Kompromisslos und entschlossen diente Kommissarin Severina Raine dem Imperium stets mit äußerster Hingabe. Unter den Soldaten des antarischen 11. Schützenregiments hält sie selbst angesichts größter Schrecken Ordnung und Pflichtgefühl aufrecht. Aber das Grauen hat viele Gesichter und Raines unerschütterlicher Glaube steht vor einer schweren Prüfung. Als ein Chaoskult zwischen den Unheilssternen wütet, fällt ein Schatten auf die umnachteten Welten. Lord-General Militant Alar Serek zieht aus, um das System vor Tyrannei und Unterjochung zu bewahren, doch der Preis des Sieges wird mit Blut bezahlt. Als Raine und die Antari in den Konflikt verwickelt werden, kommen dunkle Geheimnisse ans Licht ... Geheimnisse, die ein Licht auf Raines eigene dunkle Vergangenheit werfen könnten. Nur indem sie ihrer Pflicht treu bleibt und zu ihren Überzeugungen steht, kann sie hoffen, diese Feuerprobe zu bestehen. Doch kann ihr dies angesichts dieses Feindes gelingen?

Wer hat schon eine »normale« Familie? Doch die von Vesper ist ... sehr speziell.

Ein Friedensangebot? Oder eine Falle? Soll sie zurückkehren in die toxische Umgebung, der sie entflohen ist? Noch einmal ihrer erbarmungslosen Mutter Constance entgegentreten?Vespers Heimkehr wird ein schreckliches Geheimnis enthüllen …

Nach dem Krieg um die Kardinalswelt Ophelia VII begibt sich Schwester Evangeline vom Orden der Heiligen Märtyrerin auf eine Reise in die Dunkelheit jenseits des Großen Risses. Sie ist auf der Suche nach Vergeltung und Offenbarung, doch die gefährliche Odyssee fordert ihren Glauben auf eine ganz eigene Art heraus.

In this stunning new collection of four horror stories, award-winning author Rachel Harrison explores themes of body image, female friendship, heartbreak and hauntings with her trademark humour and insight.

In her sculptures, which often incorporate photographic elements and objects, Rachel Harrison (*1966, New York) thematizes the complexity of art in a humorous manner, playing with the observer's appetite for decoding meanings. If she makes connections with the current discourses on sculpture and installation, her works remain difficult to characterize. Her unfailingly virtuoso sculptures are often constructed in colorfully painted organic-amorphous forms, serving as mounts for readymades–whether lifestyle magazines, Calvin Klein underwear packaging, or found photographs–appearing both finished and unfinished, thus extremely fragile and ephemeral. The unexpected mix of materials links kitsch and formalism with a cynical wink of the eye. * * Published with the Migros Museum für Gegenwartskunst, Zurich, and Kunsthalle Nürnberg.

The purpose of certification to TOGAF 9 Certified is to provide validation that, in addition to the knowledge and comprehension of TOGAF 9 Foundation level, the Candidate is able to analyze and apply this knowledge. The learning objectives at this level therefore focus on application and analysis in addition to knowledge and comprehension.

This third edition contains minor updates to remove references to the TOGAF 8-9 Advanced Bridge Examination1 and also adds four bonus practice examination questions to Appendix B.
