Lacná kniha Blind Faith (-90%)
As Trafford Sewell struggles to work through the usual crowds of commuters, he is confronted by the intimidating figure of his priest, full of accusatory questions. Why has Trafford not been streaming his every moment of sexual intimacy onto the comm
unity website like everybody else? Does he think he's different or special in some way? Better than his fellow man and woman? Does he have something to hide? Imagine a world where everyone knows everything about everybody. Where what a person "feels"
and "truly believes" is protected under the law, while what is rational, even provable, is condemned as heresy. A world where to question ignorance and intolerance is to commit a crime against Faith. Ben Elton's dark, savagely comic novel imagines a
post-apocalyptic society where religious intolerance combines with a confessional sex obsessed, self-centric culture to create a world where nakedness is modesty, ignorance is wisdom, and privacy is a dangerous perversion. A chilling vision of what'

Smrteľne slávni
„Jeden dom. Desať súťažiacich. Tridsať kamier. Štyridsať mikrofónov. Prežije len jeden.“ Toto je slogan televízneho programu Domáce väzenie. Vtipná, dynamická paródia spisovateľa Bena Eltona na tzv. reality show, na seriály, v ktorých uzavretú skupinu ľudí dňom i nocou neúprosne špehujú desiatky kamier a mikrofónov, spred ktorých niet úniku. Napriek ustavičnej kontrole sa stane vražda. Ako sa to mohlo stať? Ako to, že nikto nič nepočul a nevidel? A koho to vlastne zabili? Knihu preložil Patrick Frank.

Past Mortem
With old friends like these, who needs enemies? It's a question short, mild mannered detective Edward Newson is forced to ask himself having in romantic desperation logged on to the Friends Reunited website searching for the girlfriends of his youth.
Newson is not the only member of the Class of '86 who has been raking over the ashes of the past. As his old class begins to reassemble in cyberspace, the years slip away and old feuds and passions burn hot once more. Meanwhile, back in the present,
Newson's life is no less complicated. He is secretly in love with Natasha, his lovely but very attached sergeant, while comprehensively failing to solve a series of baffling and peculiarly gruesome murders. A school reunion is planned and as history
begins to repeat itself, the past crashes headlong into the present. Neither will ever be the same again. In Past Mortem, Ben Elton - previous winner of The Crime Writers' Association Gold Dagger Award for Popcorn - delivers both a heart-stopping th
riller and a killer comic romance.Upozornenie: Vzhľadom na častejšie obmeny vydaní tejto knihy v zahraničí, kus, ktorý vám zašleme, nemusí mať rovnakú obálku ako je zobrazená tu. Zobrazená obálka môže byť iba ilustračná. Obsah knihy aj cena budú však

Lepší společnost
Přiznejme si to: válku s drogami jsme definitivně prohráli. Už nemůžeme dál zavírat oči před faktem, že je celý svět protkán hustou sítí nejrůznějších kriminálních živlů. Popové hvězdičky, členové královských rodin, návštěvníci snobských klubů, děvky i bezdomovci, jedeme v tom prostě všichni a současná Británie je zemí, v níž zákony porušují všichni nebo přinejmenším každý zná někoho, kdo se zločinů dopouští. Proto je nutný rázný krok – zlegalizujeme všechny drogy.
