Ergebnis für "Das Tor" in Erstkontakt

Ein außerirdisches Wesen ist auf die Erde entkommen. Das Tor ist von amerikanischen Truppen besetzt, und die einzigen Menschen, die den fremden Planeten je betreten haben, sind im Gewahrsam der CIA. Ausgerechnet jetzt erscheint eine Kraft mit feindlichen Absichten, die sowohl Xibalbá als auch die Erde bedroht. Können Tyler und Adriana ihre neuen Freunde auf der anderen Seite des Portals retten – und zugleich ihre Heimat vor einer Invasion bewahren?

Monate nach der Expedition durch DAS TOR quält sich Tyler Drake noch immer mit den grausigen Folgen. Da kommt ihm der Hilferuf aus Mexiko gerade recht: Adrianas Bruder wird vermisst – und scheint sich allein auf den Weg in die Welt jenseits der Höhle gemacht zu haben. Wieder beginnt ein Rennen gegen die Zeit – doch diesmal hat das Team nicht nur mit den Gefahren einer exotischen Welt zu kämpfen, sondern auch mit irdischen wie außerirdischen Gegnern, von deren Existenz sie nicht einmal geahnt haben.

I awaken to the touch of cold metal hands and talking holograms. Paralyzed and dependent on the Others. They tell me a story . . . at first; I refuse to believe. A story of no return and extreme loss, but one of the voices is different. He projects anger and distrust . . . but his hands . . . even though cold and hard, are always gentle. I have come to crave the sound of his growls because I know within moments, he will hold me in his arms. When my sight returns. I was not prepared to see what he really was, but when he collapsed in front of me, his body failing.

My harsh, brutal features have deterred all females, no matter the species. Then I find her, my Kismet, the only one made just for me. But the fates are cruel, especially to a male like me. I am being forced to destroy the fragile bond that has formed between us, as I have to make the hardest decision of my life. One that will make me lose her either way. Upon her final breath, I vow not even Death will keep what's mine.

She is like a wild animal, cornered and frightened, unwilling to accept any sort of kindness. A fiery soul trapped inside a mind littered with insecurities and heartache. I ache for a kind word or a gentle touch as my body reacts to her slightest touches. How do I convince her to put aside the pain she has endured and take a chance on the unknown, on me? The fates put her in my path for a reason, and I will find a way to tame the fire that consumes her.
