    <![CDATA[ Gäbe es einen Preis für das am sehnsüchtigsten erwartete Buch des Jahres, <em>Wolfsmond</em> würde mit deutlichem Vorsprung gewinnen. Über ein halbes Jahrzehnt ist vergangen, seit mit <em>Glas</em> der vierte und bisher letzte Band der Saga um den Dunklen Turm erschienen war, und langsam wurden Zweifel laut, ob Stephen King sein Opus Magnum überhaupt zu Ende schreiben würde. Nur wenige Wochen nach dem Original liegt jetzt die deutsche Ausgabe von <em>The Wolves of the Calla</em> vor, und -- um es vorwegzunehmen -- das Warten hat sich gelohnt.<p>  Roland, Jake, Susannah und Eddie setzen ihre Reise fort und gelangen nach Calla Bryn Sturgis, einer Stadt, die regelmäßig von einem schrecklichen Schicksal heimgesucht wird: Ungefähr alle 20 Jahre fallen grauenhafte Wolfswesen über die Bürger her und rauben zahlreiche ihrer Kinder. Wenn diese Kinder Wochen später zurückkehren, sind sie nur noch eine leere Hülle. Roland und seine Gefährten sollen helfen, denn der nächste Angriff der Wölfe steht kurz bevor.<p>  Unterstützt werden sie dabei von Pater Callahan, einer Figur, die King-Lesern aus <em>Brennen muss Salem</em> bekannt ist. Callahan verfügt über nicht ungefährliche Mittel und Wege, die Grenze zwischen den Welten zu überwinden. Das erweist sich alsbald als ausgesprochen nützlich, denn im New York des Jahres 1976 wächst eine Rose, bei der es sich um den Turm selbst handeln könnte.<p>  <em>Wolfsmond</em> ist ein mit enormer erzählerischer Kraft geschriebenes Buch. King vertieft sowohl die Mythologie der Serie, wie auch die Charakterzeichnung der Protagonisten. Etwas aufdringlich sind vielleicht die zahlreichen Popkultur-Bezüge und das allmähliche Verwischen der Grenzen zwischen Roman und Wirklichkeit. Insgesamt schmälert dies das Lesevergnügen jedoch nur marginal.<p>  Die beiden abschließenden Bände des Dunklen Turms, <em>The Song of Susannah</em> und <em>The Dark Tower</em>, sollen innerhalb der nächsten Jahre erscheinen. Vorher wird ein abschließendes Urteil nicht möglich sein, aber schon jetzt zeichnet sich ab, dass Stephen King eines der großen Meisterwerke der fantastischen Literatur geschaffen hat. Steigen Sie mit <em>Schwarz</em> ein und genießen Sie die Reise. <em>--Felix Darwin</em></p></p></p></p>]]>

    <![CDATA[Stephen King besitzt kein Handy. Denn Stephen King mag keine Handys. Das wird einem beim Lesen ziemlich schnell klar. In <em>Puls</em>, dem wieder einmal extrem spannenden Horror-Thriller des amerikanischen Großmeisters, entpuppen sich die kleinen, praktischen Lieblingsspielzeuge des modernen Menschen als teuflische Werkzeuge der Apokalypse. Gut und Böse, Gesundheit und Wahnsinn, sind dabei klar zugeordnet -- das Benutzen eines Handys stürzt jeden einzelnen ins Verderben.<p>  Dabei sah es für Clayton Riddell, den sympathischen Helden dieses Romans, zunächst so aus, als sollte sich nach einigen schweren Jahren endlich das Blatt wenden. Gerade hat der bisher erfolglose (und daher handylose) Comiczeichner bei einem Geschäftstermin in Boston seine ersten Geschichten verkauft und brennt darauf, seiner Familie davon zu berichten. Da bricht um ihn herum der Wahnsinn los. Ein Teenager beißt der Frau neben sich in die Gurgel, ein wirr dreinblickender Mann rennt mit einem Fleischermesser auf Clay zu, Autos kollidieren, Menschen springen aus Hochhäusern, ein Inferno unerklärlicher Gewalt wälzt sich über die Stadt.<p>  Doch Clay und seine Gefährten, der feinsinnige Tom und die junge, hübsche Alice, kommen dem Rätsel schnell auf die Spur. Über die Handys scheint eine Art &quot;Puls&quot; gesendet worden zu sein. Jeder, der ein Handy ans Ohr nimmt, wird auf der Stelle seiner Menschlichkeit beraubt. Und nun herrscht Krieg zwischen &quot;Normalos&quot; und &quot;Handy-Verrückten&quot;. Clay indessen wird nur noch von der Sorge um seine Frau und seinen Sohn Johnny beherrscht. Gemeinsam mit Tom und Alice macht er sich auf den Suche ...<p>  Stephen King schafft es auch diesmal, den Leser mit seiner ganz speziellen Mischung aus Splatter, Spannung und Humor so in den Bann seiner Geschichte zu ziehen, dass man das Buch einfach nicht mehr aus der Hand legen mag. Eine Quelle der Ablenkung dürfte ohnehin ausfallen: Spätestens nach 20 Seiten dürfte jeder Leser sein Handy ausgeschaltet haben. <em>--Ulrike Künnecke, Literaturtest</em></p></p></p>]]>

