Nicolas le Floch Affair
This novel opens at the beginning of the year 1774, the last year of Louis XV's reign. Over fifteen years have passed since the first novel in the series, THE CHATELET APPRENTICE, and Nicolas is by now well established in his police career, and in his position as a trustee of King Louis XV. The only fly in the ointment is his fraught relationship with a wealthy widow, Julie de Lasterieux. When Julie is found dead in suspicious circumstances following an argument with Nicolas, he quickly becomes the prime suspect. Although the King and his police boss, Sartine, believe in his innocence, Nicolas has many enemies keen to strengthen the case against him. To deflect attention, Nicolas is sent on a secret Royal mission to London to negotiate the silence of the publisher of a number of scurrilous pamphlets about the King's mistresses. When an attempt is made on his life en route to London, Nicolas starts to wonder whether the attempt to frame him for murder is part of a wider political conspiracy. On his return to Paris, Nicolas has to continue the fight to clear his name and unmask the culprit, as well as helping attend the ailing King. This novel is an intelligent and well-researched historical thriller, crammed with details about the food, politics and social conditions of the time. Parot doesn't stint on showing us the mud, muck and degrading living conditions of the poor in pre-revolutionary France, in contrast to the luxurious life enjoyed by the Royal family and their courtiers at Versailles. In the character of the more working class detective Bourdeau, Nicolas' assistant, Parot neatly depicts the growing tension between the people and the privileged aristocracy. At times though, the plot can seem a little slowed by discussions of food and recipes by the characters, and by the political gossip, which can be a touch confusing notwithstanding the useful provision of a dramatis personae at the beginning of the book. Overall, THE NICOLAS LE FLOCH AFFAIR maintains the high standards of the series, but would not be the obvious starting point for a reader new to the series.

GUARDIAN DE LOS ARCANOS
En el año 70 despuĂ©s de Cristo, los judĂos se sublevaron contra los romanos. La revuelta terminĂł cuando las legiones del general Tito irrumpieron en el templo de JerusalĂ©n, matando a los Ăşltimos resistentes y saqueando sus tesoros. Poco antes, sin embargo, el sumo sacerdote habĂa entregado el objeto más sagrado, el sĂmbolo de Israel, al joven David. Desde aquel momento, y hasta que llegara la señal que Ă©l habĂa profetizado, David y sus descendientes serĂan los guardianes del secreto del templo. En diciembre de 1944, un alto oficial nazi ocultaba en una antigua mina una misteriosa y pesada caja de madera traĂda desde Francia. Nadie, ni siquiera los prisioneros que tuvieron que cargar con ella a travĂ©s de la nieve, supo jamás lo que realmente contenĂa.Hasta que en la actualidad…El inspector Yusuf Jalifa (uno de los protagonistas de El enigma de Cambises) está visitando una tumba en el Valle de los Reyes cuando recibe aviso de que, en una necrĂłpolis cercana, se ha encontrado el cadáver de un anciano europeo. Cuando lo ve, y se fija en los detalles, Jalifa asocia esta muerte con el primer caso en el que trabajĂł en su vida: el asesinato de una mujer israelĂ, antigua prisionera de los campos de concentraciĂłn, asesinada en un templo egipcio. Parece que al final ha descubierto a su asesino. Y cuando el inspector registra la casa del muerto, se encuentra con otra sorpresa: en el sĂłtano se amontonan piezas arqueolĂłgicas y libros de historia. ÂżQuiĂ©n era este hombre? ÂżPor quĂ© asesinĂł a la mujer israelĂ? Para averiguarlo, tendrá que solicitar la colaboraciĂłn de un policĂa israelĂ, con quien se lleva mal desde el principio.Mientras, en JerusalĂ©n, una periodista palestina investiga una carta anĂłnima que ha recibido. En ella se adjunta fotocopia de un documento medieval y, cuando lo descifra, le pone sobre la pista de un tesoro de poderes mĂsticos que, en el año 1100, fue transportado desde JerusalĂ©n al castillo de Castelombres, en tierra de los cátaros.Un objeto sagrado, de gran poder mĂstico, cuyo paradero se desconoce desde hace siglos. Un tesoro por el cual ha sido asesinada gente. Un objeto cuyo descubrimiento podrĂa ser manipulado para empeorar la conflictiva situaciĂłn entre israelĂes y palestinos. Un policĂa resuelto a descubrir la verdad, cueste lo que cueste.

