The Department of Truth: The Complete Conspiracy Deluxe Hardcover Book 2
"A wonderfully dizzy mixture of Men in Black, John Carpenter, Stephen King, The Matrix, and 1970s conspiracy thrillers." —FORBESLee Harvey Oswald has held onto power within the Department of Truth for decades—and by any means necessary. But the choices he’ll make to survive America’s troubled new era test even his resolve. To understand the man behind the myth, we have to return to where it all started: Dallas, 1963, as President John F. Kennedy's motorcade passed the grassy knoll...and a woman in red with X's for eyes picked up a rifle in the window of the Texas Book Depository. Also in this Volume: Marilyn Monroe's life was stranger than fiction. So strange that she may have slipped out of reality herself. And who--or what--was Elvis Presley? A major turning point for the celebrated series is collected here in deluxe hardcover format from Eisner Award-winning writer JAMES TYNION IV (EXQUISITE CORPSES, W0RLDTR33) and Eisner Award-nominated artist MARTIN SIMMONDS (UNIVERSAL MONSTERS: DRACULA), featuring acclaimed guest creators including SCOTT SNYDER (Absolute Batman), JOSHUA HIXSON (THE DEVIANT), Letizia Cadonici (House of Slaughter), and more. Experience…THE COMPLETE CONSPIRACY. Collects The Department of Truth #18-33 and "Suspicious Minds"

Wrong Passport
‘This country is like a little island, where the people live so happily, as if nothing was wrong with the world...’ When Ralph Brewster wrote those lines, in the summer of 1943, Hungary’s involvement in WWII was still barely felt in Budapest. Less than a year later the Nazis took over. Born an American but given Italian nationality as a child (the ‘Wrong Passport’ of the title) Brewster refused to return ‘home’ to Italy to fight for Mussolini. Instead, he went into hiding in Budapest and his story of life in a country at war, resorting to ever more desperate measures to dodge detection, makes fascinating reading. As Fascists tighten their grip and the Soviets begin their advance, the once-carefree city of coffee houses, concert halls and thermal baths is torn apart and Brewster’s world disintegrates, together with that of his extraordinary cast of characters: the Archimandrite, the art-dealer spy, the cinema impresario, the Jewish philosophy student who refuses to wear the yellow star and the real-life ‘English Patient’.

The Politicization of Gender
This book investigates the strategic use of gender by far-right parties in Europe to mobilize voters and legitimize exclusionary nationalist agendas. Through comparative case studies of Italy and the Netherlands, it analyzes how parties deploy gendered narratives to oppose feminist and LGBTQ+ rights, justify anti-immigrant policies, and consolidate political power. Drawing on political speeches, campaign materials, manifestos, media coverage, and electoral data, the study reveals the intersections of gender with race, religion, and class in shaping political discourse. The monograph shows that gender is not a peripheral concern but a central axis in far-right strategies, influencing public opinion, social norms, and policy outcomes. By uncovering these dynamics, the book offers insights into the broader implications of far-right politics for democracy, social justice, and inclusive governance in Europe.

The Knocking
In a house this haunted, both the living and the dead pose dangers to a female journalist in nineteenth-century New York in a chilling historical gothic by the author of Who Is the Liar. It’s 1850 when intrepid journalist and women’s-rights advocate Edith Ann, “E. A.,” Howe arrives at the home of iconic newspaper founder Horace Greeley. Her assignment is to chronicle the uncanny gifts of Cathie Fox, an eleven-year-old medium in Horace’s charge. Mysterious knocking sounds follow Cathie as she channels the restless spirit of the Greeleys’ deceased son, Pickie—a ghostly consolation to Horace’s profoundly unwell and grieving wife. As her condition worsens, E. A. suspects foul play. Something is very wrong in this house. Sharp-tongued housekeepers warn her to steer clear of the attic. Pickie’s alleged messages from beyond are more disturbing than comforting. And the seemingly guileless Cathie claims that the house is eating her alive. All the while Cathie’s beautiful English governess is awakening something restless in E. A. As she wrestles with her own childhood terrors, E. A. must investigate the story of the spirit-knockings and reveal whether the greatest threats are coming from the living or the dead. © 2026 by Laura Lee Bahr, all rights reserved.
Mitz
An intimate portrait of the life and marriage of Leonard and Virginia Woolf - and their pet marmoset monkey called Mitz - from the National Book Award-winning author of THE FRIEND 'A perfect little gem of a book' NIGEL NICOLSON 'Nunez takes us beneath the surface to the essential mysteries of the human heart' WALL STREET JOURNALIn 1934, a 'sickly pathetic marmoset' came into the care of Leonard Woolf.