    <![CDATA[<em>The world had teeth and it could bite you with them anytime it wanted. Trisha McFarland discovered this when she was nine years old. Lost in the woods. Trying not to be terrified, trying not to let herself think that sometimes when people got lost in the woods, they got seriously hurt. Sometimes they died.</em><br/><br/>Trisha McFarland has only veered off the trail to get away from the bickering of her brother and recently divorced mother. She doesn't think there's any chance of losing her way.<br/><br/>Except, in her panic to get back on the path, Trisha takes a turning that leads into the tangled undergrowth. Deeper and deeper into the terrifying woods. At first it's just the midges and mosquitoes, hanging around her ears like helicopters, trying to drink her blood and sip her sweat. Then the hunger. For solace she tunes her Walkman into broadcasts of the Red Sox baseball games and the performances of her hero Tom Gordon. And when the reception begins to fade, Trisha imagines that Tom Gordon is with her.<br/><br/>As darkness begins to fall, Trisha begins to give up hope of being found. Alive. And as she struggles for survival and a way out, she realises that she's not alone. There's something else in the woods - watching. Waiting...<br/><br/>A classic story that engages our emotions at the most primal level. <em>The Girl who Loved Tom Gordon</em> explores our deep dread of the unknown and the extent to which faith can conquer it. Aglow with a girl's indomitable spirit, it is at once a powerful fairytale, an astounding allegory, and a brilliant contemporary portrait of a girl and her sports hero.]]>

    <![CDATA[ In der scheinbar paradiesischen Stadt French Landing im US-Bundesstaat Wisconsin kommt es zu merkwüdigen Ereignissen: Eine Kuh spricht, ein alter Mann gehorcht sonderbaren inneren Marschbefehlen, ein Haus exisitert und dann doch wieder nicht. Und ein schrecklicher Bösewicht mit dem Spitznamen &quot;Fisherman&quot; streunt durch die Straßen. Er entführt und tötet kleine Kinder und isst ihr Fleisch. Der Sheriff bittet verzweifelt einen pensionierten Polizisten aus Los Angeles um Hilfe, der in einem Nachbarort einen anderen Serienmörder gefasst hat.<p>  Natürlich handelt es sich dabei nicht um einen gewöhnlichen Polizisten, sondern um Jack Sawyer, den Helden des Romans <em>Der Talisman</em>von King und Straub. Am Ende jenes Buches hatte der 13-jährige Jack eine strapaziöse Reise durch ein fremdes Reich mit dem Namen &quot;Region&quot; hinter sich, einen geheimnisvollen Talisman gefunden, einen entsetzlichen Feind getötet und das Leben seiner Mutter und ihres Pendants in der Region gerettet. Inzwischen ist Jack in den Dreißigern und er hat den Talisman vergessen. Seine abenteuerliche Reise hält er für die Halluzinationen eines Jugendlichen mit zu viel Fantasie.<p>  Es ist der Fisherman, der Jack unvermittelt in den Fall -- und die Region -- hineinzieht: Er schickt ihm einen Kinderschuh mit dem dazugehörigen Fuß darin. Bald pendelt Jack zwischen French Landing und der Region hin und her, wobei ihm sein Freund Speedy Parker, an den er 20 Jahre lang nicht mehr gedacht hat, zur Seite steht, sowie ein blinder Diskjockey, die wunderschöne Mutter eines der vermissten Kinder und eine Motorradbande mit dem schönen Namen &quot;Hegelianischer Abschaum&quot;. Er verfolgt den Fisherman und noch einen viel größeren Fisch: den &quot;Abbalah&quot;, den Purpurkönig, der die Achse der Welt zerstören möchte.<p>  <em>Der Talisman</em> war noch ein vergleichsweise geradliniges Fantasy-Abenteuer, <em>Das schwarze Haus</em> ist deutlich vielfältiger und komplexer -- eine Fantasygeschichte in einer Horrorgeschichte in einem Krimi, voller cleverer Anspielungen auf Charles Dickens, Edgar Allan Poe, Jazz, Baseball und Stephen Kings Saga um <em>Der Dunkle Turm</em>. Freunde von <em>Der Talisman</em> werden feststellen, dass sich der selbstsichere Jack gut gehalten hat -- wie auch der Schreibstil von King und Straub, der im Verlauf von zwei Jahrzehnten an Niveau gewonnen hat. <em>--Barrie Trinkle</em></p></p></p>]]>

