Ab in die dunkle Vergangenheit
Nach historischen Verstrickungen wird’s diesmal persönlich: Fundiert, flüssig und verschmitzt gibt Rebecca Gablés nächster Streich der Waringham-Saga tieferen Einblick in die spätmittelalterliche Familie am Hof Heinrich des Achtens. London 1529: Der vierzehnjährige Nick of Waringham erbt unverhofft ein heruntergewirtschaftetes Landgut, Titel inklusive. Und gerät damit unversehens in die Schusslinie des brutalen britischen Herrschers, dem die "ketzerischen" Reformationsbemühungen der Waringhams ein großer Dorn im Auge sind. Doch ist der gute Ruf erst ruiniert ... dann ist cleveres Querdenken gefragt: Der junge Pferdeflüsterer beschließt, die Familienehre mit der Zucht edler Schlachtrösser wiederaufzubauen. Wäre da nicht der rabiate König, der reihenweise Köpfe purzeln lässt. Er möchte gern seine Ehefrau loswerden, was ohne päpstlichen Segen gar nicht so einfach ist. Bald müssen Anhänger der verhassten katholischen Kirche um ihr Leben bangen, unter ihnen die eigene Tochter Mary. Um die Prinzessin zu beschützen, springt der unbedarfte Nick heldenhaft in die Bresche - und schmiedet einen brenzlichen Plan, um seine spitzzüngige Freundin zu beschützen.
Publisher's summary
England, 1529: Die Gesellschaft ist im Umbruch - und die Reformation in vollem Gange. Unruhen, Intrigen und Machtspiele des Adels sind an der Tagesordnung. In dieser schwierigen Phase des Spätmittelalters findet Nicholas' Kindheit ein plötzliches Ende: Der 14-Jährige übernimmt die heruntergewirtschaftete Grafschaft seines Vaters, Jasper of Waringham. Aufgrund seiner "ketzerischen" - sprich: reformatorischen - Ansichten ist dieser beim König in Ungnade gefallen. Nun soll Nicholas, genannt Nick, den guten Ruf seiner zerrütteten Familie wiederherstellen.
Nicks Ziel: Er will das Gestüt seines Vaters neu aufbauen und so Anerkennung durch den Königshof erlangen. Keine leichte Aufgabe für den jungen Halb-Waisen, dessen Alltag sich noch vor wenigen Wochen um das griechische Alphabet und humanistische Philosophie gedreht hat. Hinzu kommt, dass er seine Stiefmutter Yolanda abgrundtief verabscheut - was sein Vorhaben, die Familie zu einen und ihren guten Ruf wiederherzustellen, nicht einfacher macht.
Doch zum Glück hat Nick eine besondere Gabe: Er versteht die Sprache der prächtigen Schlachtrösser, deren Zucht der Familie Waringham einst großen Reichtum beschert hat, ohne Worte. Diese besondere Begabung könnte das Familiengestüt retten. Gerade als sich die Stimmung in der Familie entspannt, geschieht etwas Unvorhergesehenes: Thomas Cromwell, erbitterter Reformations-Gegner, verhaftet Nicks Vater Jasper.
Um die Ehre seiner Familie wiederherzustellen, bleibt Nick keine andere Wahl: Als Freund und Beschützer von Mary, Tochter von König Henry VIII, taucht er tief in die politischen Machenschaften des englischen Königshauses ein. Während er aufwächst, erlebt er die Fehde rund um die Reformation hautnah.
Nicholas - Teil eins ist Teil der "Waringham-Saga". Lebendig inszeniert und musikalisch untermalt erweckt die ungekürzte Hörspieladaption des Bestsellers "Der dunkle Thron" das spätmittelalterliche England zu neuem Leben. Gleichzeitig sorgen Rebecca Gablés liebevoll und detailreich gezeichnete Charaktere für ein Hör-Erlebnis mit Suchtfaktor.

This newer edition of the King James Bible published in 1769 is usually preferred by most that read it over the older 1611 version. This 1769 edition is highly sought after due to being more reader/listener friendly than the 1611 since many typos were fixed.... We hope your new audio bible will go everywhere with you and be a blessing for years to come.

Story
It’s the summer of ’77 in New York City, and the only thing more unnerving than the scorching heatwave is the rampant murder, leaving washed-up homicide detective Richard Dietrich on edge. When Dietrich investigates a brutal mob hit the brass doesn’t want him to solve, he goes from phoning it in to getting in over his head. Caught up in a mysterious second homicide with an even more perplexing perpetrator, Dietrich starts to second guess his instincts—and his memory—as he searches for answers at the bottom of a bottle.
