De Falende God

Eerste Kroniek van Cranborn

By: Mike Jansen

De drie huurlingen, Grim, Grijs en Thoreld zijn op de vlucht voor een eeuwenoud kwaad en in hun kielzog sneuvelen profetieën en escaleren lang sluimerende conflicten. Met een huiveringwekkend gekraak richtte het dode lichaam van de oude koning Torazan zich op en sprak tegen de drie huurlingen: ‘Hoed u voor het Afwezige Licht!’ Een kille wind stak op en de koning begon langzaam te verkruimelen tot er alleen nog een hoopje as, botten en wat stukjes eeuwenoude kleding op de troon lagen. Het werd onnatuurlijk stil en bij het flakkerende lamplicht wachtten de drie mannen tot er nog iets gebeurde. Dat duurde enkele minuten tot Grim ongeduldig werd. ‘Nou, dat lijkt me duidelijk,’ zei hij. ‘Nu zitten wij hier in dit hol in plaats van hij.’ ‘De falende god’ is het eerste deel in een breed opgezette fantasycyclus in de traditie van Steven Erikson en George R.R. Martin. “Het verhaal greep me en liet me niet meer los. Laat Fritz Leibers Fafhrd en Grijze Muizer de vrije loop in één van de apocalyptische strubbelingen uit Glen Cooks Black Company, en je hebt een eerste idee van wat je mag verwachten. – Tais Teng”

The Old Guys

Back to Baghdad

By: Mike Ryan

The U. S. led coalition won the war in Iraq with few American casualties. But the real war didn't start until after Saddam Hussein's statue fell. Warring factors wreaked havoc, with kidnapped civilians often paying the ultimate price- beheaded rather than released. As the risks are high, convincing Americans to work in Iraq is difficult-but not impossible. An enormous salary provides many takers ... many of them younger in age looking for a fast buck and a lot of excitement. Terminated unexpectedly and desperate, three men and a retired Marine Sergeant well past their prime, old guys who should have been able to enjoy their retirement, take the risk of driving trucks in Iraq alongside men half their age. Unwanted and ridiculed by the more aggressive drivers, their world is a living hell- until it gets even worse. Until they make a decision to take the greatest risk of all: lay down their lives for men who have made their own lives so miserable. This story tells how men from an older generation follow terrorists into Iran to save the lives of the younger men kidnapped in an attack on the trucker camp. To succeed they must withstand unthought-of hardships, face up to their fears, and overcome almost insurmountable obstacles in an attempt to redeem themselves in society and prove their own self worth. This is the story of The Old Guys.

In Schaduwen van Weleer

Tweede Kroniek van Cranborn

By: Mike Jansen

Inskald trok zijn deken om zich heen om warm te blijven en gooide nog wat extra brandbaar materiaal op het vuur. Af en toe dacht hij de mist te zien wervelen en kronkelen alsof iets of iemand de kalmte van de nacht verstoorde. Inskald grijnsde toen hij uit de tent van Thoreld luid gesnurk begon te horen. Wat er zich ook in de mist bevond, dat geluid zou het zeker op afstand houden. Jakhals kwam naast hem bij het vuur zitten. Hij staarde in de vlammen en bij het flakkerende licht leek zijn gezicht oud en verweerd, zijn ogen diep en donker. ‘Ik maak me zorgen om je, Jakhals,’ zei Inskald. Jakhals schudde zijn hoofd. ‘Ik zie ze, broeder, ik zie ze in de mist.’ ‘Wie zie je?’ vroeg Inskald. ‘De schaduwen van weleer. De doden van gisteren. De slachtoffers van morgen,’ zei Jakhals. ‘Ik denk dat je ijlt, broeder,’ zei Inskald. ‘Er is daarbuiten niets.’ Jakhals keek hem aan. ‘Durf jij dan de mist in te lopen? Ze zeggen dat het kan, dat het veilig is.’ ‘Wie zeggen dat?’ Inskald strekte zijn nek en keek om zich heen. De mist die boven het moeras hing was spookachtig wit en de schaduwen die het flakkerende vuur wierp leken de mist te laten bewegen. ‘Je vergist je, broeder, er is daar niets.’ Jakhals zat niet meer naast hem... In het vervolg op 'De Falende God' volgen we de diverse personen uit het eerste deel op hun verdere reizen op Cranborn en daarbuiten. Maak kennis met de Kerk van Rotanny, de mysterieuze orde van de Kroezaren en hun nog enigmatischer aanvoerder. Lees over de gebeurtenissen in het verre zuiden waar Weldaf Gardansson strijdt tegen een vijand die hem telkens een stap voor lijkt te zijn en wanhopig probeert zich staande te houden tot zijn generaal Volon Giraingard terugkeert met verse troepen. De huurlingen doorzoeken intussen de restanten van de strooptochten van de Draconii in hun millennia oude burcht, de Drakkanborch, in de hoop het Zwarte Boek van de Duisterlingen terug te vinden dat hen kan vertellen hoe ze een vrijwel zekere toekomst in het Afwezige Licht kunnen afwenden "De Falende God is een zeldzaam goed boek! ****" - Fantasywereld.nl

