Beschreibung

Hamburg, 1947.

Adam is a young British lawyer is posted to the destroyed city to assist in the prosecution of Nazi war criminals, an exhausting, soul-destroying and demoralising task.

He falls in love with a German prostitute during a time of strict anti-fraternisation rules. Rose is beautiful, educated, clever, witty … and Adam becomes increasingly obsessed with her.

Then a Nazi prisoner, responsible for the cold-blooded killing of hundreds of innocents, escapes while in Adam's custody. There is only one place for the desperate man to hide: in Hamburg's forbidden Dead Zone. And Adam is even more desperate to find him, no matter what the cost.

At once an adventure, an unconventional love story and an examination of individual culpability in the face of historical horrors. The novel poses uncomfortable questions about ordinary Germans and their possible collusion in the atrocities committed in the name of the Fatherland, and whether people from other nations, in the same circumstances, would have behaved differently. Those of us who look back in time can only hope we will never be similarly tested.

    Warning: Explicit Content. Tom Porter knows that his wife Mindy’s decision to call in sick is a bad idea—a very bad idea. You don’t fool around with a mega-company like Sanitas Pharmaceuticals or a ruthless CEO like Miles Copeland. This big, beefy, black billionaire is not one to play games with…and if he ever finds out that Mindy isn’t at all sick, well, she can just kiss her high-paying job goodbye.  
     
    Not that Mindy means any harm. She just wants to take a fun-day once in a while. In fact, the minute Tom comes out of the shower early the next morning, she’s all over him, wanting to start her fun-day in the most fun way she can. 
     
    Tom’s warm, naked body. Mindy’s slinky sundress. Loud, sexy music blaring. What could be more fun than that? Alas, her timing is off. This is tax season, and accountant Tom is up to his ears in tax returns. He’ll have to take a raincheck—leaving his hot, horny wife more than a little frustrated. 
    Ironically, Tom’s timing is off as well. Not a minute after he says no to her advances, Miles Copeland arrives at their door. He has come to see if Mindy really is sick. 
     
    Well, she sure doesn’t look it! That slinky sundress. That loud, sexy music. Mindy’s hips swaying to the beat just as she opens the door. Miles is furious. Sick, eh? Well, he’ll see about that! He orders her into the bedroom, where he orders her to get everything off. Then, he proceeds to give her a very thorough, very intimate, and, as far as Tom is concerned, a very arousing medical exam right on their bed! 
     
    Wait a minute…arousing? Tom is aroused seeing another man with his hands all over his naked wife? What’s going on here? He’s angry, for God’s sake. He’s out of his mind with jealousy. And he is more than intimidated by this handsome billionaire’s manly charms—charms that Mindy is more than intrigued by. How could he possibly be aroused by this?

    A multitude of secret paths and trails exist in the world of Waldyra. Some of them lead to places that can only be described as "non-canonical." Those are always extremely well-concealed and almost impossible to find. Should anyone succeed in setting their foot on such a path, they'd be warned about doing it at their own peril. 
     
     
     
    Orbit has found one of these secret ways. It is another trail that bypasses the grim black gates and leads directly to the divine inferno known as Tantariall. The brave heroes of the Brotherhood will see much on their journey, and some of those things will be outrageously insane. Even Orbit will have to admit that such sights had only been seen by the so-called "primers" previously—the legendary first testers of Waldyra. 
     
     
     
    Obsessed with his goal, Orbit leads the heroes to an area called Purgamentum. They find themselves forced to take on the roles of the long-gone primers, and the dark underbelly of the bright world of Waldyra readily swallows up the Brotherhood of the Trail.
