Dai Dark

Zaha Sanko ist im Besitz von wahrhaft außergewöhnlichen Kräften! Es heißt, dass seine Knochen einem jeden Wunsch zu erfüllen vermögen – selbst die Herrschaft über das ganze Universum ist mit ihnen kein ferner Traum mehr! Doch Sanko ist eigentlich nur ein ganz normaler Teenager, und dass ihm das ganze Geschmeiß der Galaxis ans Leder will, stinkt ihm gewaltig. Gemeinsam mit seinem knochigen Kumpel Avakian macht er sich daher auf eine abenteuerliche Reise quer durchs Weltall, um denjenigen aufzuspüren, der seine Knochen verflucht hat …

Q-Hayashida: Dai Dark 1

Dai Dark 1

Um sich sein Schiff zurückzuholen, das er vor Jahren vor Koryokukai versteckt hat, hat Damemaru die Moja auf einem namenlosen Planeten landen lassen. Doch die einst blühende (wenn auch ziemlich rückständige!) Zivilisation wurde von einer Katastrophe unvorstellbaren Ausmaßes heimgesucht. Als Shimada, Sanko und Avakian nach langer Suche endlich über einen Bewohner stolpern, müssen sie feststellen, dass diese halbe Portion erschreckend viel mit Damemaru gemein hat ...

Dai Dark 8

Nach vielen Jahren steht Hinata Boggo seiner Nemesis erneut gegenüber. Dass er dafür zum labbrigen Lichtkernwesen mit dem klangvollen Namen Hinoumi-Wah werden musste, ist zwar bedauerlich, aber wenn er dafür Meatball Spaghetti (besser bekannt als Zaha Sanko) plattmachen kann, ist kein Preis zu hoch. Für Sanko hingegen sieht die Lage nicht ganz so rosig aus. Denn Shinelight Ocean ist nicht nur ziemlich eklig, sondern auch wahnsinnig stark. Und als wenn das nicht genug wäre, hat das Lichtkernwesen Sanko auch noch einen seiner wunscherfüllenden Knochen geklaut ...

Dai Dark 7

Sanko und seine Freunde haben sich auf den Weg nach Kenzan gemacht, einem Planeten, der unter der Kontrolle des Light-Head-Ordens steht. Dort versuchen sie, einen der Obermacker des Ordens ausfindig zu machen, um Information über den geheimnisvollen Ort Zora aus ihm rauszuquetschen. Doch so unauffällig, wie sie sind, werden die Abscheulichen Vier natürlich auf der Stelle entdeckt! Da Damemaru selbstredend schon wieder sofort ins Gras beißt und noch dazu Sanko und Shimada aus Versehen entführt werden, muss ausgerechnet Avakian zum Helden der Stunde werden!

Dai Dark 6

Nachdem sie den letzten übertrieben merkwürdigen Meuchelmörder platt gemacht haben, haben Zaha Sanko und seine Freunde beschlossen, im Dunkel, der geheimnisvollen Welt der Finsternis, eine kleine Erholungspause einzulegen. Das Dunkel selbst mag vielleicht viele Geheimnisse beherbergen, doch keines von ihnen kommt an Sankos Begleiter Hajime Damemaru ran. Wer ist Damemaru eigentlich, und warum zum Henker will der Kerl einfach nicht tot bleiben?!

Dai Dark 5

Um Zaha Sanko und seine verfluchten wunscherfüllenden Knochen endlich in die Finger zu kriegen, ist dem Weltraumkonzern Koryokukai alles recht! Daher haben sie sich mit der Bruderschaft des Lichts zusammengeschlossen, einem uralten Weltraumkult, der es ebenfalls auf Sanko abgesehen hat und nun an einer neuen Geheimwaffe tüftelt. Doch glücklicherweise hat Sanko nicht nur die geheimnisvolle Kraft der Dunkelheit auf seiner Seite, sondern auch einen Haufen erschreckend mächtiger Weltraumspinner! Blöd nur, dass Letztere ebenfalls auf der Abschussliste stehen ...

Dai Dark 4

Eigentlich ist Zaha Sanko ein ganz normaler Teenager. Wenn man davon absieht, dass seine Knochen mit einem Fluch belegt sind. Und er nicht gerade Leute mit seiner Axt aus purer Dunkelheit abschlachtet. Also eigentlich ist Zaha Sanko ein ganz normaler Teenager – und noch dazu der meistgesuchte Typ im Universum. Und im Augenblick Gefangener eines uralten Weltraumkults. Doch glücklicherweise eilen seine Freunde (auch bekannt als die anderen meistgesuchten Typen des Universums) schon zu seiner Rettung!

Dai Dark 3

Zaha Sanko hat’s nicht leicht! Denn egal wohin er auch geht, der Tod folgt ihm wortwörtlich auf Schritt und Tritt … sehr zum Verdruss von Sankos knochigem Kumpel Avakian, denn der kann Shimada Death wirklich nicht leiden! Doch wenn einen quasi das gesamte Universum abmurksen will, kann man nicht wählerisch sein, was seine Verbündeten angeht. Während das tollkühne Trio nun fröhlich durchs Weltall cruist, treffen sie die merkwürdigsten Gestalten. Wie zum Beispiel die Einzelteile von Hajime Damemaru, seines Zeichens stinknormaler Typ, dessen geheimnisvolle Kräfte einiges an Chaos anrichten!

