[EAN: 9780340922729], Gebraucht, sehr guter Zustand, [PU: Hodder & Stoughton, United Kingdom], JAKE ARNOTT THE HOUSE OF RUMOUR, Larry Zagorski spins wild tales of fantasy worlds for pulp magazines. But as the Second World War hangs in the balance, the lines between imagination and reality are starting to blur. In London, spymasters enlist occultists in the war of propaganda. In Southern California, a charismatic rocket scientist summons dark forces and an SF writer founds a new religion. In Munich, Nazis consult astrologists as they plot peace with the West and dominion over the East. And a conspiracy is born that will ripple through the decades to come. The truth, it seems, is stranger than anything Larry could invent. But when he looks back on the 20th century, the past is as uncertain as the future. Just where does truth end and illusion begin? THE HOUSE OF RUMOUR is a novel of soaring ambition, a mind-expanding journey through the ideas that have put man on the moon yet brought us to the brink of self-destruction. What will you believe? The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged., Books<

SYNOPSIS: "What connects Larry Zagorski - a young Californian writer of pulp fiction - with a British intelligence agent, the occultist Aleister Crowley, Hitler's Deputy Rudolf Hess, a transsexual prostitute and Ian Fleming? The answer lies in 1941 when Britain was fighting for survival with every propaganda trick in the book, and in a private memoir that emerges decades later. But when Larry looks back on that pivotal year, he finds it hard to separate fact from disinformation, especially since the ensuing Cold War and Space Age seem more fantastic than anything he could have dreamed up."
