Lady Trent ist die herausragendste und erfolgreichste Drachenforscherin der Welt. Einst war sie ein junges Mädchen, vernarrt in Bücher und lernbegierig, das den erstickenden Konventionen ihrer Zeit trotzte und ihren guten Ruf, ihre Zukunft und ihre zarte Haut aufs Spiel setzte, um ihre wissenschaftliche Neugier zu befriedigen.

One of the world’s most beloved science fiction authors offers an unflinching look into the inner recesses of his mind through delightful (and delightfully embarrassing) vignettes from his storied career and life. Arguably the greatest science fiction writer who ever lived, Isaac Asimov also...

You, dear listener, continue at your own risk. It is not for the faint of heart - no more so than the study of dragons itself. But such study offers rewards beyond compare: to stand in a dragon's presence, even for the briefest of moments - even at the risk of one's life - is a delight that, once experienced, can never be forgotten….All the world, from Scirland to the farthest reaches of Eriga, know Isabella, Lady Trent, to be the world's preeminent dragon naturalist.

Even those who take no interest in the field of dragon naturalism have heard of Lady Trent's expedition to the inhospitable deserts of Akhia. Her discoveries there are the stuff of romantic legend, catapulting her from scholarly obscurity to worldwide fame. The details of her personal life during that time are hardly less private, having provided fodder for gossips in several countries.

The companion volume to The Earth Chronicles series that reveals the identity of mankind’s ancient gods Explains why these “gods” from Nibiru, the Anunnaki, genetically engineered Homo sapiens, gave Earthlings civilization, and promised to return Zecharia Sitchin’s bestselling series...

Some of the parchment pages were the color of cream, thick and substantial, made to last many, many lifetimes. Other pages were thin and desiccated, positively yellow from age, and crackled alarmingly as Van Richten turned them over. There were no ornate illuminations, no fussy borders, only lines of plain text in hard black ink. The flowing handwriting was a bit difficult to follow at first; the writer's style of calligraphy had not been in common use for 300 years. No table of contents, but from the dates it looked to be some kind of history.

After nearly five decades, one might think they were wellacquainted with Lady Isabella Trent - dragon naturalist, scandalous explorer, and perhaps as infamous for her company and feats of daring as she is famous for her discoveries and additions to the scientific field. And yet - after her initial adventure in the mountains of Vystrana and her exploits in the depths of war-torn Eriga, to the high seas aboard the Basilisk and then to the inhospitable deserts of Akhia - Lady Trent has captivated hearts along with fierce minds.

Sechs Jahre nach ihren riskanten Aktionen in Eriga bricht Isabella zu ihrer bisher ehrgeizigsten Expedition auf: einer zwei Jahre langen Reise um die Welt, um Drachen an jedem Ort zu erforschen, wo man sie finden kann. Von gefiederten Echsen, die sich in den Ruinen einer vernichteten Zivilisation sonnen, bis zu den riesigen Seeschlangen der Tropen stellen diese Kreaturen eine Quelle sowohl endloser Faszination als auch häufiger Lebensgefahr dar.

Aufmerksame Hörer wissen bereits, wie sich die belesene und zielstrebige Isabella auf den historischen Weg gemacht hat, der sie eines Tages zur führenden Drachenforscherin der Welt machen würde. In diesem beeindruckend offenherzigen Nachfolger blickt Lady Trent auf die nächsten Schritte ihrer glorreichen (und gelegentlich skandalösen) Karriere zurück. Drei Jahre nach ihrer schicksalhaften Reise durch die abschreckenden Gebirge von Vystrana ignoriert Lady Trent gängige Konventionen und bricht zu einer Expedition auf, die sie auf den wilden, kriegszerrütteten Kontinent Erga führt.

Six years after her perilous exploits in Eriga, Isabella embarks on her most ambitious expedition yet: a two-year trip around the world to study all manner of dragons in every place they might be found. From feathered serpents sunning themselves in the ruins of a fallen civilization to the mighty sea serpents of the tropics, these creatures are a source of both endless fascination and frequent peril.

Lady Trents Entdeckungen in Akhien sind der Stoff romantischer Legenden und haben sie von akademischer Bedeutungslosigkeit zu weltweitem Ruhm katapultiert. Die Details ihres Privatlebens während jener Zeit sind ebenso bekannt und haben bis über die Landesgrenzen hinaus für Aufregung gesorgt. Doch, wie es in der Karriere dieser schillernden Frau so oft der Fall ist, ist die Geschichte, welche die Öffentlichkeit kennt, bei Weitem nicht vollständig.

When hope fades, the shadows fight back. After the brutal Saluki Inu invasion nearly annihilated humanity, the battle for survival continues—not just against alien forces, but against secrets that could unravel everything. Shaman—the bio-synthetic shapeshifter, haunted by visions and bound by sacrifice—emerges from the shadows to protect the last survivors. When he rescues the injured Professor Cameron, it sparks a desperate chain of events that forces the resistance to flee. With their enemies closing in, Shaman must confront his fractured past and the truth behind his mysterious powers.

After a catastrophic alien invasion led by the brutal Saluki Inu, humanity is all but extinct. Michael Zane—former slacker, reluctant hero, and the last known human survivor—emerges from the ashes of a dying world to lead a resistance buried deep underground. Haunted by loss and driven by purpose, Michael joins forces with rebels, outcasts, and unexpected allies—including a ghostly girl, a rogue alien warrior, and a mysterious strategist from a forgotten moon.

In diesem letzten Band wird endlich die Wahrheit hinter Lady Trents berühmtberüchtigtstem Abenteuer enthüllt: Sie trotzte dem höchsten Gebirge der Welt, das weit hinter dem Territorium von Scirlands Feinden liegt - und machte dort im Heiligtum der Schwingen eine überraschende Entdeckung.
