Gideon the Ninth
The Emperor needs necromancers.
The Ninth Necromancer needs a swordswoman.
Gideon has a sword, some dirty magazines, and no more time for undead bullshit.
Tamsyn Muir's Gideon the Ninth unveils a solar system of swordplay, cut-throat politics, and lesbian necromancers. Her characters leap off the page, as skillfully animated as arcane revenants. The result is a heart-pounding epic science fantasy.
Brought up by unfriendly, ossifying nuns, ancient retainers, and countless skeletons, Gideon is ready to abandon a life of servitude and an afterlife as a reanimated corpse. She packs up her sword, her shoes, and her dirty magazines, and prepares to launch her daring escape. But her childhood nemesis won't set her free without a service. The emperor has called his necromancers to action, and Harrowhark is set on Gideon attending her as bodyguard. If Gideon survives, she'll be a hero, and a free woman. If not, she can look forward to eternity as a shambling bone-servant.

Neviditeľné svetlo
Mystická púť duše k Bohu. Miesto mystiky v ľudskom živote v prelínaní dvoch svetov: vizuálno-pocitových duchovných vnemov s realitou stvoreného sveta - tak by sa dala v krátkosti charakterizovať nosná idea knihy Roberta Hugha Bensona. Mystická púť duše k Bohu - to je kľúčová téma zbierky krátkych próz pod spoločným názvom Neviditeľné svetlo (The Light Invisible). Hoci R. H. Benson nie je slovenskému čitateľovi neznámy - v Spolku sv. Vojtecha vyšiel roku 1933 v preklade do slovenčiny jeho román Pán sveta (The Lord of the World), pre súčasnú, do novo- dobého pozitivizmu uzavretú spoločnosť je však objavom. Jeho dielo nie je len zamyslením sa nad duchovnou dimenziou človeka. Benson vťahuje čitateľa do reálneho sveta, a pôsobivou rozprávačskou formou strhuje do hĺbky pravdivosti a priamej duchovnej skúsenosti, ktorá je Božím darom, lebo človek ju dostáva tak ako milosť - nezaslúžene a priamo. Bensonov svet je svetom Božieho stvoriteľského činu, ktorý prebieha v ustavičnej prítomnosti - sprítomňujúc nám, hoci putujúcim za nebeským svetlom, jeho odraz vo svetle, ktoré je neviditeľné, ale ktoré osvecuje každého človeka prichádzajúceho na tento svet. Božia milosť je v ňom všadeprítomná a necháva sa spoznať mimo času a priestoru, a predsa v pôsobivých obrazoch Bensonovho videnia - v realite, ktorú možno nahmatať a pocítiť. Autor Robert Hugh Benson sa narodil 18. novembra 1871 vo Wellingtone ako štvrtý syn anglikánskeho arcibiskupa z Canterbury E. W. Bensona. Študoval na Trinity College v Cambridge, roku 1895 sa stal anglikánskym duchovným, ale roku 1903 prestúpil do Katolíckej cirkvi a o rok neskôr bol vysvätený za kňaza. Stal sa kanonikom Westminsterskej katedrály a roku 1911, za pápeža Pia X., pápežským komorníkom. Zomrel roku 1914 v Manchestri. Jeho dielo tvorí 27 románov, menšie prózy, eseje, apologetické diela a zbierky kázní. Známe sú jeho príbehy z náboženských dejín Anglicka Kráľovo dielo (The King’s Achievement) o schizme Henricha VIII., Kráľovnina tragédia (The Queen’s Tragedy) o krátkom a nešťastnom medziobdobí vlády katolíčky Márie Tudorovej, Napriek mučeniu a smrti (Come Rack come Rope) a Kde je právo? (By what Authority?) o prenasledovaní katolíkov počas vlády Alžbety I. a väznení a smrti Márie Stuartovej. Benson sa zaoberá aj zmyslom sebaobetovania a mystickým putovaním k Bohu v románe Nijakých iných bohov (None Other Gods), a v románe Zaklínači (The Necromancers) zhubnými vplyvmi okultizmu a tajomnými silami, ktoré rozpútava. Zbierka próz Neviditeľné svetlo vyšla v Londýne roku 1903 a až o 99 rokov neskôr vychádza po prvýkrát v slovenskom preklade s pôsobivými ilustráciami, dielami pátra Teodora Jozefa Tekela. Z pätnástich príbehov, duchovných zážitkov, ktorých zlatou niťou je rozprávanie starého kňaza, sa pred očami čitateľa odhaľuje tajomstvo života a smrti, jeho hodnota vo svetle večnosti, hodnota každého individuálneho ľudského činu, skutku dobra či zla, hodnota modlitby, alebo i stretnutie s tajomným pútnikom z rovnomennej poviedk

Mona Lisa Overdrive
William Gibson, author of the extraordinary multiaward-winning novel Neuromancer, has written his most brilliant and thrilling work to date... The Mona Lisa Overdrive.
Enter Gibson's unique world—lyric and mechanical, sensual and violent, sobering and exciting—where multinational corporations and high tech outlaws vie for power, traveling into the computer-generated universe known as cyberspace. Into this world comes Mona, a young girl with a murky past and an uncertain future whose life is on a collision course with internationally famous Sense/Net star Angie Mitchell. Since childhood, Angie has been able to tap into cyberspace without a computer. Now, from inside cyberspace, a kidnapping plot is masterminded by a phantom entity who has plans for Mona, Angie, and all humanity, plans that cannot be controlled... or even known. And behind the intrigue lurks the shadowy Yazuka, the powerful Japanese underworld, whose leaders ruthlessly manipulate people and events to suit their own purposes... or so they think.
Goblin
Goblin Jig touží jen po klidu. Už pochopil, že jedinou šancí, jak se dožít vysokého věku, je neplést se silnějším členům tlupy pod nohy. Když Jigovu hlídku přepadne skupina dobrodruhů, udělá tedy to, v čem jsou goblini nejlepší: odhodí zbraň a vzdá se. A tak začíná Jigovo dobrodružství, protože ho dobrodruzi přinutí, aby je provedl labyrintem tunelů pod horou. Jejich cílem je získat magický artefakt, který byl kdysi dávno ukryt právě v těchto tunelech. Jak postupují hlouběji do podzemí, musí Jig čelit tvorům z gobliních legend: ogrům, trolům, dávno mrtvým sluhům hrozivého Nekromancera a nakonec i drakovi Straumovi. Jig si brzy uvědomí, že bude žít, jen dokud dobrodruhům nepomůže artefakt najít, a až je vyvede ven z tunelů, nebudou ho už potřebovat. Takže musí být rychlejší. Stačí najít způsob, jak je porazit…
