Karl Kielblock het verskeie boeke geskryf, waaronder die Lafras
Cuyper-reeks baie bekend is en wyd versamel word. Dit handel oor
seeavonture in diens van twee oorlogvoerende moondhede vroeg in die
19de eeu. Hierdie is die vyfde boek in die reeks. Die boeke is
propvol opwinding, spanning en avontuur! Lafras Cuyper word
persoonlik deur Napoleon gevra om Franse skipbreukelinge op die
eilandjie Abbe te gaan red. Hy staan nie terug vir die
lewensgevaarlike uitdaging nie en besef dat deeglike beplanning en
betroubare bemanning die sleutel tot sukses is. Sal hy die Engelse
om die bos kan lei en die skipbreukelinge red? Of sal hy vir
Napoleon teleurstel? Die verhaal van Lafras Cuyper is op feite
gebaseer.
Wikus Lombaard is 'n nice ou. Hy is kaptein van die eerste
rugbyspan en met sy dodelike skopskoen het hy sy span al meermale
uit die verknorsing gered. En sy meisie, Marissa, is die mooiste in
die skool. En al sukkel Wikus nou so 'n bietjie met die wiskunde,
is dit ook nie die ergste nie. Met Marissa by hom en die rugby wat
voorle, is dinge doodreg – hy weet mos immers waaroor dit gaan in
die lewe, veral noudat hy in die vakansie met sy suster se vriendin
gevry het – behoorlik gevry. All-the-way. Maar in hierdie laaste
skooljaar van hom, kort voor sy deelname aan die Cravenweek, loop
dinge skeef. Lelik skeef. Vir die eerste keer ontdek Wikus dat die
lewe ook reels het. En dat dit nie net in rugby is dat 'n ou van
die veld afgejaag kan word nie.
Divergent:
Sixteen-year-old Tris has been forced to make a terrible choice. In a divided society where everyone must conform, Tris does not fit. So she ventures out, alone, determined to find out where she truly belongs. Tris can trust no one in this brutal new world, but she is drawn to a boy who seems to both threaten and protect her.
Insurgent:
Tris has survived a brutal attack on her home, but she has paid a terrible price. Wracked by grief and guilt, she becomes reckless as she struggles to accept her new future. If Tris wants to uncover the truth, she must be stronger than ever as more shocking choices and sacrifices lie ahead.
Allegiant:
The faction-based society that Tris once believed in is shattered – fractured by violence and power struggles and scarred by loss and betrayal. So when offered a chance to explore the world past the limits she's known, Tris is ready. Perhaps beyond the fence, she will find a simple new life, free from complicated lies, tangled loyalties and painful memories.
But Tris's new reality is even more alarming than the one she left behind. And once again, Tris must battle to comprehend the complexities of human nature – and of herself – while facing impossible choices about courage, allegiance, sacrifice and love.
Four – A Divergent Collection:
Readers first encountered Tobias Eaton as "Four" in Divergent. His voice is an integral part of Allegiant. Readers will find more of this charismatic character's backstory told from his own perspective in Four: A Divergent Collection. When read together, these long narrative pieces illuminate the defining moments in Tobias Eaton's life.
