Megszállás
A sci-fi magyar klasszikusa új regényében azt feszegeti: mi lenne, ha a Földet napjainkban Idegenek szállnák meg? Olyan könyörtelen, vérszomjas hódítók, akik miután lerabolták saját bolygójukat valahol az Univerzumban, most a földi vízre, levegőre és aranyunkra vetnek szemet, hogy ezek segítségével regenerálják otthonukat. A hódítók egyetlen nap alatt megszállják az egész Földet, elvágják az áram- és energiaforrásokat. A Föld lakosságának egy részét kiirtják és megkezdik a sajátos zsákmány begyűjtését. Fogy a levegőnk, a vizünk, és semmit sem tehetünk, hogy megvédjük magunkat? Úgy, hogy megszakadt a kapcsolat az országok, a földrészek, a szervezetek és intézmények között, az emberek magukra maradva néznek szembe az éhséggel, betegségekkel, a kipusztulás nagyon is valós rémképével? A regény lapjain megelevenednek a mai politikai szereplők, látjuk, hogyan reagál az amerikai elnök, a német kancellárasszony, a francia elnök. De felbukkannak egyszerű, ám hősies nők és férfiak mind az öt világrészben, ők próbálnak tenni valamit a megszállók ellen, akiknek vannak aljas földi segítőik is. Lehet, hogy a világűrben akadnak barátai a Földnek? Onnan is érkezik segítség? A könyv egyik főszereplője Greg, a fiatal, zseniális fizikus, aki egy titokzatos nő segítségével hetek alatt megalkotja a proton-fegyvert. Ez az emberiség egyetlen reménye: ha bevetik az Idegenek ellen, talán megmenekül a Föld és világunk megszabadul a kozmikus rablóktól?

Foreign Bodies
Cities and countries engulfed by panic and death, desperate for vaccines but fearful of what inoculation may bring. This is what the world has just gone through with Covid-19. But as Simon Schama shows in his epic history of vulnerable humanity caught between the terror of contagion and the ingenuity of science, it has happened before.
Characteristically, with Schama the message is delivered through gripping, page-turning stories set in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries: smallpox strikes London; cholera hits Paris; plague comes to India. Threading through the scenes of terror, suffering and hope - in hospitals and prisons, palaces and slums - are an unforgettable cast of characters: a philosopher-playwright burning up with smallpox in a country chateau; a vaccinating doctor paying house calls in Halifax; a woman doctor in south India driving her inoculator-carriage through the stricken streets as dead monkeys drop from the trees. But we are also in the labs when great, life-saving breakthroughs happen, in Paris, Hong Kong and Mumbai.
At the heart of it all, an unsung hero: Waldemar Haffkine. A gun-toting Jewish student in Odesa turned microbiologist at the Pasteur Institute, hailed in England as 'the saviour of mankind' for vaccinating millions against cholera and bubonic plague in British India while being cold-shouldered by the medical establishment of the Raj. Creator of the world's first mass production line of vaccines in Mumbai he is tragically brought down in an act of shocking injustice.
Foreign Bodies crosses borders between east and west, Asia and Europe, the worlds of rich and poor, politics and science. Its thrilling story carries with it the credo of its author on the interconnectedness of humanity and nature; of the powerful and the people. Ultimately, Schama says, as we face the challenges of our times together, 'there are no foreigners, only familiars'.

Take Me Home Tonight
Ferris Bueller’s Day Off meets Nick and Nora’s Infinite Playlist in this romp through the city that never sleeps from the New York Times bestselling author of Since You’ve Been Gone.
Two girls. One night. Zero phones.
Kat and Stevie—best friends, theater kids, polar opposites—have snuck away from the suburbs to spend a night in New York City. They have it all planned out. They’ll see a play, eat at the city’s hottest restaurant, and have the best. Night. Ever. What could go wrong?
Well. Kind of a lot?
They’re barely off the train before they’re dealing with destroyed phones, family drama, and unexpected Pomeranians. Over the next few hours, they’ll have to grapple with old flames, terrible theater, and unhelpful cab drivers. But there are also cute boys to kiss, parties to crash, dry cleaning to deliver (don’t ask), and the world’s best museum to explore.
Over the course of a wild night in the city that never sleeps, both Kat and Stevie will get a wake-up call about their friendship, their choices…and finally discover what they really want for their future.
That is, assuming they can make it to Grand Central before the clock strikes midnight.
Philip: The Final Portrait
This is the story of Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh - the longest-serving consort to the longest-reigning sovereign in British history. It is an extraordinary story, told with unique insight and authority by an author who knew the prince for more than forty years.
Philip - elusive, complex, controversial, challenging, often humorous, sometimes irascible - is the man Elizabeth II once described as her 'constant strength and guide'. Who was he? What was he really like? What is the truth about those 'gaffes' and the rumours of affairs? This is the final portrait of an unexpected and often much-misunderstood figure. It is also the portrait of a remarkable marriage that endured for more than seventy years.
Philip and Elizabeth were both royal by birth, both great-great-grandchildren of Queen Victoria, but, in temperament and upbringing, they were two very different people. The Queen's childhood was loving and secure, the Duke's was turbulent; his grandfather assassinated, his father arrested, his family exiled, his parents separated when he was only ten. Elizabeth and Philip met as cousins in the 1930s. They married in 1947, aged twenty-one and twenty-six.
Philip: The Final Portrait tells the story of two contrasting lives, assesses the Duke of Edinburgh's character and achievement, and explores the nature of his relationships with his wife, his children and their families - and with the press and public and those at court who were suspicious of him in the early days. This is a powerful, revealing and, ultimately, moving account of a long life and a remarkable royal partnership.
