Gretel and the Dark
Gretel and the Dark is Eliza Granville's dazzling novel of darkness, evil - and hope. Vienna, 1899. Josef Breuer - celebrated psychoanalyst - is about to encounter his strangest case yet. Found by the lunatic asylum, thin, head shaved, she claims to have no name, no feelings - to be, in fact, not even human. Intrigued, Breuer determines to fathom the roots of her disturbance. Years later, in Germany, we meet Krysta. Krysta's Papa is busy working in the infirmary with the 'animal people', so little Krysta plays alone, lost in the stories of Hansel and Gretel, the Pied Piper, and more. And when everything changes and the real world around her becomes as frightening as any fairy tale, Krysta finds that her imagination holds powers beyond what she could have ever guessed...Eliza Granville was born in Worcestershire and currently lives in Bath. She has had a life-long fascination with the enduring quality of fairytales and their symbolism, and the idea for Gretel and the Dark was sparked when she became interested in the emphasis placed on these stories during the Third Reich.

Batman/The Shadow: The Murder Geniuses
As Gotham City's guardian, Batman has investigated nearly every kind of murder--but he's never seen a homicide as strange as this. The worlds of Batman and the legendary vigilante the Shadow collide in this crossover for the ages, co-written by New York Times best-selling author Scott Snyder and now available in paperback!
The death of Lamont Cranston, an Arkham Asylum employee, leads the Dark Knight Detective to an impossible conclusion: the crime was committed by a man also named Lamont Cranston, who died more than 50 years ago--a man better known as the Shadow.
The Shadow is definitely alive and kicking, however, and once Batman picks up his trail he will stop at nothing to bring him to justice. But it soon becomes clear that the hunter and his quarry are both entangled in a much larger web of evil--a conspiracy that threatens everything they have sworn to protect.
Now Batman and the Shadow must put aside their differences to stop a terrifying new foe called the Stag, who has set his sights first on Gotham and then the world. And this merciless monster has a partner of his own: the Clown Prince of Crime himself, the Joker.
Can the Shadow and the Bat stop this unholy alliance? Or will these two brilliant crime-fighters fall victim to the twisted genius of their archnemeses?
New York Times best-selling author Scott Snyder joins forces with acclaimed talents Steve Orlando and Riley Rossmo for Batman/The Shadow: The Murder Geniuses--an action-packed thriller centuries in the making!

Mayan prophecy
For thirty-two years, archaeologist Julius Gabriel investigated the Mayan calendar, a 2,500-year-old enigma that predicts the Apocalypse. His research led him to believe that ancient constructions like the Great Pyramid, Stonehenge, Angkor Wat, and C
hichen Itza, were all built as part of a primeval fail-safe system, that might save humanity from total annihilation. But now Julius is dead, and his theories have perished with him, discredited and ridiculed. With the help of Dominique, a part-Mayan
psychiatric intern, Julius' son, Michael, breaks out of an insane asylum in Miami, where he has been illegally imprisoned. Together they flee to the Yucatan Peninsula, where Michael believes he can find the evidence he needs to prove his father's th
eory, and to convince the world of the fast-approaching global catastrophe. In Mexico, at the autumn equinox, a serpent's shadow appears over the northern face of the Temple of Kukulcan, as it has done for a thousand years. But this time is different
- it is the beginning of the end...

13 Bullets
All the official reports say they are dead-extinct since the late '80s, when a fed named Jameson Arkeley nailed the last vampire in a fight that nearly killed him. But the evidence proves otherwise. When a state trooper named Caxton calls the FBI looking for help in the middle of the night, it is Arkeley who gets the assignment - who else? He's been expecting such a call. Sure, it's been years since any signs of an attack, but Arkeley knows what most people don't: there is one left. In an abandoned asylum she is rotting, plotting and biding her time in a way that only the undead can. But the worst thing is the feeling that the vampires want more than just Caxton's blood. They want her for a reason, one she can't guess; a reason her sphinxlike partner knows but won't say; a reason she has to find out or die trying. Now there are only 13 bullets between Caxton and Arkeley and the vampires. There are only 13 bullets between us, the living, and them, the damned.

Desert Children
Fashion model, UN ambassador and courageous spirit, Waris Dirie was born into a family of tribal desert nomads in Somalia. She told her story - enduring female circumcision at five years old; running away through the desert; being discovered by Teren
ce Donovan and becoming a top fashion model - in her book, the worldwide bestseller, DESERT FLOWER. In DESERT DAWN she wrote about becoming a UN Special Ambassador against FGM (female genital mutilation) and returning to her family in Somalia. DESERT
CHILDREN tells us how she and the journalist Corinna Milborn have investigated the practice of FGM in Europe - they estimate that up to 500,000 women and girls have undergone or are at risk of FGM. At the moment, France is the only European country
in which offenders are convicted and no European country officially recognises the threat of genital mutilation as a reason for asylum. Here are the voices of women who have felt encouraged and emboldened by Waris Dirie's courage. They speak out for
the first time and move us to action.

Nataša, pícníci a jiné eseje
Nataša, pícníci a jiné eseje přináší vybrané texty o politice a společnosti z let 1972–1985, na nichž lze sledovat Škvoreckého angažmá proti módně levicovým socialistickým názorům v kanadsko-americkém veřejném prostoru, ve vysoké politice i v každodenním životě. Vedle toho píše autor o svém rozhodnutí zůstat po roce 1969 natrvalo v Kanadě a nevracet se do konsolidujícího se husákovského Československa, o rozvíjející se samizdatové (strojopisné) kultuře mezi nonkonformními českými spisovateli, o totožnosti nacistické a komunistické ideologie nebo o českých a slovenských emigrantech, kteří se na Západě deklarovali zprvu jako političtí exulanti, ale po obdržení asylu si s Československou socialistickou republikou právně „upravili vztah“, což mimo jiné znamenalo zavázat se k tomu, že na Západě nebudou podnikat nic proti „zájmům ČSSR“. „Pícníci“ v titulu knihy znamenají Škvoreckého počeštěné označení levicově orientovaných politiků, novinářů nebo umělců („peacemakers“), kteří v sedmdesátých a osmdesátých letech vystupovali jednostranně za odzbrojení západních velmocí, tedy proti vlastním demokratickým režimům, de facto ve prospěch komunistických zemí, zejména tehdejšího Sovětského svazu.

