Man vs Beast
En Anglais – CHERUB agents are all seventeen and under. They wear skate tees and hemp, and look like regular kids. But they're not. They are trained professionals who are sent out on missions to spy on terrorists and international drug dealers. CHERUB agents hack into computers, bug entire houses, and download crucial documents. It is a highly dangerous job. For their safety, these agents DO NOT EXIST. Mainstream animal protection groups have always stayed within the law, but a new band of radical liberationists argues that if humans and animals are equal, then it's right to kill or threaten one human in order to save the lives of many animals. In a new mission, James and the other CHERUB agents must go up against the most radical group yet in a daring and violent attempt to save hundreds of lives… including their own.
Undermajordomo minor
En Anglais – Lucy Minor is the resident odd duck in the hamlet of Bury. He is a compulsive liar, a sickly weakling in a town famous for begetting brutish giants. Then Lucy accepts employment assisting the majordomo of the remote, foreboding Castle Von Aux. While tending to his new post as undermajordomo, he soon discovers the place harbours many dark secrets, not least of which is the whereabouts of the castle's master, Baron Von Aux. Thus begins a tale of polite theft, bitter heartbreak, domestic mystery, and cold-blooded murder. Undermajordomo Minor is an ink-black comedy of manners, an adventure, and a mystery, and a searing portrayal of rural Alpine bad behaviour, but above all it is a love story. And Lucy must be careful, for love is a violent thing.
Die Beute
En allemand – Dies ist die Geschichte des weißen Mannes Mahoney, der im schwärzesten Erdteil zur Welt kam. Vitalität zeichnet ihn aus: Unruhe und Leidenschaft. Seine Beute findet er nicht nur als Jäger in Steppe und Urwald, sondern auch auf der Jagd nach Liebe. Vor Mahoneys Leidenschaft flieht die schöne Suzie de Villiers, um immer wieder seine glückliche Beute zu werden. Ein Roman von wildem Verlangen, von Verweigerung und Hingabe vor dem grandiosen Hintergrund Afrikas. Während die Medizinmänner um Regen bitten, erhitzt die Glut der ewigen Sonne die Sinne von Mensch und Tier: Es ist heiß im Tal des Sambesi. Elefantenbullen bespringen ihre Kühe, Löwen knurren an der Seite ihrer schlanken Löwinnen.