Neuland Saga

"Die Crew der TOMBSTONE hat es rausgeschafft", grinste Ben seine Partnerin an. Laura lächelte. Eine gute Meldung. Sie hatten Schiffe schon genug, nur keine funktionierenden Crews. Jim würde ein anderes Schiff bekommen.
"Funkspruch von der RESCUE-Alpha der TOMSTONE", meldete der Droide Funky.
"Lass hören", verlangte Laura.
"Ich stell durch."
"Hier ist die RESCUE-Alpha der TOMBSTONE. Der Captain ist nicht bei uns an Bord. Er hat wie üblich gewartet, bis alle durch den Schacht waren. Danach ist das Ding auf Störung gegangen. Da niemand mehr durch die Röhre gelangen konnte und die Vernichtung unseres Schiffes bevorstand, haben wir gemeinsam beschlossen, zu starten."
Laura biss sich auf die Lippen: "Eine richtige Entscheidung, RESCUE-Alpha. Unser Flight wird euch reinholen."

Nur heftig ...

Shakespeare Retold

Shakespeare's The Merchant of Venice is brilliantly reinvented by Howard Jacobson, in his merciless, sharp and funny story of revenge, justice and antisemitism. With an absent wife and a daughter going off the rails, wealthy art collector and philanthropist Simon Strulovitch is in need of someone to talk to. So when he meets Shylock at a cemetery in Cheshire's Golden Triangle, he invites him back to his house. It's the beginning of a remarkable friendship... Howard Jacobson's version of The Merchant of Venice bends time to its own advantage as it asks what it means to be a father, a Jew and a merciful human being in the modern world. 'Inspired...It does what any good literary subversion should do: deepens and enhances one's appreciation of the original' Guardian 'Jacobson's prose has the sort of elastic precision you only get from a writer who is truly in command... There's also deep and sincere soul-searching going on here' Independent SHAKESPEARE RETOLD: Time travel. Zombies. Power-hungry media moguls. This is Shakespeare as you've never seen him before: nine iconic plays transformed by the best novelists of our time, with covers by Michael Craig-Martin.

The Once and Future Queen

In this modern day fairy tale, seven sisters raised in the woods fight to keep their freedom.Deep in the woods of western Finland, a bear hunter has raised his seven daughters to live off the land and steer clear of the trappings of life in town, like cell phones and a social life outside their family. When on his youngest Elga’s twelfth birthday the hunter is killed by his prey, and their mother dies soon thereafter, the sisters are left with unpaid bills and a leaky house. The tension between sticking to the wild ways their father taught them and submitting to well-meaning townsfolk’s efforts to “help” threatens to divide the seven sisters. Eldest Johanna tries to wield control, young Elga feels tempted by the pull to education, artist Laura spends all her time dreaming up sculptures and exploring nature – but their trips to the farmer’s market to sell foraged mushrooms and their free time exploring their vast forest home bring them together in riotous fun. With evocative language and visceral scene-setting, readers get lost in world they’ve invented together and join the fight to protect it.Inspired by Aleksis Kivi’s classic Finnish novel&nbsp;Seven Brothers&nbsp;(1870), The Bear Hunter’s Daughters is at once realistic and fantastical, an intensely sensory exploration of our essential bonds both with nature and with one another.

"Go jump in a lake! Bawdy, fantastic, and surprisingly poignant, The Bear Hunter's Daughters is the perfect book for the wildest person in your life. Told with brio and humor, this fable of the seven redhaired sisters settles deep in your bones. I loved it from beginning to end." - Keith Donohue, author of The Girl in the Bog and The Stolen ChildIn this funny and unforgettable modern day fairy tale, seven sisters raised in the woods fight to keep their freedom.Deep in the woods of western Finland, a bear hunter has raised his seven daughters to live off the land and steer clear of the trappings of life in town, like cell phones and a social life outside their family.

A lively graphic history of Black life in America, from the award-winning political cartoonist Ben Passmore It's the summer of 2020, and downtown Philly is up in flames. "You're not out in the streets with everyone else?" Ronnie asks his ambivalent son, Ben, shambling in with arms full of used books: the works of Malcom X, Robert F. Williams, Assata and Sanyika Shakur, among others. "Black liberation is your fight, too." So begins Black Arms to Hold You Up, a boisterous, darkly funny, and sobering march through Black militant history. From Robert Charles's shootout with the police in 1900, to the Black Power movement in the 1960s, to the Los Angeles and George Floyd uprisings of the 1990s and the aughts, readers will tumble through more than a century of armed resistance against the racist state alongside Ben-and meet firsthand the mothers and fathers of the movement, whose stories were as tragic as they were heroic. What, after so many decades lost to state violence, is there left to fight for? Deeply researched, vibrantly drawn, and bracingly introspective, Black Arms to Hold You Up dares to find the answer.

A Novel

The Book Witch

Shakespeare's The Taming of the Shrew is hilariously reimagined by one of our greatest living novelists, in this very funny, heartbreaking story of one woman, two men and unconventional happy endings. Kate Battista is stuck. How did she end up running house and home for her eccentric scientist father and infuriating younger sister Bunny? Dr Battista has other problems. His brilliant young lab assistant, Pyotr, is about to be deported. And without Pyotr, his new scientific breakthrough will fall through... When Dr Battista cooks up an outrageous plan that will enable Pyotr to stay in the country, he's relying - as usual - on Kate to help him. Will Kate be able to resist the two men's touchingly ludicrous campaign to win her round? Anne Tyler's brilliant retelling of The Taming of the Shrew asks whether a thoroughly modern woman like Kate would ever sacrifice herself for a man. The answer is as surprising as Kate herself. 'A thoroughly modern love story' Guardian, Book of the Year 'The worst wedding in history...vintage Anne Tyler' The Times SHAKESPEARE RETOLD: Time travel. Zombies. Power-hungry media moguls. This is Shakespeare as you've never seen him before: nine iconic plays transformed by the best novelists of our time, with covers by Michael Craig-Martin.
