Marielle realizes something scary is going on. Is it possible someone wants an eight-year-old kid dead? Why? In the musty, dank corridors of an historic old military fort, astonishing answers emerge.
Who is making the crop circles? The enormous geometric designs have appeared in fields around the world for over thirty years. Novelist Risa McKensie plans to write about the fantastic works of art. When her intent becomes known, she receives an anonymous warning to drop the project. She can't imagine why. Because a fiction book might become a bestseller and draw attention to the circle phenomena? Who would care? Clearly, when the warnings multiply, more than one group. Risa meets a group of intellectual Artists who claim they make the formations using mental energy. Despite the escalation of the threats, she discounts the Artists' advice that The Meridians--a powerful consortium that thrives on war and chaos--are the ones she should most fear. Why would a novel about crop circles concern them?

Dieses eBook: "Ein Drama in Livland" ist mit einem detaillierten und dynamischen Inhaltsverzeichnis versehen und wurde sorgfältig korrekturgelesen. Die Handlung des Romans spielt in Livland, einer historischen Landschaft im Baltikum, auf deren Gebiet das heutige Estland und Lettland liegen. Zu der Zeit der Handlung gehörte das Gebiet zum russischen Zarenreich. Den Hintergrund der Geschichte bilden die Auseinandersetzungen zwischen den deutschstämmigen Bewohnern und den Esten und Letten, die wiederum mit dem Zaren und seiner Verwaltung verbündet sind. Die Deutschstämmigen haben sich radikalisiert und zu Geheimbünden zusammengeschlossen. Wladimir Yanof gehört zu einer im Untergrund gegen die Herrschaft des Zaren agierenden Vereinigung. Er wurde nach Sibirien deportiert und konnte von dort wieder fliehen. Er hat sich inzwischen quer durch Russland bis an die Grenze von Livland durchgeschlagen. Knapp kann er der Ergreifung durch eine russische Grenzstreife entgehen. Mit Hilfe seiner List und der Unterstützung anderer Deutschstämmiger kann er über die Grenze kommen. Er kommt in einem Landgasthof unter. Er wird allerdings von dem Brigadier Eck und dessen Schergen verfolgt. Jules Verne (1828-1905) war ein französischer Schriftsteller.