A ketogén csoda
Gerle Éva blogger-újságíró, író 2015 tavaszán kezdte a ketogén diétát s vele együtt a komoly edzéseket. Életmódváltása eredeti célja nem a fogyás volt (bár ismert a ketogénnek ilyen hatása is), "hanem az, hogy megtaláljam az elveszett kapcsolatot a testem és a tudatom között. Értsem, mit jelez a testem, mikor vagyok fáradt, túlterhelt, szomjas, éhes, és lehetőleg csak akkor egyek, ha igazi éhséget érzek, és e megértés ahhoz segítsen hozzá, hogy kicsattanóan jó közérzettel, sokáig, egészségben éljek. Befektetésnek szántam a ketogént a jövőbe. Hittem abban, hogy ha helyreállítom azt, amit az életmódommal korábban elrontottam, akkor a testem jelez, és akkor annyit fogok enni, amennyire szükségem van, és mozogni is annyit fogok, amennyi az optimális formához kell, és ezek eredménye lesz az én igazi testem, alkatom. És így is lett."
A szerző azért akarja megosztani tudását és tapasztalatait a ketogén életmódról, hogy hozzásegítse az érdeklődőket ennek az "egyszerű, értelmes, bárki számára felfogható, alkalmazható rendszer" megismeréséhez. Mint írja, "ez a magyarított-kipróbált ketogén élhető gyakorlat, amelynek csak néhány fontos alapelve van."
A szénhidrát- és gabonaalapú étrend helyett egy gazdag fehérje- és zöldségforrásokra, valamint aktív edzésre épülő életmódot hirdet ez a "magyar ketogén", mely merít a paleóból is. Bár szemléletváltást is követel, de "a ketogén nem morális meggyőződés, nem ideológia, nem kell benne hinni, nem kell akarni, pozitívan gondolni rá - anélkül is működik.
A ketogén felelős, tudatos döntés, felnőttséget és önállóságot igényel. Aki sikeres ketóst én láttam, mind okos és elkötelezett volt, bizonyos vagányság, lazaság jellemezte, és keményen sportolt."
Akinek szeme előtt ez a cél lebeg, az haszonnal forgathatja Gerle Éva könyvét.

Imádlak, Jason Thorn
„Tökéletes romantikus regény!” - BFF BOOK BLOG
Az első perctől kezdve odavagyok érte... Jason Thorn… a bátyám legjobb gyerekkori barátja. Ó, hogy milyen iszonyatosan szerelmes voltam ebbe a fiúba! Ugye milyen romantikus? Ahogy az ember lánya érzi az izgalmas bizsergést, amikor először átéli, amint szárnyra kapnak azok a híres pillangók – és csakis Jason miatt! Csakhogy egyszer véget ér a tündérmese, sárba tiporják az álmaidat, utána pedig biztos, ami biztos, darabokra törik a szívedet is. Ez a fiú pontosan ezt tette velem.

Amikor egy szörnyű tragédia történt a családjában és elköltöztek, én készen álltam arra, hogy mindörökre elfelejtsem. Mára igazi filmcsillag lett belőle. Olyan szupersztár, akiért a nők őrjöngő lelkesedéssel rajonganak. Olyan ez, mint egy valóra vált álom, ugye? Szerintem egyáltalán nem. Hogy ki vagyok én? Olive, egy újdonsült írónő. Vagyis hát ÉN írtam azt a könyvet, amit filmre visznek, mégpedig Jason főszereplésével! Ezenkívül az internet azzal van tele, hogy én vagyok az a szerencsés lány, akit a szupersztár Jason Thorn hamarosan feleségül vesz. Most megint azt gondolod, hogy a világ legmázlistább csaja vagyok? Hát nem. Szó sincs semmi ilyesmiről. Ella Maise, nemzetközi bestsellerszerző első, magyar nyelven megjelenő kötetében kilép a hétköznapok szürkeségéből, és egy varázslatosan romantikus világba repít.

The Wolf and the Woodsman
Stories don't have to be true to be real...
In her forest-veiled pagan village, Evike is the only woman without power, making her an outcast clearly abandoned by the gods. When soldiers arrive from the Holy Order of Woodsmen to claim a pagan girl for the king's blood sacrifice, Evike is betrayed by her fellow villagers and surrendered.
But when monsters attack the Woodsmen and their captive en route, slaughtering everyone but Evike and the cold, one-eyed captain, they have no choice but to rely on each other. Except he's no ordinary Woodsman - he's the disgraced prince, Gaspar Barany, whose father needs pagan magic to consolidate his power. Gaspar fears that his cruelly zealous brother plans to seize the throne and instigate a violent reign that would damn the pagans and the Yehuli alike. As the son of a reviled foreign queen, Gaspar understands what it's like to be an outcast, and he and Evike make a tenuous pact to stop his brother.
As their mission takes them from the bitter northern tundra to the smog-choked capital, their mutual loathing slowly turns to affection, bound by a shared history of alienation and oppression. However, trust can easily turn to betrayal, and as Evike reconnects with her estranged father and discovers her own hidden magic, she and Gaspar need to decide whose side they're on, and what they're willing to give up for a nation that never cared for them at all.

