England, 1468. Den unge presten Christopher Fairfax er sendt til den avsidesliggende landsbyen Addicott St George for å holde begravelsen til landsbypresten, far Lacy. Området er fullt av gjenstander fra fortiden: mynter, glassfragmenter, menneskebein, som far Lacy har samlet. Kan hans besettelse av fortiden ha ledet til hans død? Fairfax er fast bestemt på å finne ut sannheten. I løpet av de neste seks dagene vil alt han tenkte, om seg selv og om verden omkring seg, bli satt på prøve. Den andre søvnen utforsker, uten å forkynne, den moderne sivilisasjonens fart mot sin egen undergang. Med sin fengslende fortellerevne og sine inngående karakterbeskrivelser skaper Harris med dystopisk skarphet en svært konseptuell, post-apokalyptisk thriller som maner til ettertanke.

En kold novembermorgen år 79 f. Kr. banker en mand på den romerske senator Ciceros dør. Han er kommet til Rom for at bede den dygtige jurist om hjælp mod Siciliens guvenør, Verres, som nådesløst udplyndrer befolkningen. Da Cicero hører hans historie, ser han en mulighed for at bruge en retssag mod den korrupte guvenør til at markere sig selv i offentligheden og dermed tage det første skridt på vejen mod sin store ambition: at opnå imperium - statsmagten. Men Cæsar, Pompejus og Crassus drømmer også om at komme til at regere verdens eneste supermagt, og snart opdager Cicero, at han er blevet midtpunkt i en magtkamp, hvor der bruges midler, han aldrig havde forestillet sig. For hans tre konkurrenter er ikke bang for at benytte sig af den fundamentale regel i politik til alle tider: Alle kneb gælder. idden /title /head body center h1 403 Forbidden /h1 /center /body /html Robert Harris (f.1957) debuterede med romanen Fædrelandet i 1992 og har siden skrevet en række romaner, bl.a.

______________________________'One of the great triumphs of contemporary historical literature.' The Times______________________________WITH A NEW INTRODUCTION BY THE AUTHOR'Laws are silent in times of war.' CiceroOne of the great epics of political and historical fiction, The Cicero Trilogy charts the career of the Roman statesman Marcus Tullius Cicero from his mid-twenties as an ambitious young lawyer to his dramatic death more than thirty years later, pursued by an assassination squad on a cliff-top path. The extraordinary life that unfolds between these two episodes is recounted by Cicero's private secretary, Tiro: the law cases and the speeches that made his master's name; the elections and conspiracies he fought; the rivals who contended for power around him - Pompey, Crassus, Cato, Clodius, Catalina, and, most menacingly, Caesar; and, at the heart of it all, the complex personality of Cicero himself - brilliant, cunning, duplicitous, anxious, brave, and always intensely humane. More than ten years in the writing, and now published in a single volume for the first time, The Cicero Trilogy brings the world of the Roman republic vividly to life. Here is its grandeur, ambition and corruption; and here is its tumultuous collapse into dictatorship and anarchy - a story of the fragility of democratic institutions that holds a warning for our own time.

"...an incredibly propulsive narrative..." - Naomi Gibbs, Houghton Mifflin Harcourt"...expertly crafted..." - Liz Farrell, ICM Partners"...perfect pace..." - Sydney Rogers, SourcebooksThe M bius Incident is a fast-paced thriller in which Adam Welch, an American working in Munich, finds himself drawn into a baffling mystery involving the theft of three paintings and a subsequent murder. Although Welch long ago abandoned the world of intrigue, his curiosity gets the best of him and he instinctively tries to solve the riddle. His skills are rusty but serviceable. And he's still haunted by the events that led to his career change eight years earlier. Nevertheless he begins to put the pieces together. But each answer leads to another question, adding more brushstrokes to a composition that becomes increasingly impressionistic as events unfold.***Robert Harris is a writer, inventor, and puzzle constructor with a background in Art and Cognitive Psychology. He is the author of more than 40 books, including 101 Things NOT to Do Before You Die, The Jesus Perspective, When Good People Write Bad Sentences, How Big is the Sky?, and the Claude Monet, Private Eye mysteries, all of which are available at amazon.com.

In The Jesus Perspective, Robert Harris critically examines Christianity with the goal of determining which of its elements are useful, essential, and in alignment with what Jesus actually taught and believed. The result is a fresh and vigorous interpretation of the faith. At its core is the idea that the elements of the Christian faith are best seen not as events that we merely acknowledge, but as processes in which we actively participate. Thus the focus shifts to action, responsibility, and continual growth. This is the challenging path that Jesus said "leads to life." In the book, Harris summarizes extensive research into the Bible, incarnation, atonement, trinity, and resurrection. Readers might be surprised, as the author was, to find out that the faith of Jesus is often quite different from the faith about Jesus. The Jesus Perspective is not just for Christians, but for anyone who wants to discover authentic Christianity, devoid of pointless theological complications, and think more critically and intelligently about matters of faith.***Robert Harris is the author of more than 40 books in a variety of genres, including inspiration, humor, and self-improvement.
