Zwischenspiel.

541 (3) Seiten. Innenillustrationen von Robin Jarvis. 21,5 cm. Umschlaggestaltung: Christian Keller. Sehr guter Zustand. Frisches Exemplar. Wie ungelesen. An die, die noch immer um jeden Preis Widerstand leisten (ich weiß, ein kleiner, verstreuter Haufen existiert noch), entweder weil ihr einen eisernen Willen habt oder einfach das Glück, so wie ich immun gegen diesen Wahnsinn zu sein: Ich rate euch dringend, das Land zu verlassen! Verschwindet von da. Ihr könnt nichts mehr ausrichten.Vor einigen Monaten tauchte ein merkwürdiges altes Buch in einer britischen Kleinstadt auf und zog all jene, die es lasen, in seinen Bann. Inzwischen wurde das Buch in großem Stil veröffentlicht und ganz Großbritannien ist ihm verfallen. Diejenigen, die sich seinem Einfluss widersetzten, wurden getötet. Doch es gibt einige, auf die das Buch keine Wirkung hat. Sie werden Abtrünnlinge genannt, werden verfolgt und gejagt, auch von ihren eigenen Familien und Freunden. Dies ist ihre Geschichte.„Dancing Jax – Zwischenspiel" ist der zweite Band einer Trilogie. Der Titel des ersten Bandes lautet „Dancing Jax – Auftakt“. Stephen-King-like kombiniert Robin Jarvis intelligente Schockelemente mit Fantasy und schafft so eine vor Spannung überbordende Trilogie. Die Saat des Bösen geht auf und es scheint kein Entrinnen für die gleichgeschaltete Menschheit zu geben … . - From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia: Robin Jarvis (born 8 May 1963) is a British Young-Adult fiction (YA) and children's novelist, who writes dark fantasy, suspense and supernatural thrillers. His books for young adults have featured the inhabitants of a coastal town battling a monumental malevolence with the help of its last supernatural guardian (The Witching Legacy), a diminutive race of Werglers (shape shifters) pitched against the evil might of the faerie hordes (The Hagwood Trilogy), a sinister "world-switching" dystopian future, triggered by a sinister and hypnotic book (Dancing Jax), Norse Fates, Glastonbury crow-demons and a time travelling, wise-cracking teddy bear. (The Wyrd Museum series), dark powers, a forgotten race and ancient evils on the North Yorkshire coast (The Whitby Witches trilogy), epic medieval adventure (The Oaken Throne) and science-fiction dramatising the "nefarious intrigue" within an alternate Tudor realm, peopled by personalities of the time, automata servants and animals known as Mechanicals and ruled by Queen Elizabeth I. (Deathscent). Jarvis' books for younger readers have featured anthropomorphic rodents and small mammals – especially mice - as featured in the Deptford Mice series. A number of his works are based in London, in and around Deptford and Greenwich where he used to live, Felixstowe, or in Whitby, the setting for The Whitby Witches trilogy and his latest series: The Witching Legacy. His first novel – The Dark Portal, featuring the popular Deptford Mice – was the runner up for the Smarties book prize in 1989. His work has been described as "genre Busting" and "original, spooky, unusual, psychological supernatural horror fantasy with a very modern twist". Jarvis has said that he is not a writer of horror fiction, however his work has also been compared to that of "…Stephen King, but for Young Adults." The Deptford Mice was adapted and dramatised by Tiny Dog Productions, and staged in January 2010 and April 2011. Biography: Jarvis was born in Liverpool, the youngest of four children, and grew up in Warrington, attending Penketh High School. His favourite subjects at school were Art and English and he went on to study Graphic Design at Newcastle Polytechnic (now Northumbria University). After college, he moved to London and worked in the television and advertising industries as a model-maker. He lives in Greenwich in southeast London. ... Dancing Jax: Dancing Jax (February 2011) Freax and Rejex (February 2012) Fighting Pax (July 2014). The Dancing Jax trilogy is a dark fantasy series for Young Adults, published in the United Kingdom by HarperCollins. Jarvis has said the series was inspired by a dream. "...it gave me everything I needed, the title of the book, the characters and their names and other key 'ingredients'". The series relates the hypnotic and destructive power held over its readers by a devilish book, originally written in the 1930s by an evil magician. The book acts as a gateway to Mooncaster, "a fairytale world, full of Jacks, Queens and Kings, unicorns and wolves", but further described as "No fairytale", and by the author himself as "Not for the faint-hearted". The book explores themes of Many-worlds interpretation, Popular culture, Dystopia and Fear conditioning. . . . .
