Will H2 and DBO take over the planet and run it the proletarian way? Or will Hilda rise from her wet dreams toss her dead batteries to the wind and take over from where Beryl left?

In diesem Hörbuch geht es um einen Mann, der den Mut hatte, seine vertraute Welt zu verlassen und seine persönliche Sicherheit aufs Spiel zu setzen, weil er nicht damit leben konnte, dass sein Volk sich zum Götzendienst verführen ließ. Elia wagte sich in die Höhle des Löwen - den königlichen Hof im Nordreich Israel -, um seinem König zu sagen, dass Gottes Geduld zu Ende war und sein Urteil über Israel kommen würde. Elia war nicht der Mensch, der nach den Nachrichten am Fernsehen den Kopf über all das Schlechte in der Welt schüttelt, dann aber zur Tagesordnung übergeht.

Die bekannte Autorin und Referentin Noor van Haaften legt nach ihrem Buch über Elia nun eine weitere gründliche Bibelauslegung vor. Diesmal gewährt sie ihren Lesern tiefe Einblicke in das Leben von Samuel. Dieser kam als Kind in die Obhut des Hohepriesters Eli. Als Richter, Priester und Prophet reiste er kreuz und quer durch Israel und forderte das Volk zu Einkehr, Buße und radikaler Nachfolge auf. Eine faszinierende Geschichte, die auch heute noch aktuell ist!

And all before the Edinburgh Festival finishes!

Dustin Graves has three days to live. The darkling mage has found himself in the company of scoundrels. Maybe that’s what Dustin deserves: a werewolf, a vampire, and a talking sword for teammates, and a rogue sorcerer as his mentor and master. But a doomsday cult has surfaced. Twelve mutilated bodies are found drowned in blood and in wine. The massacre stinks of both the divine and the supernatural. Worst of all, an ancient god sends Dust on a lethal mission, one he must complete in three days. The reward? He gets to live. Well...maybe.

The planet’s energy is on its last legs and chapping at her heels to take over is the ruthless Hilda. A woman with a personality as bad her haircut and will do anything to get her way....

Endowed with an insatiable sexual appetite, Karl - now Karli - must fulfill her destiny and train to become a Kock Rider, one of the fabled nubile warrior femmes who take to the sky on the backs of fierce dragon-eagles to defend Hungri’La’s sacred Milk Stone. But Karli can barely keep her hands out of her chain mail underpants, much less off the numerous pleasure slaves, to concentrate on her fighting preparation. Tasked to steal her enemy city’s Milk Stone, Karli sets off with nothing more than a hunky manservant, a throbbing libido, and an order to kill whoever gets in her way.
