Dabei glaubt keiner der Überlebenden daran, dass er sein Versprechen erfüllen kann, denn neben Ungarn und Nordmännern machen Horden von Untoten das vom Hunger gezeichnete Land unsicher. Dem untergehenden Frankenland bleibt nur eine Chance: Die verbliebenen Kräfte an einem Ort zu bündeln und sich den Feinden in einer letzten großen Schlacht zu stellen. Nichts für schwache Nerven!

  First complete English translation of Jules Verne's classic novel of flight 
  At the Weldon Institute in Philadelphia, a mob of zealous balloon enthusiasts plans to conquer the sky in a state-of-the-art dirigible. When a stranger, the mysterious Robur, declares that the future belongs not to balloons but to heavier-than-air flying machines, the Institute scornfully dismisses the idea. But Robur demands vengeance—and has a unique flying machine that will allow him to take it. 
  By turns an impassioned argument for aviation, a wild proto-steampunk adventure, and a jubilant celebration of the dream of flight, Robur the Conqueror ranks among Jules Verne's most iconic and influential works. Its technological speculations, including the unforgettable aircraft Albatross, are a vibrant snapshot of nineteenth-century scientific innovation. 
  This, the first complete English translation of Verne's 1886 novel, includes an insightful introduction, explanatory chapter notes, and an up-to-date Verne biography and primary and secondary bibliography. It is an essential new edition of a seminal science fiction classic.

But not before he knocked her up and broke her heart. 
  Now Miriam is a single mother, all alone in a new world with a new vampire body. And someone’s trying to kill her. Who? Why? She has no real enemies. 
  If only Michael would help. After all, he’s the vampire king now. And this is one mystery she can’t solve on her own.

  Problem is, his enemies know the librarian and his daughter are special to him. They are his to protect, even if he’s incapable of feeling love.  
  But when danger comes knocking at Miriam’s library door, he must choose between solving the biggest mystery of his existence and the woman he swore to protect. 
  What’s a vampire king to do?
