Beschreibung

A man in love. A man in debt. A man who can't stop chasing the one thing that keeps destroying him.
When tutor Alexei Ivanovich becomes entangled with a wealthy family obsessed with money and status, he is drawn into a whirlwind of passion, humiliation, and the intoxicating thrill of the roulette table. As debts grow and emotions spiral, Alexei's desire—for love, for luck, for power—pushes him toward choices that threaten to consume him entirely.

Praised as "a fiercely honest portrait of addiction and desire," this novel carries the raw energy of Dostoevsky's own struggles. It captures the fever of gambling, the chaos of unrequited love, and the psychological unraveling of a man trapped by his impulses.

If you crave intense emotional conflict, sharp social insight, and a story that races with tension, this classic will keep you turning pages.

Open the book—and step into a world where every spin of the wheel feels like fate.

    A Chinese sub in American waters. Rare elements every nation wants. Can Parkos prevent an environmental apocalypse—and a world war? 
    National Security Analyst Nick Parkos, still recovering from the Amber Dawn incident, uncovers a plot to control the US supply of rare earth elements vital to its military-defense systems. Teaming with former Navy SEAL Geoffrey Lange, he travels to Cape Lisberne, just off the coast of Alaska, to investigate. What he doesn’t know is that a foreign mastermind is actively working behind the scenes to discredit Parkos and hide the truth. 
    The situation soon escalates, and Parkos unearths evidence that a foreign power plans to explode a radioactive radiation dispersal device in Alaska, killing thousands and making the rare elements unobtainable. With time quickly running out, Parkos puts his life on the line to stop them from detonating the bomb. With the world watching and peace hanging in the balance, Parkos stares into the face of his greatest challenge. 
    Kenneth Andrus’ third Defenders novel is a thrilling roller-coaster ride based on his expert knowledge of the current military-political world. If you like breathtaking action based on real-world scenarios, you won’t want to miss Arctic Menace.

    Philip K. Dick was born on December 16, 1928, in Chicago, Illinois. His family moved frequently during his childhood, primarily due to his father's job, but also due to his parents' divorce when he was young, which led him to live with his mother. This nomadic childhood would influence his later writings, which often feature themes of dislocation and uncertainty. Philip attended Berkeley High School in California. He was a voracious reader, particularly of science fiction, which deeply influenced his literary interests. After high school, he briefly attended the University of California, Berkeley, but did not graduate. Instead, he started writing science fiction, selling his first short story, "Roog," in 1952 to The Magazine of Fantasy & Science Fiction. This began his prolific career where he would write over 120 short stories and 44 published novels. Dick's early works were primarily published in pulp magazines, but he soon transitioned to novels. His writing was characterized by its exploration of philosophical, theological, and psychological themes, often questioning the nature of reality, identity, and humanity. Notable works from this period include: 
    The Man in the High Castle (1962) - An alternate history novel where the Axis powers won World War II, which won the Hugo Award. 
    Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? (1968) - Later adapted into the film "Blade Runner," exploring themes of artificial intelligence and what it means to be human. 
    Ubik (1969) - A complex narrative dealing with reality, death, and corporate power. 
    Posthumously, Dick's influence has only grown. His works have been adapted into numerous films, TV shows, and other media, reflecting ongoing interest in his visions of dystopian futures, surveillance, simulated realities, and the essence of human consciousness.

    "If you've ever wished you could travel back in time to the days of Jesus and ask all of the most difficult questions, this is the novel for you. The Carpenter's Son brings Christ into our modern world and will fill the reader with love, hope and faith in, not just God, but a better world."—#1 New York Times bestselling author​ Richard Paul Evans
    Perfect for fans of The Shack and The Case for Christ, this inspirational novel is a reminder that, even in the darkest times, we are never alone.
    
    Award-winning journalist Brooklyn Sterling has built her career exposing frauds, corrupt politicians, and conmen in the pages of the Boston Globe. Hardened by personal tragedy and deeply skeptical of anything resembling faith, she's the last person to believe in miracles. So, when a series of so-called "divine acts" sweep through Boston—including lives inexplicably saved, a blind man suddenly seeing, and a child brought back to life—Brooklyn is determined to uncover the truth and expose the hoax.
    But Brooklyn's latest investigation takes an unexpected turn when she encounters a mysterious stranger who seems to appear at every miraculous event. As she digs deeper, the lines between skepticism and belief blur, and her carefully constructed worldview begins to crumble. When tragedy strikes close to home, Brooklyn is offered an opportunity no atheist could ever imagine: spend a day with Jesus Christ himself.
    In a journey filled with hard questions and unexpected answers, Brooklyn confronts the pain of her past, the world's deepest struggles, and the mystery of faith. From a family broken by loss to a carpenter's son who sees the heart of everyone he meets, Brooklyn is drawn into a story that will challenge everything she believes.
    The Carpenter's Son is a moving and thought-provoking novel that invites readers to walk alongside Jesus, laugh, cry, and see the world through his eyes. With unforgettable characters, profound insights, and a story of redemption and hope, this book will renew your faith in God, humanity, and the power of love.
