Der Rabengott
'Es ist ein reines Vergnügen, etwas so Anderes, so Wunderbares zu lesen.' Patrick RothfussSeit Jahrhunderten wird das Königreich Iraden von einem Gott beschützt: Er heißt der Rabe und residiert in einem Turm in der mächtigen Hafenstadt Vastai. Von dort wacht er über das Reich. Seinen göttlichen Willen lässt er über einen Rabenvogel an seinen menschlichen 'Statthalter' kundtun.Der Vogel des Rabengottes ist tot, und die göttliche Regel schreibt vor, auch der "Statthalter" muss unverzüglich sterben, um Platz für seinen Nachfolger zu machen. Als Mawat, der rechtmäßige Erbe, mit seinem Freund, dem Kämpfer Eolo, in der Hauptstadt eintrifft, sitzt bereits ein Regent auf dem Herrscherstuhl - sein Onkel. Mawats Zorn kennt keine Grenzen und während er versucht, sein Reich zurückzuerobern, entdeckt Eolo, dass der Turm des Raben ein dunkles Geheimnis birgt: In seinem Fundament harrt eine Prophezeiung, die, wenn sie sich erfüllt, Iraden für immer zerstören könnte. Die preisgekrönte Science Fiction-Autorin Ann Leckie legt mit dem Rabengott ihren ersten High Fantasy-Roman vor. 'Scharfsinnig, vielschichtig und, wie immer bei Leckie, hochintelligent.'

Translation State
'There are few who write science fiction like Ann Leckie can. There are few who ever could' John Scalzi<BR><BR>The mystery of a missing translator sets three lives on a collision course that will have a ripple effect across the stars in this powerful new novel by award-winning author Ann Leckie. <BR><BR>Qven was created to be a Presger translator. The pride of their Clade, they always had a clear path before them: learn human ways, and eventually, make a match and serve as an intermediary between the dangerous alien Presger and the human worlds. The realization that they might want something else isn't "optimal behavior". I's the type of behavior that results in elimination. <BR><BR>But Qven rebels. And in doing so, their path collides with those of two others. Enae, a reluctant diplomat whose dead grandmaman has left hir an impossible task as an inheritance: hunting down a fugitive who has been missing for over 200 years. And Reet, an adopted mechanic who is increasingly desperate to learn about his genetic roots - or anything that might explain why he operates so differently from those around him.<BR><BR>As a Conclave of the various species approaches - and the long-standing treaty between the humans and the Presger is on the line - the decisions of all three will have ripple effects across the stars. <BR><BR>Masterfully merging space adventure and mystery, and a poignant exploration about relationships and belonging, Translation State is a triumphant new standalone story set in Leckie's celebrated Imperial Radch universe.<BR><BR>Hugo Award shortlist announced March 29th 2024.
