An orphan leaves Dark Ages London, taking a dangerous journey and posing as a Jew to study medicine in Persia, in "an adventurous and inspiring tale" (Library Journal).
A child holds the hand of his dying mother and is terrified, aware something is taking her. Orphaned and given to an itinerant barber-surgeon, Rob Cole becomes a fast-talking swindler, peddling a worthless medicine. But as he matures, his strange gift - an acute sensitivity to impending death - never leaves him, and he yearns to become a healer.
Arab madrassas are the only authentic medical schools, and he makes his perilous way to Persia. Christians are barred from Muslim schools, but claiming he is a Jew, he studies under the world's most renowned physician, Avicenna. How the woman who is his great love struggles against her only rival - medicine - makes a riveting modern classic.
The Physician is the first book in New York Times best-selling author Noah Gordon's Dr. Robert Cole trilogy, which continues with Shaman and concludes with Matters of Choice.

Geschichte
Triple is the story of the most successful espionage coup - and best-kept secret - of this century. This taut espionage thriller comes from master of the genre, Ken Follett. It is 1968. Israeli intelligence has learned that Egypt, with Soviet help, will develop atomic bombs within months - an untimely end for the young nation unless a source of uranium for Israeli bombs can be had in complete secrecy. Impossible, of course, unless someone as improbable as the plan can be found to steal it.

Michael Kind is raised in the Jewish cauldron of 1920s New York, familiar with the stresses and materialism of metropolitan life. Turning to the ancient set of ethics of his Orthodox grandfather, with a modern twist, he becomes a Reform rabbi. As insecure and sexually needy as any other young male, he serves as a circuit-rider rabbi in the Ozarks, and then as a temple rabbi in the racially ugly South, in a San Francisco suburb, in a Pennsylvania college town, and, finally, in a New England community west of Boston.

The Ruhar hit us on Columbus Day. There we were, innocently drifting along the cosmos on our little blue marble, like the Native Americans in 1492. Over the horizon came ships of a technologically advanced, aggressive culture, and BAM! There went the good old days, when humans got killed only by each other. So, Columbus Day. It fits. When the morning sky twinkled again, this time with Kristang starships jumping in to hammer the Ruhar, we thought we were saved.

Alfie McAlister has retreated from London to the peace and quiet of the country to recover from a personal tragedy. But an accidental death - which may have been no accident - reveals that the heart of England is far from the tranquil backwater he imagined.

Eine gute Geschichte durch den Sprecher ruiniert
Das Buch las ich vor Jahrzehnten mit Genuss, hatte mich auf das Hörbuch gefreut.
Der Sprecher (Richard Higgins) wäre super zum Verlesen von Nachrichten, aber hier vollkommen ungeeignet.
Der schottische Dialekt klingt mal nach Dublin, mal nach West Country, aber niemals auch nur ansatzweise Schottisch.
Dialekte und Akzente sind leider so gar nicht seine Stärke.
"Murmelte er" wird gerufen und eben nicht gemurmelt; da könnte die Aufnahmeleitung aufmerksamer sein oder der Sprecher sich besser vorbereiten.
Insgesamt bin ich sehr enttäuscht, habe auch mittendrin abgebrochen und kann nur hoffen, dass dem Sprecher der Gig mehr Freude gebracht hat als mir das Anhören.
Ob ich das Guthaben wohl reklamieren kann . . .

Unlikely things happening all the time...
The basic story is not bad, but it is diminished by all the extremely unlikely things happening to the hero to make the story progress.
