Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - Sable remembers voices.Taken from the forests of West Africa and carried across the Atlantic, the African grey parrot enters a human world of cages, markets, ships, and households where names are too easily lost. What begins as mimicry becomes something more enduring: a living record of the people who speak within her hearing-and of those whom history may otherwise forget.Across decades of captivity, Sable encounters cruelty and tenderness, ownership and trust, separation and unexpected refuge. Every hand that reaches toward her teaches her something about humanity. Every name she keeps becomes evidence.But Sable is more than a witness. Without understanding the vast machinery surrounding her, she is moving toward a choice whose consequences reach far beyond one bird, one household, or one century.The Bird Who Kept the Names is Book Three of the Fate versus Faith series, a historical speculative saga about memory, dignity, moral responsibility, and the Deciders whose lives will help determine whether humanity deserves to continue.…

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - Amara knows that a name can carry a life-and that power often begins by replacing it with a number.In 1781, she is torn from her home near the West African coast and forced toward an Atlantic crossing designed to reduce human beings to cargo. Surrounded by people struggling to preserve their identities, choices, and one another, Amara refuses to let an official record determine who deserves to be remembered.Elsewhere aboard the voyage, Elias Vale, a young clerk who trusts written evidence, begins to discover how easily an accurate ledger can conceal the truth. An African grey parrot named Sable carries fragments of familiar voices across boundaries no human witness can cross.As memory, testimony, and survival become inseparable, each must decide what should be recorded, what must remain protected, and whether a person can confront an unjust system without becoming part of it.What the Atlantic Could Not Erase is the first novel in the Fate versus Faith series-an interconnected work of historical speculative fiction about identity, moral responsibility, and the choices that may ultimately determine humanity's future.…

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - Kwame Mensah is born in colonial Kumasi on a date that will later become Ghana's Independence Day. As the country grows into self-government, he grows toward medicine, carrying a family lesson that no cure belongs to one pair of hands.Training in Accra teaches him how easily institutions confuse authority with accuracy. A delayed qualification, a rural referral road, marriage, fatherhood, and public service force him to confront the hidden labor behind every official success-and his own habit of claiming more certainty than the evidence permits.Years later, medical assignments take him from besieged Sarajevo to the overwhelmed shores of Lesvos. There, a question mistranslated during wartime returns through an encounter he never expected, and an aging physician must decide whether helping someone gives him any right to possess their story.Humanity's fate may depend not on whether its systems are innocent, but on whether people inside them can remain answerable for what they do, what they record, and what they leave unpaid.The Breath We Owe is Book Seven of the Fate versus Faith series, an interconnected literary historical novel with speculative elements, exploring medicine, independence, consent, memory, institutional responsibility, and the ordinary labor that keeps human beings alive.…

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - Ana Petrovic learns early that the same words can carry different meanings-and that a correction may arrive too late to repair what certainty has already changed.Growing up in Sarajevo, Ana records how rumors move, how categories harden, and how ordinary neighbors are asked to see one another differently. When war reaches her city, a blue scarf once used in a childhood game becomes entangled with a wound, a missing friend, and a question no interpreter can answer for her.Years later, Ana has built a life around carrying meaning carefully between people and institutions. On Lesvos in 2015, amid exhausted workers, displaced families, and records that cannot hold every truth, she encounters a name from her past and a family whose future may turn on whether a correction survives the next handoff.Every translation changes what becomes possible. Every record decides what it can omit. Somewhere beyond ordinary time, Ana must determine whether humanity's repeated failures are evidence of a fate it cannot escape-or a faith it has refused to practice.The Interpreter's Blue Thread is Book Six of the Fate versus Faith series, an interconnected work of literary historical fiction with speculative elements, exploring language, consent, memory, moral responsibility, and the lives entrusted with humanity's future.…

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - Nanuq is born into a world measured by scent, pressure, hunger, and the routes his mother teaches him across the ice. He has no human word for climate or judgment. He knows only what the changing coast allows him to find-and what machines, noise, and open water take away.As the years narrow his choices, distant human systems begin treating the Arctic as evidence. Researchers record tracks, vibrations, and absences while communities insist that knowledge without authority is another form of taking. Nanuq remains outside their explanations, living by senses and limits they can observe but never fully possess.When a fallen worker lies within reach, one unrepeatable encounter enters humanity's record. What happened can be seen. Why it happened cannot. Yet the unresolved moment may determine whether human beings deserve a future at all.White Without End is Book Nine of the Fate versus Faith series, an interconnected speculative novel about a polar bear's life, climate pressure, aging, evidence, respect, and the dangerous human desire to turn another being into proof.…

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - Anthony has always wanted what he never had: a lasting home, a faithful partner, and the chance to become the devoted father his own father was not. When Hazel announces her pregnancy, he embraces that future without hesitation.But troubling conversations, conflicting dates, and unanswered questions gradually unsettle everything Anthony believes about his family. As love gives way to suspicion and access to the child becomes increasingly uncertain, he must decide what fatherhood means when biology, loyalty, and legal identity no longer point in the same direction.Set in Louisiana and spanning more than a decade, H.A.K.ed: The Name Between Us is an intimate psychological family drama about disputed paternity, fractured trust, and one man's struggle to separate what he can prove from what he may never know. …

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - Leila al-Khatib grows up in Aleppo learning that water reaches a household only through systems-and through people willing to admit what those systems cannot prove. A failed washer, a disputed record, and her parents' stubborn insistence on correction shape the engineer she will become.War forces Leila, her husband Yusuf, and their young daughter Mariam across borders where names, needs, and authority rarely travel together. On the shores of Lesvos, one mistranslated question reveals how easily help can become control-and how much discipline it takes to preserve another person's right to answer for themselves.Decades later, Leila is invited into an Inuit-governed Arctic research project built around limits: who may enter, what may be measured, when a system must stop, and who retains the power to decide. When a worker falls and a polar bear approaches, the incomplete record that remains will test everything Leila believes about evidence, responsibility, and restraint.Humanity's fate may depend not on perfect knowledge, but on whether people can act faithfully while respecting what they do not own, cannot know, and must never turn into proof.The Shore Between is Book Eight of the Fate versus Faith series, an interconnected literary and speculative novel about displacement, engineering, consent, family memory, climate responsibility, and the boundaries between observation and judgment.…
