Drei Jahre Santa umfasst drei weihnachtliche Geschichten um die Beziehung des symphatischen Kriminalhauptkommissars Julian Heiler zu seinem Lieblingsfälscher Tobias. *** Santa incognito Heiligabend. Genau ein Jahr zuvor setzt Tobi seinen untreuen Lover vor die Tür. Um der Einsamkeit zu entkommen, flüchtet er sich in Arbeit. Bei einem Latte trifft er auf Julian Heiler, der als Weihnachtsmann verkleidet wieder Farbe und Hoffnung in sein Leben bringt. Allerdings auf eine Weise, mit der er nie im Leben gerechnet hätte. *** Santa in Love Tobias freut sich auf einen Heiligabend zu zweit mit seinem Freund Julian, bis ein Anruf seiner hochschwangeren Schwester ihn zwingt, sie beim gemeinschaftlichen Abendessen mit den Eltern zu vertreten. Seit Jahren hat er seine Eltern nicht besucht. Dass er schwul ist, hat er ihnen nie erzählt und natürlich auch nicht, dass sein Freund von Beruf Hauptkommissar bei der Berliner Kriminalpolizei ist, während er selbst sich nebenbei als Fälscher etwas dazuverdient und noch einen wichtigen Kunden besuchen muss. Aus dem entspannten Abend wird ein Tanz auf glühenden Kohlen. *** Santa in Not Himmel und Hölle liegen dicht beieinander. Während Tobias sich auf einen Heiligabend im Kreise der Familie freut, ist sein Freund Julian nicht recht bei der Sache. Ein Anrufer, der behauptet, er wäre ihm einen Gefallen schuldig, bereitet dem Kriminalhauptkommissar Kopfzerbrechen. Als Julian plötzlich spurlos verschwindet, ist Tobias nicht mehr zu halten. Mit Hilfe des kamikazeverdächtigen Taxifahrers Klaus macht er das weihnachtliche Berlin unsicher, um seinen Geliebten aus den Klauen der Entführer zu befreien. [more]

Winner of the 2015 Official Member Writing Contest (OMWC) An administrator to the Abbasid Caliph of Baghdad is sent on a mission to establish the arts and sciences in a small city sitting on the banks of the Tigris in 1,000 A.D. He enters a Kaveh Kanes incognito one evening, followed by an assassin... The modern coffee house took its "modern" form in the Islamic Empire during the reign of the Abbasid Caliphs many centuries after the birth of Christ. Baghdad was the center of civilization at a time when Europe found itself mired in intellectual darkness. Men gathered in the Kaveh Kanes to drink the strong brew, discuss events of the day, and keep the knowledge of the classics--Greek, Roman, and their own--alive. We owe much to these men of culture and learning, not the least of which is the modern coffee house. [more]

Jeffery Farnol The Definite Object A Romance Of New York

The Definite Object is the second Jeffery Farnol book I’ve read. It’s also the second Jeffery Farnol book I’ve picked hoping to find out that it was an early regency romance in the vein of Georgette Heyer, as I’ve read that they co-created the genre. I guess I missed the subtitle. But I find myself wondering whether the regencies are any different. Do they also all feature disaffected millionaires going incognito in order to hang out with poor people? Perhaps someday I will find out. The disaffected millionaire in The Definite Object is Geoffrey Ravenslee, who likes to race cars and box with his chauffeur and (apparently) be cheated by his servants. He realizes that he’s not doing anything with his life, so when he finds young Spike Chesterton attempting to burgle his home, he follows Spike home to Hell’s Kitchen, hoping to find someone to fall in love with. He finds Hermione Chesterton, Spike’s sister, who is of course exceptionally beautiful, as well as virtuous and hardworking. Spike is mixed up with a bad crowd, the worst member of which, Bud McGinnis, wants to marry Hermione. Bud has already driven one girl to suicide, and spends a lot of time trying to get Spike drunk. Geoffrey beats him up. It all feels like Farnol has raised the level of melodrama much higher than the story requires. There was one thread of the plot that I really liked, though: Soapy, one of Bud’s henchmen, is actively trying to bring about Bud’s downfall (he was in love with Maggie Finlay, the aforementioned suicide), and he’s the only character who seems to be aware of how events are playing out — everyone else is pretty self-involved. He’s not quite a bad guy, since he’s working against Bud, but he’s definitely not a good guy, either, and while I don’t know if I want to call Soapy himself sinister, the scenes in which he plots his revenge definitely are. It’s like the whole storyline was borrowed from a different book– a detective novel from the 1880s, probably — it wouldn’t be out of place in something like The Diamond Coterie. [more]

Lord Jim is a novel by Joseph Conrad. Jim a young British seaman becomes first mate on the Patna, a ship full of pilgrims travelling to Mecca for the hajj. When the ship starts rapidly taking on water and disaster seems imminent, Jim joins his captain and other crew members in abandoning the ship and its passengers. A few days later, they are picked up by a British ship. However, the Patna and its passengers are later also saved, and the reprehensible actions of the crew are exposed. The other participants evade the judicial court of inquiry, leaving Jim to the court alone. The court strips him of his navigation command certificate for his dereliction of duty. Jim is angry with himself, both for his moment of weakness, and for missing an opportunity to be a 'hero'. At the trial, he meets Charles Marlow, a sea captain, who in spite of his initial misgivings over what he sees as Jim's moral unsoundness, comes to befriend him, for he is "one of us". Marlow later finds Jim work as a ship chandler's clerk. Jim tries to remain incognito, but whenever the opprobrium of the Patna incident catches up with him, he abandons his place and moves further east. Later, Marlow's friend Stein suggests placing Jim as his factor in Patusan, a remote inland settlement with a mixed Malay and Bugis population, where Jim's past can remain hidden. While living on the island he acquires the title 'Tuan' ('Lord'). Here, Jim wins the respect of the people and becomes their leader by relieving them from the predations of the bandit Sherif Ali and protecting them from the corrupt local Malay chief, Rajah Tunku Allang. Jim wins the love of Jewel, a woman of mixed race, and is "satisfied... nearly". The end comes a few years later, when the town is attacked by the marauder "Gentleman" Brown. Although Brown and his gang are driven off, Dain Waris, the son of the leader of the Bugis community, is slain. Jim returns to Doramin, the Bugis leader, and willingly takes a fatal bullet in the chest from him as retribution for the death of his son. [more]
