This short book is for anyone who runs or markets an app – or other startup, scaleup or challenger brand – and wants to generate a ton of buzz, coverage and attention but without having a ton of money to do so.

1886, nach dem plötzlichen Tod seiner Eltern, kehrt der junge Adam Salton wieder nach England zurück, wo ihn sein Onkel Richard Salton wie einen Sohn aufnimmt. Schon bei der Ankunft sorgen bei Adam eindringliche Visionen und Tagträume für eine Trübung des sonst so herzlichen Empfangs. Zusammen mit Nathaniel de Salis erforscht Adam diese Phänomene und stößt dabei auf eine fürchterliche Entdeckung. Seit Jahrhunderten dient die Grafschaft einem grausamen Kult, dem weißen Gott, einem mythologischen Schlangenwesen aus grauer Vorzeit, das immer noch in den Mooren von Derbyshire haust.

Vielerorts hören wir darüber hinaus Kritik an den sozialen Verhältnissen der arbeitenden Bevölkerung. Insbesondere die zweite Abteilung „Sklaven der Arbeit“ weiß den Leser oder in unserem Fall den Hörer zu fesseln. Anschaulich beschreibt die Vertonung dieses Romanteils die Not der Weber in Karl Mays Heimat und schildert eine Intrige, die vor langer Zeit passierte und der sich nun der geheimnisvolle „Fürst des Elends“ annimmt.
