The Exchange
***THE BIGGEST GRISHAM IN OVER A DECADE***
The Exchange is John Grisham's epic follow-up to his phenomenal global bestseller The Firm, the novel that launched his career as the world's favourite storyteller - it will take you on a rollercoaster journey across the globe, from New York to London, and Rome to Marrakech.
TEN DAYS TO SAVE A LIFE. ONE SECOND TO END IT.
Mitch McDeere has cheated death and come out the other side. Fifteen years ago, he stole $10 million from the mob and disappeared. Now, with his enemies jailed or dead, he has fought his way to the top of the biggest law firm in the world.
When a new case takes Mitch to Libya, danger awaits: he's soon in the biggest hostage negotiation in recent history with terrorists who have murdered and will murder again. Their demand is staggering: a ransom of $100 million must be paid within 10 days.
But this isn't a random kidnapping - it's personal. And no one, not even Mitch's wife in New York, is safe.
With the clock ticking, can Mitch stay one step ahead of his enemies?
This time, there's nowhere to hide.

While Momo believes in spirits, she thinks aliens are nothing but nonsense. Her new friend, meanwhile, thinks the exact opposite. To settle matters, the two set out to prove each other wrong—Momo to a UFO hotspot and Okarun to a haunted tunnel!

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.

Mexican Gothic
The acclaimed author of Gods of Jade and Shadow returns with a mesmerising feminist re-imagining of Gothic fantasy, in which a young socialite discovers the haunting secrets of a beautiful old mansion in 1950s Mexico.
He is trying to poison me. You must come for me, Noemi. You have to save me.
When glamorous socialite Noemi Taboada receives a frantic letter from her newlywed cousin begging to be rescued from a mysterious doom, it's clear something is desperately amiss. Catalina has always had a flair for the dramatic, but her claims that her husband is poisoning her and her visions of restless ghosts seem remarkable, even for her.
Noemi's more suited to cocktail parties than amateur sleuthing, but she heads immediately to High Place, a remote mansion in the Mexican countryside, determined to discover what is so affecting her cousin. She's tough and smart, with an indomitable will, and she is not afraid: not of her cousin's new husband, who is both menacing and alluring; not of his father, the ancient patriarch who is fascinated by Noemi; and not of the house itself, which begins to invade Noemi's dreams with visions of blood and doom.
Her only ally in this inhospitable abode is the family's youngest son. Shy and gentle, he wants to help - but he might also be hiding dark knowledge of his family's past. For there are many secrets behind the walls of High Place. The family's once colossal wealth and faded mining empire kept them from prying eyes, but as Noemi digs deeper she unearths stories of violence and madness.
And Noemi, mesmerised by the terrifying yet seductive world of High Place, may soon find it impossible to leave this enigmatic house behind . .

Nepál – cesta okolo Annapúrn, cesta do seba
Autor v knihe popisuje svoje dvojtýždňové kráčanie okolo Annapúrn (áno, to množné číslo je správne, Annapúrn je šesť, nie je len jedna), cestu k jazeru Tilicho (4919 m), ako aj prekročenie najvyššie položeného priesmyku sveta, Thorong La pass (5416 m).
Nepálsky trek "Annapurna Circuit" je ako európska púť do Santiago de Compostela - očistný, liečivý, zastavujúci. V samotnom srdci Himaláji vám krása veľhôr a nedostatok kyslíka nedá až tak plnohodnotne dýchať, ale o to viac vám duša zaspieva blaženosťou.
V knihe nechýbajú ani pocity z pobytu v hlavnom meste Káthmandu, alebo v národnom parku Chitwan na juhu Nepálu. Kniha obsahuje viac ako 400 farebných autorských fotografií.
Autor o knihe:
"Už som bol v mnohých krajinách. Veľa som videl... biedy aj bohatstva, pýchy i pokory, od priepastí až po vrchy, končiace sa v slnku. Boli podmanivo čarokrásne. Ak by som sa však spýtal srdca, či ich chce ešte raz vidieť, pri niektorých by odvetilo nie. Vyslovte však Nepál a ja som ochotný hneď zajtra odletieť. Nepál sa totiž pre mňa stal adresou na celý život." Pavel "Hirax" Baričák
