Zeigt Titel in Anthologien & Kurzgeschichten

Eine Welt, in der Töne und Klänge nicht zur Unterhaltung, sondern dazu genutzt werden, Menschen zu unterdrücken, zu bestrafen und zu versklaven. In dieser Welt versuchen Rebellen, der Diktatur die ultimative Waffe zu entreißen, bevor sie die letzte Hoffnung verlieren.

Von Science-Fiction über Steampunk, Fantasy und Horror.
