Gefährliche Offenbarungen

by David Weber

Vor Jahrhunderten flohen die Menschen vor einer übermächtigen Alienarmee auf den Planeten Safehold. Dort herrscht eine Kirchendiktatur, die jede moderne Technik verbietet. Doch das Inselkönigreich Charis kämpft für seine Unabhängigkeit und für technischen Fortschritt. Mit an vorderster Front: Merlin Athrawes. Und nun hat Merlin Wissen über einen geheimen Orden erlangt, der jahrhundertealte Aufzeichnungen hütet. Darin enthalten sind gefährliche Offenbarungen, welche die Kirche in ihren Grundfesten erschüttern könnte ...

About the author

David Mark Weber is an American science fiction and fantasy author. He was born in Cleveland, Ohio in 1952.

Many of his stories have military, particularly naval, themes, and fit into the military science fiction genre. He frequently places female leading characters in what have been traditionally male roles.

One of his most popular and enduring characters is Honor Harrington whose alliterated name is an homage to C.S. Forester's character Horatio Hornblower and her last name from a fleet doctor in Patrick O'Brian's Master and Commander . Her story, together with the "Honorverse" she inhabits, has been developed through 16 novels and six shared-universe anthologies, as of spring 2013 (other works are in production). In 2008, he donated his archive to the department of Rare Books and Special Collections at Northern Illinois University.

Many of his books are available online, either in their entirety as part of the Baen Free Library or, in the case of more recent books, in the form of sample chapters (typically the first 25-33% of the work).
