Lovec očí
DETI SÚ VOĽNÉ.
PÁCHATEĽ SA PRIZNAL.
ALE VRAŽDENIE POKRAČUJE.
Triler Lovec očí voľne nadväzuje na otvorený koniec románu Zberateľ očí a ďalej sleduje
osudy postáv, s ktorými sme sa už zoznámili. Znovu stretávame policajného reportéra
Alexandra Zorbacha, jeho spolupracovníkov z polície či psychoterapeutku Alinu
Gregorievovú, pribudli však aj ďalšie kladné i záporné postavy, napríklad doktor Zarin Suker,
jeden z najlepších očných chirurgov na svete, ale aj psychopat.
Príbeh má dve dejové línie, ktoré striedavo rozprávajú dvaja rozprávači. Jeden z nich,
Alexander Zorbach, stále hľadá svojho synčeka Juliana a pátra po Zberateľovi očí, až
napokon natrafí na jeho úkryt. Dúfa, že tam nájde svojho uneseného syna. Stále verí, že
Julian žije, dokonca je ochotný ponúknuť svoj život, len aby ho zachránil.
Druhou rozprávačkou je nevidiaca psychoterapeutka Alina Gregorievová. Polícia ju
požiadala, aby vo väzenskej nemocnici vyšetrila očného chirurga dr. Sukera a pokúsila sa
pomocou svojich jasnovideckých schopností zistiť, kto má byť ďalšou obeťou. Uznávaný
špecialista Suker vedie dvojitý život. Neštíti sa ničoho. Cez deň vykonáva tie
najkomplikovanejšie operácie ľudského oka a v noci sa venuje špeciálnym pacientkam –
v pivnici svojej kliniky im odstraňuje viečka, znásilňuje ich a doháňa svoje obete
k samovražde. Alina sa k nemu dostane bližšie, ako je bezpečné.
Napokon je všetko inak, ale na to sme si už vo Fitzekových knihách zvykli.

Glow
'It scares me - what I did that night. Because I don't know my own power... But that's been the problem all along, hasn't it?'
My life has been shaped and controlled by the greed of others, but that ends now. I have burned down the court of King Midas and from those flames, I will rise and wield my own power. The problem is, when you turn against a King - everyone turns against you. But with Slade by my side we will fight the monarchs that come for us. And if we need to become the villains, then so be it. Because as long as I live in this world, I won't be used again. I must be strong. I must be undefeatable. I will shine like the sun - and blind our enemies...

