Fagbøger for børn og unge: krig, slag og væbnede styrker

Sigurd Barrett markerer 100-året for Genforeningen Fortællingen begynder med ”Der var engang …”, og H.C. Andersen kigger også forbi – men der er ikke tale om et eventyr, men om en rigtig historie fra den virkelige verden. Det er en historie om krig og kærlighed, om magt og store følelser. For når det handler om, hvor vi hører til og hvilket sprog, vi skal tale, så handler det om vores identitet, og den vil alle mennesker gerne selv være med til at bestemme. Indtil 1920 var området syd for Kolding en del af Tyskland og fyldt med svære nationale konflikter. Men i 1920 resulterede en folkeafstemning i, at den daværende grænse blev flyttet 50 km sydpå, hvor den ligger i dag. På den måde blev Sønderjylland genforenet med Danmark. Omkring 100-års-jubilæet for Genforeningen vil Grænseforeningen og Sigurd Barrett formidle historien om Genforeningen i et nutidigt perspektiv for hele Danmark gennem en bog, helt nye sange og 100 koncerter over hele landet Sigurd Barrett formidler i Sigurd fortæller om genforeningen et vigtigt stykke danmarkshistorie i sin veloplagte, humoristiske og oplysende fortællestil, som vi kender fra Sigurd fortæller danmarkshistorie. Bogen er vedlagt en CD med 16 dejlige sange af Sigurd.

She looked across at me, the flickering fire lighting her eyes with flame. An omen."Yeah. We really are."They never expected a home-coming party. When the teens land back in New Zealand, they're greeted by a ghost-town. The houses, empty. Farms, untended. And their families remain imprisoned. The Prime Minister's soldiers control the nation, patrolling the streets and eliminating any resistance. Alone again, the teens fight to survive. But this time, it's different-they won't let the enemy gain the upper hand. As they plan their biggest attack yet, the teens must rely on each other for strength. Victory is theirs for the taking.

The money is coming from the Aurora Empire, but the operators are near at hand in the Badlands. The second problem is less immediate but has greater consequences for the universe. The Goldenes Tor military is about to overthrow their emperor and enter the war in support of the Orion Confederation against the Aurora Empire. Such an event would mean defeat for the Zekes.The pirate leader decides to focus on the latter problem while letting his allies handle the former problem.

Once found, they will be dealt with in the usual way such problems are handled in the Badlands: ruthless violence administered with vengeance.The blood contract is being funded by members of the peerage within the Aurora Empire. These elites know this is their best chance to get Hawkins and O'Hare before these two would-be contemporaries can become forces within Aurora upper society at the war's end.