    <![CDATA[You're in the Army now, son...<br/><br/>New Year's Day, 1990. The Berlin Wall is coming down. The Cold War is ending. Soon America won't have any enemies left. The Army won't have anybody to fight. Things are going to change. Jack Reacher is the Military Police duty officer on a base in North Carolina when he takes a call reporting a dead soldier in a hot-sheets motel. Reacher tells the local cops to handle it—heart attacks happen all the time.<br/><br/>But why is Reacher in North Carolina, instead of Panama, where the action is? Then the dead man turns out to have been a two-star general who should have been in Europe. And when Reacher goes to the general's house to break the news, he finds another corpse: the general's wife. What is he dealing with here? The last echoes of the old world... or the first shocks of the new?<br/><br/>Winner of 2005 Nero, Barry and (yes, this is not a typo) Jack Reacher awards. The Nero Award, for literary excellence in the mystery genre, is awarded by The Wolfe Pack. The Barry Award for Best Novel of the Year is awarded by Deadly Pleasures magazine. The Jack Reacher Award win was the first annual award presented by Crime Spree Magazine and it was for the very readable, appealing-to-every-age, Jack Reacher novels! ]]>

    <![CDATA[The <em>New York Times</em> bestselling master of ticking-bomb suspense. <br/><br/> Eight vulnerable girls and their helpless teachers are forced off a school bus and held hostage. The madman who has them at gunpoint has a simple plan: one hostage an hour will die unless the demands are met. Called to the scene is Arthur Potter, the FBI's best hostage negotiator. He has a plan. But so does one of the hostages-a beautiful teacher who's willing to do anything to save the lives of her students. Now, the clock is ticking as a chilling game of cat and mouse begins.]]>

    <![CDATA[Watergate, Schmatergate, get a load of this: a dead infant, a sleazy president, a manic-depressive first lady, an aide that makes G. Gordon Liddy look like a wuss, murder, adultery, a thousand skeletons peeping from a thousand closets. <em>Exclusive</em> moves so quickly because somebody is always doing something bad. TV journalist Barrie Travis interviews the first lady, a Southern belle still mourning the death of her infant. With a mixture of horror and self-interest, Travis perceives the slightest hint that the first infant didn't merely die, but was murdered. But by who, and why? As you can imagine, that's when it gets messy. The book might capsize under the sheer weight of seamy scandals and sleazy characters were it not for the almost-supernaturally spunky Travis and her somewhat reluctant love-object, craggy ex-Marine Gray Bondurant. Bondurant left the White House under a cloud. Was he the first lady's lover? Travis and Bondurant come together to solve the mystery, of course. If you read fast, you might just keep up.]]>

    <![CDATA[From the bestselling author of <em>The Day of the Jackal</em>, international  master of intrigue Frederick Forsyth, comes a thriller that brilliantly  blends fact with fiction for one of this summer's--or any season's--most  explosive reads!<br/><br/>From the behind-the-scenes decision-making of the Allies to the secret meetings of Saddam Hussein's war cabinet, from the brave American fliers running their dangerous missions over Iraq to the heroic young spy planted deep in the heart of Baghdad, Forsyth's incomparable storytelling skill keeps the suspense at a breakneck pace.  Somewhere in Baghdad is the mysterious &quot;Jericho,&quot; the traitor who is willing--for a price--to reveal what is going on in the high councils of the Iraqi dictator.  But Saddam's ultimate weapon has been kept secret even from his most trusted advisers, and the nightmare scenario that haunts General Schwarzkopf and his colleagues is suddenly imminent, unless somehow, the spy can locate that weapon--The Fist of God--in time.<br/><br/>Peopled with vivid characters, brilliantly displaying Forsyth's incomparable, knowledge of intelligence operations and tradecraft, moving back and forth<br/>between Washington and London, Baghdad and Kuwait, desert vastnesses and city bazaars, this breathtaking novel is an utterly convincing story of what may<br/>actually have happened behind the headlines.]]>

    <![CDATA[<p> Near Houston, Texas, an oil refinery belonging to one of the world's largest energy companies is obliterated by a &quot;backpack&quot; nuclear device -- the first of many planned global attacks against corporations and government organizations accused of plundering the world's natural resources. </p> <p> A horrific act of war has been perpetrated against the U.S. and her interests -- and Major Jason Richter and his top-secret, high-tech Task Force TALON are dispatched to pursue, engage, and destroy this virulent new strain of terrorism. </p> <p> Yet Richter's plan of swift, brutal, and unconventional action is threatened by an enemy buried deep in the highest level of government -- a mole whose blind desire for personal vengeance could doom Richter and his team . . . and America. </p>]]>