Batman HC Vol 1 & 2 Deluxe Edition (Rebirth)
BATMAN: THE REBIRTH DELUXE EDITION BOOK 1 collects the first two Dark Knight arcs from a new era, in hardcover for the first time! With stories by author Tom King (THE OMEGA MEN) and art by David Finch (WONDER WOMAN), Mikel Janin (GRAYSON), Riley Rossmo (CONSTANTINE: THE HELLBLAZER), Mitch Gerads (SHERIFF OF BABYLON) and more, this is a great starting-point novel for longtime fans and new DC readers alike. Batman's methods have always been clear. He fights criminals wherever he finds them. He lives in the shadows. And he works alone. But as Gotham evolves, so must the Bat. A duo of super-powered youths calling themselves Gotham and Gotham Girl have joined the fight against crime in Batman's city. They want to pull Gotham out of the shadows and into a brighter tomorrow. But with two godlike metahumans protecting the city by the light of day, does Gotham still need a Dark Knight? Through these young heroes, the Dark Knight discovers a criminal plotting against his city. To stop this foe, Batman must align himself with a team of villains straight out of Arkham Asylum. This makeshift Suicide Squad is every bit as unstable as the real deal, and while Catwoman might have a good heart despite her troubled past, the other members most certainly do not.

Amnesia
When Gaby Bailleux released the Angel Worm into Australia's prison system, allowing hundreds of asylum seekers to walk free, she also let the cat out of the bag. The Americans ran the prisons, like so many parts of her country, and so the doors of some 5000 American places of incarceration also opened. Both countries' secrets threatened to pour out. Was this a mistake, or had Gaby declared cyberwar on the US? Felix Moore - known to himself as 'Australia's last serving left wing journalist' - has no doubt. Her act was part of the covert conflict between Australia and America. That conflict dates back to the largely forgotten Battle of Brisbane in 1943, stretches forward to America's security interests in Pine Gap and commercial interests everywhere, and has as its most outrageous act the coup of 1975. Funded by his property-developer mate Woody Townes, Felix is going to write Gaby's biography, to save her, and himself, and maybe his country. But how to get Gaby to co-operate? What role does her film-star mother have to play? And what, after all, does Woody really want?

The Snowden Files (Movie Tie in Edition)
The official movie tie-in edition to Oliver Stone?s major motion picture, starring Joseph Gordon-Levitt. It began with a tantalizing, anonymous email: ?I am a senior member of the intelligence community.? What followed was the most spectacular intelligence breach ever, brought about by one extraordinary man. Edward Snowden was a 29-year-old computer genius working for the National Security Agency when he exposed the near-universal mass surveillance programs of the U.S. government. In a tour de force of investigative journalism that reads like a spy novel, award-winning Guardianreporter Luke Harding tells Snowden?s astonishing story?from the day he left his glamorous girlfriend in Honolulu carrying a hard drive full of secrets, to the weeks of his secret-spilling in Hong Kong, to his battle for asylum and his exile in Moscow. For the first time, Harding brings together the many sources and strands of the story?touching on everything from concerns about domestic spying to the complicity of the tech sector?while also placing us in the room with Edward Snowden himself. The result is a gripping insider narrative?and a necessary and timely account of what is at stake for all of us in the new digital age.

Jednadevadesátníci
Českobudějovický 91. pěší pluk patří mezi nejznámější útvary bývalé rakousko-uherské armády. Ne však díky svým skutečným zásluhám a válečné historii, ale díky spisovateli Jaroslavu Haškovi, který do kulis pluku zasadil příběh o dobrém vojáku Švejkovi. Tím byla zcela odsunuta do pozadí sláva, ale také utrpení a oběť našich jihočeských předků. Až nyní po sto letech vyvstává ze zapomenutí neuvěřitelný příběh jednadevadesátníků zelených ďáblů italské fronty. Na 5000 z nich se nikdy nevrátilo ke svým rodinám a zůstalo na hřbitůvcích bojišť v Srbsku, Karpatech, Haliči, Julských Alpách a na Krasu. Tato kniha si klade za úkol navrátit synům Šumavy úctu jejich potomků a připomenout mnohé osudy dosud ukrývané jen za jmény na pomnících padlých.
Cold Commands
Ringil Eskiath, scarred wielder of the kiriath-forged broadsword Ravensfriend, is a man on the run - from his past and the family who have disowned him, from the slave trade magnates of Trelayne who want him dead, and apparently from the dark gods themselves, who are taking an interest but making no more sense than they ever have. Outlawed and exiled from his ancestral home in the north, Ringil has only one place left to turn - Yhelteth, city heart of the southern Empire, where perhaps he can seek asylum with the kiriath half-breed Archeth Indamaninarmal, former war comrade and now high-up advisor to the Emperor Jhiral Khimran II. But Archeth Indamaninarmal has problems of her own to contend with, as does her house guest, bodyguard and one time steppe nomad Egar the Dragonbane. And far from gaining the respite he is seeks, Ringil will instead find himself implicated in fresh schemes and doubtful allegiances no safer than those he has left behind. Old enemies are stirring, the old order is rotted through and crumbling, and though no-one yet knows it, the city of Yhelteth is about to explode ...
