Now a MAJOR NEW NETFLIX SERIES, this must-read story is a confident, action-and-violence packed thriller, and future classic noir SF novel from a multi-award-winning author.

Mit der Besiedelung des Mars haben dort auch Korruption, Machtgier und Gewalt Einzug gehalten. Einflussreiche Großkonzerne kämpfen um ihren Profit, die neugegründete Mars-Bewegung um ihre Unabhängigkeit von der Erde. Kein Wunder, dass Ex-Soldat Hakan Veil genug vom Roten Planeten hat und zurück auf die Erde möchte. Als Gegenleistung für sein Flugticket muss er noch einen einzigen Auftrag erfüllen: Er soll Special Agent Madison Madekwe bei ihren Ermittlungen im Fall eines verschwundenen Lotto-Millionärs unterstützen. Noch ahnt Veil nicht, dass ihn dieser Fall tiefer in die dunklen Geheimnisse des Mars führen wird, als er je zu befürchten wagte ...

Place-Names of Carmarthenshire is the first publication to investigate all major place-names in the historic county of Carmarthen (1536-1974), including the westerly parts of the county transferred to modern Pembrokeshire after 1996. Tracing the history of Welsh place-names casts light upon the ways in which our ancestors lived and how they thought about the world around them. The meaning of place-names, however, is not always easy to determine because their written and spoken forms have often changed over time and particularly when the language in a particular location switched from Welsh to English. Fortunately, Carmarthenshire was not so markedly affected in this respect as many other parts of Wales but it is still easy to be mislead by modern spellings. Illustrated with many images of the county, Place-Names of Carmarthenshire examines more than 920 place-names and features a 1,000-entry Glossary of place-name elements, personal names and rivers, and is the result of the author's detailed research in archives and reference libraries.

Place-Names of Glamorgan investigates the historical evidence and meanings of more than 1,100 place-names in the historic county of Glamorgan, stretching from Rhossili to Rumney and Rhoose to Rhigos.

Words and watercolor are a sensual marriage. Both must seem spontaneous and flow down the page as though they always resided there. The words of the poem or the edges of the watercolor are easy and soft until the author or the artist wants to focus the observer's attention and then they are pointed and hard.I Am Sea Glass is a collection of words and watercolors that reflect each other like light reflecting between two polished mirrors.
