Series by Peter Brendt, Diane Brendt or both
von Hassel
Maritime, WWII
| Die von Hassel Romane spielen während des Zweiten Weltkriegs in der Welt der deutschen U-Bootwaffe und parallel dazu bei den alliierten Geleitfahrzeugen. Der Kampf dieser beiden Feinde steht vor dem Hintergrund des größeren Kriegsgeschehens, aber am Ende sind es immer wieder die Menschen, der, den Mechanismen eines gnadenlosen Krieges unterworfen, die Erzählungen in den einzelnen Bänden ausmachen. | The von Hassel novels play during WWII in the world of the German U-Bootwaffe and parallel at the allied escorts. The fight between those two enemies takes place in front of the greater war theatre, but in the end, it's always the human beings, who, subject to the mechanisms of a merciless war, write the stories in each and every of the books. |
| DiAngelo
Maritime, Contemporary
Diese U-Bootromane spielen in der US Navy auf den Atom-getriebenen Booten und immer wieder in der dunklen Welt der internationalen Spionage, die ihrerseits die Einsätze dieser U-Boote beeinflusst.
Robert DiAngelo, der Held dieser Serie, muss sich immer wieder veränderten Techniken und den rasend schnellen politischen Entwicklungen unserer Welt stellen, einer Welt, in der die alten Machtblöcke nicht mehr existieren und neue Bedrohungen jeden Tag und aus jeder Richtung auftauchen können. | These submarine novels play out in the US Navy on board of nuclear submarines and as often also in the dark world of international espionage, which vice versa influences the missions of those subs.
Robert DiAngelo, ther hero in this series, has to face the always changing technologies as well as the racing political changes in our world. A world in which the old military blocks don't exist anymore and thus, every day another threat can raise virtually from everywhere. |
| Stefanie von Rauenberg
Thriller, Crime
| Fadenkreuz war mein erster Serienmörder und, als Ebook, mein erstes veröffentlichtes Buch überhaupt. Ich gebe zu, ich würde huete eine Menge Dinge anders schreiben, aber trotzdem sind die beiden Bände immer noch interessant zu lesen und ich spiele mit dem Gedanken, sie für Kindle/Ebook-readers wieder verfügbar zu machen. | Crosshars (Fadenkreuz in German) was my first serial killer and, as ebook, my fist published book at all. I admit, I would write a lot of it different today, but still, the two novels are interesting to read abd I ponder about making them available again for Kindle/ebook-readers. |
| World's Edge
Fantasy
Rodkon der Krieger aus der eisigen Eiswüste hat ein Problem. Zuerst ärgert er ein paar Götter, und als er versucht, aus der Falle wieder herauszukommen, tritt er dabei auf noch mehr göttliche Füße. Nur zeigt es sich, dass es selbst für die Götter manchmal nicht so ganz einfach ist, einem wirklich sturem Himmelhund Einhalt zu gebieten, vor allem dann nicht, wenn er von ein paar wirklich verrückten Typen begleitet wird.
Auch diese Bücher sind eigentlich keine Serie sondern lediglich ein Double. Rodkon von Perk war einer meiner ersten Ausflüge in die Fantasy (als Autor, nicht als Leser) und ich mag die Bücher immer noch. | Rodkon, the warrior from the icy wastelands, has a problem. First he had pissed of some Gods, then, in the attempt to come out of that trap, he stepped in the process on even more divine feet. Only, then, it shows, that even for the Gods, it isn't that easy, to stop a really stubborn bastard. Especially not, if said bastard is accompanied by some really crazy characters.
Also these books are basically no series but a double. Rodkon of Perk was one of my first excursions into fantasy (as author, not as reader) and I still enjpoy those books. |
| The Gailskeepers
Fantasy
Als vor mehr als zweitausend Jahren die mächtigsten Magier ihrer Welt beschlossen, einen groén Teil der Magie ihrer Welt in zwölf Gefäße zu binden und diese soweit wie möglich wegzubringen, um zu verhindern, dass das Übermaß ihre eigene Welt zerstörte, hatten sie eines nicht bedacht: Dass diese magischen Gefäße anfangen würden, zu wandern, durch Zeiten und Welten, immer mit dem Ziel, zurückzukehren an den Ort von dem sie stammen.
Die Gralsbewahrer begannen als ein Buch und irgendwie, ähnlich wie Kaninchen, vermehrten sich die Dinger. Was dabei herauskam ist ein epischer Streifzug gleich durch mehrere Welten, quasi ein Multiversum in sich selbst.
| When more than twothousand years ago, the mighitest magicians of their world decided, to bind a great part of the magic of said world in twelve vessels and send them as far away as possible, to prevent the abundance of magic power from destroying their world, they missed one little details. Those magic vessels started to wander, through times and worlds, always attempting to return to the place, they came from.
The Graislkeepers started out as one book and somehow, like rabbits, they grew more and more. The result is an epic trip thorugh several worlds, quasi a multiverse in it's own rights. |
| Stand alone
Several
| Die Stand Alones sind keine Serie sondern ganz einfach die Sammlung einzelner Bücher, die keiner Serie angehören. Ich weiss, heutzutage will jeder Verlag gleich Serien sehen, weil das die Produktions- und Marketingkosten senkt, aber nichtsdestotrotz, manchmal gibt es eben nur ein Buch mit einer Geschichte, die zu interessant ist um sie aus Marketinggründen zu ignorieren. | The Stand Alones are in fact no series, but the single novels which don't belong to a series. I am well aware, publishers always want series because that decreases production and marketing costs, but nevertheless, sometimes, there is just one book with a story to tell, that is too interesting to be ignored for marketing puurposes. |

Abbott killed only one victim, a case that caused some public attention in 1955. But he showed all hallmarks of a fledgling serial killer and thus, we added him to our collection.

Affaire of the Poisons
We have added the infamous Affaire of the Poisons to our collection. With more than 80 offenders, it breaks a little the format, but well, it's one of the biggest cases of "organized" crime ever, so how can we let it out?

Michael Lee Lockhart
... and with a little delay, another serial made it into the serial killer collection. Michael Lee Lockhart, not so much interesting for his "achievements" but because his case appears as if he became a psychopath only after a serious head injury.

| Mon, Jan 6, 2014

The Syracuse Dungeon Master
John T. Jamelske aka the Syracuse Dungeon Master has been added to our Serial Killer Collection. While not a seria killer but a serial rapist, Jamelske represents a similar psychopathology as some OCD type serial killers, for example Dahmer and therefore is some valuable object for studies.

Richard N. Clarey jr.
Clarey is one of the lesser known serial killers, skirting the definition a little. Still, for some reasons an interesting case.
| Wed, Oct 2, 2013
12:00 AM CT
Now in the collection: William E. Cosden
A garden variety sexual predator, notable only because his existence shows, how wrong the idea of 1 monster at 1 time in 1 area is.
