The Scorpions of the Desert 2 - The Spades of Danakil and Dry Martini Parlor

Hugo Pratt

Beschreibung

A fort in Dancalia February 1941. Attacked by an Italian plane, Loïnsky and his friends Hassan and Akavia become separated. Loïnsky finds refuge in an Italian fort in the Dancalian region, Fort Giuletti. Here he meets two new characters: Lieutenant de La Motte, a camel rider who has chosen to join the resistance, and an Asaimara warrior.
One surreal episode follows another to create a surprising tragicomic fresco, which the various actors (an alcoholic Italian commander, a disillusioned doctor, the French rebels and the beautiful Kismet...) only serve to make even stranger... Mundane conversation in Moulhoulé, February 1941. The African shore of the Red Sea (French Somali
coast). Koïnsky and de La Motte leave Fort Giuletti, and enter an area controlled by the terrible Danakils. Their car jumps out, and the two men reach the Moulhoulé fort. Fanfulla, the fort's Italian commander, the Frenchman, and the Pole begin their famous mundane conversation somewhere between fiction and reality. The main character in this series is Lieutenant Koinsky, a Pole who joined the British army after his country's surrender. We follow him on a series of adventures and encounters (Judittah Canaan, Cush, Stella, etc.) in which we recognize Pratt's style,reminiscent of the adventures of Corto Maltese. Koinsky, however, "is much tougher, more modern, less anarchistic than Corto, which makes him, in a way, closer to us." (Didier Platteau, in the introduction to the book).

Red Rising: Sons of Ares: Volume...

Pierce Brown, Rik Hoskin

"The third and final audiobook in the Red Rising: Sons Of Ares series is here! The last two entries into the Sons of Ares had Fitchner on his heels. In the first, he was driven by love and desperation to save his wife Brynn before her execution at the hands of the Board of Quality Control. Then, in book two, Fitchner went head to head with both of his early allies — Arturius and Quicksilver. His wrath left Arturius dead and set back Quicksilver’s dream of expanding exploration and human habitation to other stars. In Forbidden Song, Ares may not always be in control. But he has a plan — and it’s a doozy. FORBIDDEN SONG is one part Ocean’s 11, one part Les Miserable, and it sets the fuse for the Rising that Darrow will inherit.Adapted from the graphic novel and produced with a full cast of actors, immersive sound effects and cinematic music.Also available as a graphic novel from Dynamite Comics.Peformed by Richard Rohan, Holly Adams, Todd Scofield, Andy Brownstein, Ian Russell, Peter Stanley, David Jourdan,  Lise Bruneau, Nick DePinto, Stephanie Németh-Parker, Jenna Sharpe, Michael Glenn, Peter Holdway, Nanette Savard, Danny Gavigan, Carolyn Kashner, Jessica Lauren Ball, Christopher Williams, Ian Putnam, Hannah Curtis, Matthew Schleigh, Christopher Davenport, Zeke Alton and Alyssa Keegan."