S. Eliot and Vita Sackville-West. This tender and imaginative mock biography offers a striking look at the lives of writers and artists shadowed by war, death, and mental breakdown, and at the solace and amusement inspired by its tiny subject. 'A wry, supremely intelligent literary gem about devotion - to writing, to other people, and between humans and their pets' NPR 'At its very best the book takes on the edginess of Mrs. Dalloway' CHICAGO TRIBUNE'In plumbing the mysterious affections between species, it comes to represent the solace and fragility of human relations more generally' PARIS REVIEWWinner of the Rosenthal Family Foundation Award given by the American Academy of Arts and Letters

For Rouenna
From the National Book Award-winning author of The Friend, one of the most celebrated novelists of her generation, the story of a woman's experiences of war and an unusual friendship'Resonant and provocative' VOGUE 'One of my favourite authors' NATALIE PORTMANI did not remember a Rouenna Zycinski. I was sure I had never known her. But many years ago, according to her letter, we had been neighbors in the same public housing project, on Staten Island. A writer receives a letter from an old acquaintance, recalling their shared childhood and asking if they can meet. Though fascinated by the stories Rouenna tells about her life as a combat nurse in Vietnam, the narrator flatly declines her request that they collaborate on a memoir. It is only later, in the aftermath of Rouenna's shocking death, that the narrator is drawn to write about her friend - and her friend's war. Writing Rouenna's story becomes all-consuming: at once a necessity and the only consolation. 'For Rouenna is about everything: war and remembrance, how we invent our "selves" and why; why we kill ourselves - or live. I was dazzled by this book' WASHINGTON POST 'Beautifully written . . . mesmerizing . . . enthralling' O, THE OPRAH MAGAZINE'An entirely different kind of war novel . . . What emerges is something that feels like truth' SAN FRANCISCO CHRONICLE

Lucy tak zůstane sama v městečku plném fám a podivných historek – o mužích, kteří záhadně mizí, o nalezenci z jeskyně, kterou zaplavuje příliv, o ženských hlasech, které šeptají na vlnách…

Katastrofa
Když se dopravní letadlo se třemi sty cestujícími na palubě kvůli zdravotní indispozici pilota zřítí z výšky jedenácti kilometrů nad zemí do areálu jaderné elektrárny, promění se zapadlé minnesotské městečko Waketa v epicentrum celonárodní krize, která může skončit katastrofou globálních rozměrů.
Mezinárodní stupnice hodnocení závažnosti jaderných událostí má sedm stupňů. V minulosti byly zaznamenány pouze dvě události odpovídající stupni 7, tedy velmi těžké havárii: Fukušima a Černobyl. Stupeň 8 nikdy nenastal.
Zatím.
V tomto nervydrásajícím thrilleru obyčejní lidé – pracovníci elektrárny, hasiči, učitelé i jejich příbuzní, sousedé či přátelé – čelí situaci, kdy se ocitá v sázce nejen osud Wakety, ale i celé planety. Najde v sobě hrstka statečných dost odvahy, vynalézavosti a odhodlání, aby obstála v těžké životní zkoušce?
Autorka románů Ultimátum a Havárie se vrací se třetí knihou a tentokrát jí její milované letecké prostředí poslouží jen jako odrazový můstek k mnohem napínavějšímu příběhu, v němž havárií skutečné nebezpečí teprve začíná.
