Among The Pathans
Excerpt:When Jack Chetwynd dropped into the Bundar Cafe at Delhi one scorching afternoon in September of last year and informed me that we were ordered off to the Punjaub, I could have shouted for joy. I did not do it, though, for I well knew how scornfully Jack would regard any such demonstration. I merely nodded my head, lazily, and went on reading the Post with as much calmness as if such news was a mere every day affair."Yes, my boy," went on Jack, dropping into a chair and ordering a lemon squash, "we are going to have some fun. You know those rascally Pathans killed two or three of our fellows near the frontier station at Oghi some time ago, so an expedition is going up to give them a drubbing for it. It's a deuce of a country, they say, that Black Mountain region, and these Pathans are terrible fellows, too; fight like tigers. Plenty of chance for glory there, Charlie; so prepare yourself!"

Fall of Man in Wilmslow
June 8, 1954. Alan Turing, the visionary mathematician, is found dead at his home in sleepy Wilmslow, dispatched by a poisoned apple. Taking the case, Detective Constable Leonard Corell quickly learns Turing is a convicted homosexual. Confident it's a suicide, he is nonetheless confounded by official secrecy over Turing's war record. What is more, Turing's sexuality appears to be causing alarm among the intelligence services - could he have been blackmailed by Soviet spies? Stumbling across evidence of Turing's genius, and sensing an escape from a narrow life, Corell soon becomes captivated by Turing's brilliant and revolutionary work, and begins to dig deeper. But in the febrile atmosphere of the Cold War, loose cannons cannot be tolerated. As his innocent curiosity takes him far out of his depth, Corell realises he has much to learn about the dangers of forbidden knowledge.

A rémálmok múzsája - Muse of Nightmares
Itt a New York Times bestseller A különös álmodozó – Strange the Dreamer várva-várt folytatása a Nemzeti Könyvdíj-nyertes Laini Taylortól, a Füst és Csont leánya írónőjétől. Szárája hatéves kora óta uralta Könny lakosainak álmait a Rémálmok Múzsájaként. Eddig azt gondolta, hogy már ismer minden szörnyűséget, így többé semmi sem lepheti meg. Ám amikor lezuhant a citadellából, rájött, hogy tévedett. Sem ő, sem szerelme, a jóképű, álmodozó idegen, Lazlo sem lehetett már ugyanaz, mint előtte: egyikük istenné, másikuk szellemmé lett, és így kellett szembenézniük Minja fenyegetésével, aki véres bosszút tervez az alattuk elterülő város lakói ellen. Lazlo lehetetlen döntésre kényszerül – mentse meg a nőt, akit szeret, vagy mindenki mást? –, miközben Szárája reménytelenebbnek érzi magát, mint eddig valaha. És ez még nem minden, ugyanis hirtelen egy új ellenséggel is meg kell küzdeniük, valamint rá kell jönniük, honnan jöttek az istenek,és miért. Mindeközben, ahogy az elfeledett ajtókat kinyitják, új világok tárulnak fel.