Koniec sveta je iba začiatok
Dodávateľské reťazce fungujúce po celom svete môžu existovať iba vďaka ochrane, ktorú im poskytuje americké námorníctvo. Americký dolár je základom medzinárodných finančných a energetických trhov. Zložité inovatívne priemyselné odvetvia najprv vznikli pre uspokojenie amerických zákazníkov. Miliardy ľudí získali obživu a vzdelanie vďaka
rozširovaniu Amerikou vedeného obchodného systému po celom svete. Toto všetko bolo umelé. Toto všetko bolo dočasné. Toto všetko sa končí.
Geopolitický stratég Peter Zeihan v knihe mapuje nastupujúci svet: svet, v ktorom krajiny či regióny nebudú mať na výber – budú musieť vyrábať vlastné tovary a potraviny, zabezpečiť si vlastnú energiu, bojovať vo vlastných vojnách... a toto všetko pri klesajúcom počte obyvateľstva, ktoré zároveň starne. Zoznam krajín, ktoré to dokážu zvládnuť, je menší, ako si myslíme. Autor opisuje, ako sa v rukách nevedomého publika postupne hromadili zápalky, benzín a dynamit a navrhuje, že by možno bolo načase zavolať hasičov. Jeden svet sa končí. Druhý sa začína. Táto kniha vás vezme na jazdu, ktorá vám mnohé objasní (a zároveň vás trochu vystraší), na jazdu plnú predpovedí a bystrých komentárov podaných tradične „zeihanovsky“ – teda bez servítky.
After Steve
From the Wall Street Journal's Tripp Mickle, the dramatic, untold story inside Apple after the passing of Steve Jobs by following his top lieutenants-Jony Ive, the Chief Design Officer, and Tim Cook, the COO-turned-CEO-and how the fading of the former and the rise of the latter led to Apple losing its soul.
Steve Jobs called Jony Ive his "spiritual partner at Apple." The London-born genius was the second-most powerful person at Apple and the creative force who most embodies Jobs's spirit, the man who designed the products adopted by hundreds of millions the world over: the iPod, iPad, MacBook Air, the iMac G3, and the iPhone. In the wake of his close collaborator's death, the chief designer wrestled with grief and initially threw himself into his work designing the new Apple headquarters and the Watch before losing his motivation in a company increasingly devoted more to margins than to inspiration.
In many ways, Cook was Ive's opposite. The product of a small Alabama town, he had risen through the ranks from the supply side of the company. His gift was not the creation of new products. Instead, he had invented countless ways to maximize a margin, squeezing some suppliers, persuading others to build factories the size of cities to churn out more units. He considered inventory evil. He knew how to make subordinates sweat with withering questions.
Jobs selected Cook as his successor, and Cook oversaw a period of tremendous revenue growth that has lifted Apple's valuation to $3 trillion. He built a commanding business in China and rapidly distinguished himself as a master politician who could forge global alliances and send the world's stock market into freefall with a single sentence.
Author Tripp Mickle spoke with more than 200 current and former Apple executives, as well as figures key to this period of Apple's history, including Trump administration officials and fashion luminaries such as Anna Wintour while writing After Steve. His research shows the company's success came at a cost. Apple lost its innovative spirit and has not designed a new category of device in years. Ive's departure in 2019 marked a culmination in Apple's shift from a company of innovation to one of operational excellence, and the price is a company that has lost its soul.
Before The Storm
Azeroth is dying.
The Horde and the Alliance defeated the demonic Burning Legion, but a dire catastrophe is unfolding deep below the surface of the world. There is a mortal wound in the heart of Azeroth, struck by the sword of the fallen titan Sargeras in a final act of cruelty.
For Anduin Wrynn, king of Stormwind, and Sylvanas Windrunner, warchief of the Horde and queen of the Forsaken, there is little time to rebuild what remains and even less to mourn what was lost. Azeroth's devastating wound has revealed a mysterious material known as Azerite.
In the right hands, this strange golden substance is capable of incredible feats of creation; in the wrong ones, it could bring forth unthinkable destruction.
As Alliance and Horde forces race to uncover the secrets of Azerite and heal the wounded world, Anduin enacts a desperate plan aimed at forging a lasting peace between the factions. Azerite jeopardizes the balance of power, and so Anduin must gain the trust of Sylvanas. But, as ever, the Dark Lady has her own machinations.
For peace to be possible, generations of bloodshed and hatred must be brought to an end.
But there are truths that neither side is willing to accept and ambitions they are loath to relinquish. As Alliance and Horde alike grasp for the Azerite's power, their simmering conflict threatens to reignite all-out wara war that would spell doom for Azeroth.
Towers Of Midnight
The thirteenth novel in the Wheel of Time series - one of the most influential and popular fantasy epics ever published.
The Last Battle has started. The seals on the Dark One's prison are crumbling. The Pattern itself is unravelling, and the armies of the Shadow have begun to spill out of the Blight.
Perrin Aybara is haunted by spectres from his past. To prevail, he must find a way to master the wolf within him or lose himself to it for ever.
Meanwhile, Matrim Cauthon prepares for the most difficult challenge of his life. The Tower of Ghenjei awaits, and its secrets will reveal the fate of a friend long lost.
The end draws near. It's time to roll the dice.

The Atlas Six
The Atlas Six by Olivie Blake is the runaway TikTok sensation - the must-read fantasy novel of the year. If you loved Ninth House and A Deadly Education, you'll love this. The book includes gorgeous new illustrations.
Secrets. Betrayal. Seduction.
Welcome to the Alexandrian Society.
When the world's best magicians are offered an extraordinary opportunity, saying yes is easy. Each could join the secretive Alexandrian Society, whose custodians guard lost knowledge from ancient civilizations. Their members enjoy a lifetime of power and prestige. Yet each decade, only six practitioners are invited - to fill five places.
Contenders Libby Rhodes and Nico de Varona are inseparable enemies, cosmologists who can control matter with their minds. Parisa Kamali is a telepath, who sees the mind's deepest secrets. Reina Mori is a naturalist who can perceive and understand the flow of life itself. And Callum Nova is an empath, who can manipulate the desires of others. Finally there's Tristan Caine, whose powers mystify even himself.
Following recruitment by the mysterious Atlas Blakely, they travel to the Society's London headquarters. Here, each must study and innovate within esoteric subject areas. And if they can prove themselves, over the course of a year, they'll survive. Most of them.
The story continues in The Atlas Paradox, the heart-stopping sequel.
