Bücher von Eric Brown

Dieses Buch ist wahrlich eine Besonderheit: Es stammt aus der Feder des damaligen Chefeinfliegers der Royal Navy, Eric Brown, der kurz nach Kriegsende 55 verschiedene deutsche Beuteflugzeuge flog und bewertete. Durch seine Kontakte zu deutschen Konstrukteuren kam Brown an umfangreiches Hintergrundmaterial. Es entstand dieses Buch, in dem die Entwicklung, die Eigenschaften und die Technik der berühmtesten deutschen Flugzeuge niedergeschrieben sind. Die lebendigen Schilderungen, Fotos und aussagekräftigen Schnittzeichnungen machen das Buch zu einem Muss für jeden, der sich mit deutschen Flugzeugen des Zweiten Weltkrieges beschäftigt.

Award-winning author Eric Brown delivers a fabulous slice of planetary romance, traditional in style but wholly contemporary in its delivery.Former pilot and planetary pioneer Jonathan James is tempted out of retirement by an offer he can't refuse. It means going back to the one place he vowed never to return to: Arcturus Seven. A Closed Planet; a hothouse world where every plant and animal is hell-bent on killing and consuming you; the place that cost him the life of the only woman he has ever truly loved. Jonathan knows the wealthy tycoon seeking to recruit him cannot be trusted, but he has no choice. If he doesn't do it, someone else will, and Arcturus Seven has a secret, one which must never be disclosed, so Jonathan accepts the mission even though it means facing memories he has spent years denying. A sparkling tale of romance, intrigue, and adventure; comforting in its setting, brilliant in its execution.
