Die Kriegerin der Himmelsscheibe

Himmelsscheibe #2

by Wolfgang Hohlbein, Dieter Winkler

Die Heilerin Arri nennt einen wertvollen Schatz ihr Eigen – die Himmelsscheibe, ein kunstvoll gefertigtes Instrument ungeklärter Herkunft, mit dessen Hilfe alle astronomischen Gegebenheiten vorhersehbar sind. Doch die Kräfte der Himmelsscheibe rufen Neider und Machtgierige auf den Plan, und das kostbare Kunstwerk wird gestohlen. Dabei ist Arri die Einzige, die das bronzezeitliche Land gegen den Einfluss dunkler Mächte und eine drohende Naturkatastrophe schützen könnte, aber dazu muss sie die Himmelsscheibe wiederbekommen. Und ein skrupelloser Hohepriester setzt alles daran, dies zu verhindern...

About the author

Wolfgang Hohlbein is a German author of science fiction, fantasy and horror fiction who lives near Neuss, North Rhine-Westphalia. His wife, Heike, is also a writer and often works with her husband. She often comes up with the story ideas and therefore is generally credited as co-author. Their daughter, Rebecca, is also a writer.

Writing short stories since age 15, Hohlbein was first recognized as an author after sending in a manuscript he and his wife had written at a fantasy and science fiction writing contest in 1982. They won and their book, Märchenmond (English title: "Magic Moon"), was published by Ueberreuter Publishing, soon becoming a bestseller and winning several awards. It is one of their greatest successes till today.

Many of his more than 200 books are translated and published in many European countries as well as in South Korea. Yet for many years none of his works had been translated into English. In 2006, Magic Moon was translated into English and published in the United States.

Reviews

[Fanny · Rating 1 out of 5]

Nur bis zu 50 Seiten geschafft, die Geschichte wird rückwärts erzählt was mich enorm genervt hat. Die Namen der ganzen Personen und deren verzweigte verwandschaften haben mich total verwirrt, allerdings habe ich gerade gesehen daß dies der zweite Band ist, und den ersten habe ich nicht gelesen.