How to Stop Fascism
'For its historical depth, analytical vigour and mobilizational potential, this book is unparalleled ... every page is an urgent invitation to resist' David Lammy MP
'History is a reminder that we are never far from the risk of living under fascism. Mason tells that history with passion and sincerity, framing it perfectly against the present' Angela Saini, author of Superior: The Return of Race Science
The bestselling author of PostCapitalism offers a guide to resisting the far right
The far right is on the rise across the world. From Modi's India to Bolsonaro's Brazil and Erdogan's Turkey, fascism is not a horror that we have left in the past; it is a recurring nightmare that is happening again - and we need to find a better way to fight it.
In How to Stop Fascism, Paul Mason offers a radical, hopeful blueprint for resisting and defeating the new far right. The book is both a chilling portrait of contemporary fascism, and a compelling history of the fascist phenomenon: its psychological roots, political theories and genocidal logic. Fascism, Mason powerfully argues, is a symptom of capitalist failure, one that has haunted us throughout the twentieth century and into the twenty-first.
History shows us the conditions that breed fascism, and how it can be successfully overcome. But it is up to us in the present to challenge it, and time is running out. From the ashes of Covid-19, we have an opportunity to create a fairer, more equal society. To do so, we must ask ourselves: what kind of world do we want to live in? And what are we going to do about it?
Star Wars: Shadow Fall
Alphabet Squadron’s hunt for the deadliest TIE fighters in the galaxy continues in this Star Wars adventure!
News of the New Republic’s victory still reverberates through the galaxy. In its wake, the capital ships of the newly legitimized galactic government journey to the farthest stars, seeking out and crushing the remnants of imperial tyranny. But some old ghosts are harder to banish than others. And none are more dangerous than Shadow Wing.
Yrica Quell’s ragtag Alphabet Squadron still leads the search for Shadow Wing, but they’re no closer to their goal—and the pressure to find their quarry before it’s too late has begun to shake them apart. Determined to finish the fight once and for all, Quell works with New Republic Intelligence’s contentious Caern Adan and the legendary General Hera Syndulla to prepare the riskiest gambit of her starfighting career—a trap for Shadow Wing that could finish the chase once and for all.
But in the darkness, their enemy has evolved. Soran Keize, last of the Imperial aces, has stepped into the power vacuum at the head of Shadow Wing, reinvigorating the faltering unit in their hour of need. Once adrift in the aftershocks of the war, Keize has found meaning again, leading the lost soldiers of his unit through to safety. The only thing standing in his way? The most mismatched squadron in the New Republic Navy, led by his former mentee: the traitor Yrica Quell.

Greed Is Dead
Two of the UK's leading economists call for an end to extreme individualism as the engine of prosperity
Throughout history, successful societies have created institutions which channel both competition and co-operation to achieve complex goals of general benefit. These institutions make the difference between societies that thrive and those paralyzed by discord, the difference between prosperous and poor economies. Such societies are pluralist but their pluralism is disciplined.
Successful societies are also rare and fragile. We could not have built modernity without the exceptional competitive and co-operative instincts of humans, but in recent decades the balance between these instincts has become dangerously skewed: mutuality has been undermined by an extreme individualism which has weakened co-operation and polarized our politics.
Collier and Kay show how a reaffirmation of the values of mutuality could refresh and restore politics, business and the environments in which people live. Politics could reverse the moves to extremism and tribalism; businesses could replace the greed that has degraded corporate culture; the communities and decaying places that are home to many could overcome despondency and again be prosperous and purposeful. As the world emerges from an unprecedented crisis we have the chance to examine society afresh and build a politics beyond individualism.

Chosen Ones
The mesmerising adult debut from Veronica Roth, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Divergent.
They were the Chosen Ones. Saving the world made them heroes. Saving it again might destroy them.
When Sloane Andrews and her friends defeated the Dark One, and saved the world, it nearly cost them everything. Ten years later, they are still struggling to put the battle behind them and reclaim their lives. After all, the rest of the world has moved on . . . so why can't they?
Of the five, Sloane has had the hardest time adjusting. Everyone else blames the PTSD - and her huge attitude problem - but really, she's hiding secrets from them . . . secrets that keep her tied to the past and alienate her from the only four people in the world who understand her.
On the tenth anniversary of the Dark One's defeat, something unthinkable happens: one of the Chosen Ones dies. When the others gather for the funeral, they discover the Dark One's ultimate goal was much bigger than they, the government, or even prophecy could have foretold - bigger than the world itself.
Last time, it took everything she had. This time, it might not be enough.