More Classic American Railroads

By: Mike Schafer

In the latest mystery from New York Times bestselling author Charles Todd, World War I nurse and amateur sleuth Bess Crawford investigates an old murder that occurred during her childhood in India, a search for the truth that will transform her and leave her pondering a troubling question: How can facts lie? Bess Crawford enjoyed a wondrous childhood in India, where her father, a colonel in the British Army, was stationed on the Northwest Frontier. But an unforgettable incident darkened that happy time. In 1908, Colonel Crawford's regiment discovered that it had a murderer in its ranks, an officer who killed five people in India and England yet was never brought to trial. In the eyes of many of these soldiers, men defined by honor and duty, the crime was a stain on the regiment's reputation and on the good name of Bess's father, the Colonel Sahib, who had trained the killer. A decade later, tending to the wounded on the battlefields of France during World War I, Bess learns from a dying Indian sergeant that the supposed murderer, Lieutenant Wade, is alive—and serving at the Front. Bess cannot believe the shocking news. According to reliable reports, Wade's body had been seen deep in the Khyber Pass, where he had died trying to reach Afghanistan. Soon, though, her mind is racing. How had he escaped from India? What had driven a good man to murder in cold blood? Wanting answers, she uses her leave to investigate. In the village where the first three killings took place, she discovers that the locals are certain that the British soldier was innocent. Yet the present owner of the house where the crime was committed believes otherwise, and is convinced that Bess's father helped Wade flee. To settle the matter once and for all, Bess sets out to find Wade and let the courts decide. But when she stumbles on the horrific truth, something that even the famous writer Rudyard Kipling had kept secret all his life, she is shaken to her very core. The facts will damn Wade even as they reveal a brutal reality, a reality that could have been her own fate.

Lee de Forest

King of Radio, Television, and Film

By: Mike Adams

The life-long inventor, Lee de Forest invented the three-element vacuum tube used between 1906 and 1916 as a detector, amplifier, and oscillator of radio waves. Beginning in 1918 he began to develop a light valve, a device for writing and reading sound using light patterns. While he received many patents for his process, he was initially ignored by the film industry. In order to promote and demonstrate his process he made several hundred sound short films, he rented space for their showing; he sold the tickets and did the publicity to gain audiences for his invention. Lee de Forest officially brought sound to film in 1919. Lee De Forest: King of Radio, Television, and Film is about both invention and early film making; de Forest as the scientist and producer, director, and writer of the content. This book tells the story of de Forest’s contribution in changing the history of film through the incorporation of sound. The text includes primary source historical material, U.S. patents and richly-illustrated photos of Lee de Forest’s experiments. Readers will greatly benefit from an understanding of the transition from silent to audio motion pictures, the impact this had on the scientific community and the popular culture, as well as the economics of the entertainment industry.
