Der Drache und das Einhorn erzählt die uralten Sagen um Merlin und König Arthur aus einem faszinierend neuen Blickwinkel. Im Mittelpunkt steht Ygrane, die Mutter des Retterkönigs der Kelten, und die dramatische Geschichte von der Zeugung und Geburt ihres Sohnes.

Zwei Milliarden Jahre in der Zukunft, nachdem die Erde längst untergegangen ist, erweckt eine fremde Macht die Menschheit in einem künstlichen Sonnensystem wieder zum Leben.

In den Kampf der Aliens gerät ein Liebespaar der ganz besonderen Art. Die linkische Chan-ti Beppo hat den heroischen Piloten Ted O'Tennis zu ihrem Geliebten gemacht, doch dann verschwindet ihr Held in den Wirren des Krieges. Und Chan-ti begibt sich auf die Suche - in einer Welt gigantischer Gefahren, wo die Menschen nur Marionetten sind in einem kosmischen Spiel. Nach seinem Welterfolg Radix (Bastei-Lübbe 24 059) legt A. A. ATTANASIO endlich wieder einen großen Science-Fiction-Roman vor.» Eine epische, phantastische und anrührende Liebesgeschichte« - Publishers Weekly. Deutsche Erstveröffentlichung

Ademon named Dren is looking for salvation. Satan's fiery underworld has become a foreign place to him. He feels he is different from the other souls. He's changed over time. He's ready for redemption. But getting out of hell is no easy task. Escaping was the easy part. But now, alone in a world unfamiliar to him, Dren must save a single soul in order to pass on to the heavens above. Billy is a young hoodlum working for a big-time mobster. Like Dren he has also changed. He wants out of the seedy underworld he calls his home. Just, one more run, one more big payday, and he's finished with it all. He'll, get his cash, grab the woman he loves, and be gone forever. But the mob doesn't look kindly on deserters. Satan has sent two rogue demons from hell to stop Dren. The mob has hired a conjurer named Nadja to kill Billy. In the end, the two must call on the powers of the Crow to, save them both -- waging a full-scale war on the mobsters of Earth above and the lord of darkness below.

One star-chained evening in a Manhattan bathroom, Carl Schirmer spontaneously combusts! His body transforms into light, mysteriously snatched from his banal life by an alien intelligence 130 billion years in the future. There, all spacetime is collapsing into a cosmic black hole, the Big Crunch – and a bold, cosmic destiny awaits Carl. Rebuilt from the remnants of his light by extraterrestrials for a cryptic purpose, he awakens in time’s last world, the strangest of all – the Werld. At the edge of infinity, Carl discovers the Foke, nomadic humans who travel among the floating islands of the Werld. The Foke teach him how to live – and love – at the end of time, and he loses his heart to his plucky guide, the beautiful Evoë. Their life together in this blissful kingdom that knows no aging or disease brings them to rapture – until Evoë falls prey to the zōtl, a spidery intelligence who hunt the Foke and eat the chemical by-products of their pain. In order to save his beloved from a gruesome death, Carl must return to Earth – 130 billion years earlier – where he is shocked to discover that the Earth he’s come back to is not the one he left. Can he meet the harsh demands of his task before the zōtl find him and begin ravishing the Earth?
