Lacná kniha America Pacafica (-90%)
Hundreds of miles off the frozen coast of what was once California is America Pacifica, where those who fled the dawn of the new ice age have tried to recreate their former home ...America Pacifica is an island hundreds of miles off the coast of California - the only warm place left in a world in the grip of a new ice age. Darcy Pern is seventeen; her mother has gone missing, and the novel details her quest to find out the truth about her disappearance - a quest which soon becomes an investigation of the disturbing origins of America Pacifica itself, and its sinister and reclusive leader, a man known only as Tyson. America Pacifica invites comparison with the work of Margaret Atwood and China Mieville, but also with Cormac McCarthy's The Road, for its post-apocalyptic scenario and the touching relationship between Darcy and her mother, and the Stieg Larsson trilogy for its implacable central character who is determined to uncover the truth.

The Quiet Before
Why do some radical ideas make history?
We tend to think of revolutions as loud: frustrations and demands shouted in the streets. But the ideas fuelling them have traditionally been conceived in much quieter spaces, in the small, secluded corners where a vanguard can imagine alternate realities. This extraordinary book is a search for those spaces, over centuries and across continents, and a warning that they might soon go extinct.
The Quiet Before is a grand panorama, stretching from the seventeenth-century correspondence that jump-started the scientific revolution to the encrypted apps used by epidemiologists fighting the pandemic in the shadow of an inept administration. Beckerman shows that defining social movements - from decolonization to feminism - thrive when they are given the time and space to gestate.
Today, we are replacing these productive, private spaces with monolithic platforms. Why did the Arab Spring fall apart and Occupy Wall Street never gain traction? Has Black Lives Matter lived up to its full potential? Beckerman reveals what this new social media ecosystem still needs - from patience to focus - and offers a recipe for growing radical ideas again.
Lyrical and profound, The Quiet Before looks to the past to help us imagine a different future.

The Time Before the Sun
Author searches the past of Earth, this solar system’s, and humanity’s. In his mind, if we are to forge a successful future, we must heed the Mesopotamian warning: In the Past the Future is Hidden.This is the first Bonilla book with the Our Hom Update ignition chapter. Other titles will follow. Our Hom means our human origin moons. Venus, Earth, Mars, and Heaven are our four human origin moons.
Moon Heaven is no longer with us. She escaped the solar system as part of the Nibiru lunar system.
Our Hom reveals original content from the author’s 37-year-research dealing with the remote past of this solar system, including certain aspects of what he believes are our true multi-lunar human origin worlds.
Our human origin moons have only one mission: to produce the Harvest. This mission is proceeding as you read. At the end of the day, only one thing matters: that you understand your position on the Harvest. You will travel well if you do.
We at Our Hom - https://hespesky.com - are pitching the idea that the Harvest is consistent with the existence of the spirit, where the spirit is an electromagnetic being with more pure physical aspects than the flesh. Here eternity becomes the ruler of the Entire Total of Everything. Our Hom is convinced that everything is eternal, including life.
Of course, you first must understand that moon Mercury, moon Venus, the Moon, moon Earth, and moon Mars must be recent sun captures (? 3,000 years)We have also included a few revised chapters from the author’s best seller book, The Lost Planet of Enki. He urges the reader to pay close attention to the following…Lightning, hurricanes, and tornadoes are the kisses the atmosphere of Earth is giving to her ever-evolving surface. Think of this as a celestial wedding where we are forcibly invited.
The people that claim they know what is happening here are calling their knowledge “human-made climate change.” This is completely wrong. Our Hom indicates that Earth is growing bigger and bigger. Getting hotter and hotter. This book will begin to tell you how this is taking place: How Earth is getting ready to become awfully bad for ground gardening. And, if we cannot tell you everything here, you will be directed to hespesky.com where all the right information is located.Warning: Do not attach your heart to material things. They will all be gone. You will certainly suffer more if you put your love on what you build. Everything that you have, and love, which is of this Earth, must remain of this Earth.Do not pray that we are wrong. Praying will do you no good. Asking for God’s help will be futile. Earth’s destiny as a developing celestial body is unstoppable. Just see everything different. Earth is a farm. We are the produce. The spirit is the farmer. The universe is the market. You are seeing the Harvest going on from sunup to sundown. From East to West. From North to South. From birth to…
So, are you ready to fly to The Time Before the Sun?

There's only one thing stopping me from dying of shame. I need to find a killer.

The Key Man
In this compelling story of greed, chicanery and tarnished idealism, two Wall Street Journal reporters investigate a man who Bill Gates and Western governments entrusted with hundreds of millions of dollars to make profits and end poverty but now stands accused of masterminding one of the biggest, most brazen frauds ever.
Arif Naqvi was charismatic, inspiring and self-made. The founder of the Dubai-based private-equity firm Abraaj, he was the Key Man to the global elite searching for impact investments to make money and do good. He persuaded politicians he could help stabilize the Middle East after 9/11 by providing jobs and guided executives to opportunities in cities they struggled to find on the map. Bill Gates helped him start a billion-dollar fund to improve health care in poor countries, and the UN and Interpol appointed him to boards. Naqvi also won the support of President Obama's administration and the chief of a British government fund compared him to Tom Cruise in Mission: Impossible.
The only problem? In 2019 Arif Naqvi was arrested on charges of fraud and racketeering at Heathrow airport. A British judge has approved his extradition to the US and he faces up to 291 years in jail if found guilty.
With a cast featuring famous billionaires and statesmen moving across Asia, Africa, Europe and America, The Key Man is the story of how the global elite was duped by a capitalist fairy tale. Clark and Louch's thrilling investigation exposes one of the world's most audacious scams and shines a light on the hypocrisy, corruption and greed at the heart of the global financial system.
The Girl Before
Enter the world of One Folgate Street and discover perfection . . . but can you pay the price?
Jane stumbles on the rental opportunity of a lifetime: the chance to live in a beautiful ultra-minimalist house designed by an enigmatic architect, on condition she abides by a long list of exacting rules.
After moving in, she makes a shocking discovery about the previous tenant, Emma, and Jane starts to wonder if her own story will be a rerun of the girl before.
