Last term, Alisha and her friends, the Late Crew, met extraterrestrials. Now, a new out-of-this-world creature is following Alisha.

Keep moving. Stay in the light. Don’t look back. The planet Nivalis turns so slowly that only a narrow band of land is ever warmed by its sun. This moving zone —called the Bright Spot—is the last refuge for life. Everything outside it has frozen into desolation. Centuries ago, civilization thrived in both light and shadow —until the darkness turned deadly. No one knows why. Few dare to ask. Caelius marches with The Brightest, a caravan devoted to following the light’s path around the world. Faithful. Fearful. Unyielding.

“We’ve found something.” There may be no more terrifying words in the English language, especially when they are uttered by one’s doctor. That something for Rob Raban was cancer, specifically, non-Hodgkin's Peripheral T-cell Lymphoma, Stage 4. As a young husband and the father of three elementary school-aged boys, Rob was terrified of leaving them fatherless. Upon hearing the diagnosis, Rob asked his oncologist what the prognosis was and what to tell his sons.

The author of Bad Land realizes a lifelong dream as he navigates the waters of the Mississippi River in a spartan sixteen-foot motorboat, producing yet another masterpiece of contemporary American travel writing.  

Put Jonathan Raban on a boat and the results will be fascinating, and never more so than when he’s sailing around the serpentine, two-thousand-mile coast of his native England. In this acutely perceived and beautifully written book, the bestselling author of Bad Land turns that voyage—which coincided with the Falklands war of 1982—into an occasion for meditations on his country, his childhood, and the elusive notion of home. 

Seduced by the government’s offer of 320 acres per homesteader, Americans and Europeans rushed to Montana and the Dakotas to fulfill their own American dream in the first decade of the twentieth century. Raban’s stunning evocation of the harrowing, desperate reality behind the homesteader’s dream strips away the myth—while preserving the romance—that has shrouded our understanding of our own heartland.

Mit diesem Hörbuch dokumentiert die Autorin Hermine Stampa-Rabe ihre schwere Fahrradexpedition von Missoula/ Montana, USA, durch Kanada auf dem Alaska Highway nach Anchorage in Alaska. Aus dem Bericht ihres Radsportvereins "Adventure cycling", ersah sie, dass sie streckenweise auf sehr grobem Straßenasphalt radeln muss. Um einem Plattfuß von vornherein aus dem Weg zu gehen, wählte sie deshalb ihr altes Mountainbike, das aber neun Pfund schwer war... Gegen die gefährlichen Grizzly Bären, Pumas und Elche schützte sie sich mit einem Bärenglöckchen am Fußgelenk und Bären-Spray. Über nicht abreißende Berge und an brennenden Wäldern ging es immer weiter gen Norden.

Die Autorin, 75 Jahre jung und 1,54 kurz, startet mit Fahrrad und Campingausrüstung in Perth mit dem Plan, auf ihrer in Deutschland nach dem Straßenatlas von Australien ausgearbeiteten Strecke den roten Kontinent zu umrunden.

"Min mor var ked af, at min søster og jeg kaldte hende Fruen, men det var i mellemtiden blevet fælles for os. Fruen var en stærk kvinde, som krævede - og fik - særbehandling. Modig og intelligent, fordringsfuld, lunefuld og let at såre, og som en skandinavisk Kleopatra tiltrak hun mænd med fatale følger. Fruen kunne udmærket afkode undertonerne i sit kaldenavn og brød sig ikke om det, men det passede godt til hende og satte ord på noget, vi ikke kunne tale om." "Fruen" er Malene Lei Rabens personlige fortælling om sin mor og om at være barn af ungdomsoprøret.
