Produktinformationen zu „Timeless “
Alexia Tarabotti, Lady Maccon, heads off to Egypt with her husband, her supernaturally precocious daughter Prudence, and her actress friend Ivy Tunstell, in order to answer the summons of the vampire Queen of the Alexandria Hive. New York Times bestselling author Gail Carriger writes to cope with being raised in obscurity by an expatriate Brit and an incurable curmudgeon. She escaped small town life and inadvertently acquired several degrees in Higher Learning. Ms. Carriger then traveled the historic cities of Europe, subsisting entirely on biscuits secreted in her handbag. She resides in the Colonies, surrounded by fantastic shoes, where she insists on tea imported from London.The Parasol Protectorate books are: Soulless, Changeless, Blameless, Heartless, and Timeless (March 2012). Soulless won the ALA's Alex Award A manga version with release in Spring 2012. She is currently writing young adult books set in the same universe - the Finishing School series (Feb. 2013). Soon she will begin a new adult series, The Parasol Protectorate Abroad (Fall 2013).
Klappentext zu „Timeless “
Alexia Tarabotti, Lady Maccon, has settled into domestic bliss. Of course, being Alexia, such bliss involves integrating werewolves into London High society, living in a vampire's second best closet, and coping with a precocious toddler who is prone to turning supernatural willy-nilly. Even Ivy Tunstell's acting troupe's latest play, disastrous to say the least, cannot put a damper on Alexia's enjoyment of her new London lifestyle.Until, that is, she receives a summons from Alexandria that cannot be ignored. With husband, child, and Tunstells in tow, Alexia boards a steamer to cross the Mediterranean. But Egypt may hold more mysteries than even the indomitable Lady Maccon can handle. What does the vampire Queen of the Alexandria Hive really want from her? Why is the God-Breaker Plague suddenly expanding? And how has Ivy Tunstell suddenly become the most popular actress in all the British Empire?
Autoren-Porträt von Gail Carriger
Die New York Times Bestsellerautorin Gail Carriger wurde nach eigener Aussage von einer Exil-Britin und einem unheilbaren Griesgram aufgezogen. Um dieser Situation zu entfliehen, begann sie bereits in jungen Jahren mit dem Schreiben. Doch schließlich entkam sie dem Kleinstadtleben. Beinahe aus Versehen erlangte sie mehrere Hochschulabschlüsse. Anschließend bereiste sie Europa, wobei sie sich ausschließlich von Keksen ernährte. Heute lebt sie in den USA, umgeben von unzähligen großartigen Schuhen, und lässt sich ihren Tee direkt aus London schicken. Außerdem ist sie versessen auf winzigkleine Hüte und exotische Früchte.
