Ergebnis für "Die Sphinx" in Action & Abenteuer

Innerhalb einiger weniger kurzer Jahre hat sich David Weber mit seiner Serie um Honor Harrington, der zähesten und tüchtigsten Kommandantin eines Sternenschiffs in der Galaxis, an die Spitze der amerikanischen Science Fiction geschrieben. In diesem Hörbuch berichtet er u. a. von einer Vorfahrin seiner Heldin, die als erster Mensch die Brücke schlägt zu einer der geheimnisvollsten Spezies der Milchstraße - den Baumkatzen von Sphinx. Zum ersten Mal teilt David Weber sein Universum mit zwei bekannten Co-Autoren: David Drake und S. M. Stirling.

Forced by necessity into a life of piracy, Senlin and his eclectic crew struggle to survive aboard their stolen airship as the hunt for his lost wife continues. But the Tower of Babel is proving to be as difficult to re-enter as it was to escape.

Hopeless and desolate, they turn to a legend of the tower, the mysterious Sphinx. But help from the sphinx doesn't come cheaply and, as Senlin knows, debts aren't always what they seem in the Tower of Babel.

In 1844, Alexandre Dumas published The Three Musketeers, a novel so famous and still so popular today that it scarcely needs introduction. Shortly thereafter he wrote a sequel, Twenty Years After, that resumed the adventures of his swashbuckling heroes. Later, toward the end of his career, Dumas wrote The Red Sphinx, another direct sequel to The Three Musketeers that begins not 20 years later but a mere 20 days afterward. The Red Sphinx picks up right where the The Three Musketeers left off.
