Robert Harris' "Pompeji" war ein internationaler Triumph. Der Autor versteht es wie kein Zweiter, als Gegenwart zu beschreiben, was zweitausend Jahre zurückliegt. Auch "Imperium" spielt in der Antike und bietet erneut eine spannende Mischung aus historischen Fakten und Fiktion. Im Mittelpunkt steht ein gerissener, mit allen Wassern gewaschener Anwalt und geborener Machtpolitiker: Marcus Tullius Cicero.

Fell times have come to the galaxy. Cadia has fallen, destroyed by the onslaught of Chaos. A Great Rift in the warp has opened, and from its depths spew daemons and the horrors of Old Night. But all hope is not lost… A hero, long absent, has returned, and with him comes the wrath of the Ultramarines reborn. Roboute Guilliman has arisen to lead the Imperium out of darkness on a crusade the likes of which has not been seen since the fabled days of the Emperor. But never before have the forces of Ruin amassed in such numbers, and nowhere is safe from despoliation.

Marcus Tullius Cicéron n'est alors qu'un jeune avocat, sans fortune ni famille affluente, amis avec des rêves de grandeur. Il ne vise pas moins que l'Imperium, la plus haute fonction de l'état. Mais, doté uniquement de ses talents d'orateur, comment avancer dans le monde ?

Horus is dead. Terra lies in ruins. Amid the rubble of the Palace, shell-shocked survivors emerge into the light of an uncertain dawn. New powers are present now, ones that have travelled the length of the galaxy to bring salvation to the Imperium, though they are as readily cast as usurpers as redeemers. The survivors of the Traitors’ Grand Armada, now scattered and desperate to escape vengeance, are riven with doubt and dissension, and their gods too are silent. Amid all the grief and confusion, some hopeful souls believe the war to be over and an era of renewal just ahead.

In the void and upon the worlds of Greater Ultramar, the battle for the Imperium continues. Intent on rebuilding his home realm and using it as a base to reconstruct the ravaged stellar empire of mankind, the returned primarch, Roboute Guilliman, proceeds with his war to drive Mortarion and his Death Guard Traitor Legion from the domain of the Ultramarines.

Nach Ansicht vieler hat die USA den stärksten destabilisierenden Einfluss auf das Weltgeschehen und stellen somit die größte Bedrohung für den Weltfrieden dar (Allensbach 2019, Gallup International 2019). Diese traurige Spitzenstellung hat sich die Weltmacht Nr. 1 nicht von ungefähr erworben. Keine andere Nation hat seit 1945 so viele andere Länder bombardiert, so viele Regierungen gestürzt wie die USA. Die USA unterhalten die meisten Militärstützpunkte, exportieren die meisten Waffen und haben den höchsten Rüstungsetat der Welt.

An ancient alien artifact is the apparent target of the attack, an artifact older than known galactic civilization.

Vincent Corinthos has two things going for him: he's a top operative of a secret agency tasked with handling paranormal threats, and he's half-god. Normally that's a combo that leaves him well-equipped to handle any problems that come his way. Until now. Something is snatching Boston's most powerful paranormal entities right off the streets. Vampires, lycanthropes, fae, gremlins - no one is safe. No ransom notes, no bodies, no witnesses.

In 1902, a radical vegetarian and nudist from Nuremberg named August Engelhardt set sail for what was then called the Bismarck Archipelago. His destination: the island Kabakon. His goal: to found a colony based on worship of the sun and coconuts. His malnourished body was found on the beach on Kabakon in 1919; he was 43 years old. Christian Kracht's Imperium uses the outlandish details of Engelhardt's life to craft a fable about the allure of extremism and its fundamental foolishness.
