Wild Fire
A group of Vietnam Vets who still keep in touch: the Custer Hill Club. They are prepared to attack foreign countries if America is attacked and their current rule is that if an Islamic country attacks America, then all Islamic countries will be nuked - thus deterring Korea, China or other countries having similar ideas against the US. The Custer Hill Club gets more ambitious and aggressive. The men decide to choose an American city to attack themselves, pretending it is an Islamic terrorist attack (either San Francisco or LA, the reader won’t know) in order for them to be able to nuke Mecca, the Aswan Dam and many other places. America will rule the world!

'Her Cromwell novels are, for my money, the greatest English novels of this century' Observer
'If you cannot speak truth at a beheading, when can you speak it?'
England, May 1536. Anne Boleyn is dead, decapitated in the space of a heartbeat by a hired French executioner. As her remains are bundled into oblivion, Thomas Cromwell breakfasts with the victors. The blacksmith's son from Putney emerges from the spring's bloodbath to continue his climb to power and wealth, while his formidable master, Henry VIII, settles to short-lived happiness with his third queen, Jane Seymour.
Cromwell is a man with only his wits to rely on; he has no great family to back him, no private army. Despite rebellion at home, traitors plotting abroad and the threat of invasion testing Henry's regime to breaking point, Cromwell's robust imagination sees a new country in the mirror of the future. But can a nation, or a person, shed the past like a skin? Do the dead continually unbury themselves? What will you do, the Spanish ambassador asks Cromwell, when the king turns on you, as sooner or later he turns on everyone close to him?
With The Mirror and the Light, Hilary Mantel brings to a triumphant close the trilogy she began with Wolf Hall and Bring Up the Bodies. She traces the final years of Thomas Cromwell, the boy from nowhere who climbs to the heights of power, offering a defining portrait of predator and prey, of a ferocious contest between present and past, between royal will and a common man's vision: of a modern nation making itself through conflict, passion and courage.
Harry Potter and the Sorcerers Stone
"This special edition of "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone" has a gorgeous new cover illustration by Kazu Kibuishi. Inside is the full text of the original novel, with decorations by Mary GrandPre. "Harry Potter has never been the star of a Quidditch team, scoring points while riding a broom far above the ground. He knows no spells, has never helped to hatch a dragon, and has never worn a cloak of invisibility. All he knows is a miserable life with the Dursleys, his horrible aunt and uncle, and their abominable son, Dudley -- a great big swollen spoiled bully. Harry's room is a tiny closet at the foot of the stairs, and he hasn't had a birthday party in eleven years. But all that is about to change when a mysterious letter arrives by owl messenger: a letter with an invitation to an incredible place that Harry -- and anyone who reads about him -- will find unforgettable. For it's there that he finds not only friends, aerial sports, and magic in everything from classes to meals, but a great destiny that's been waiting for him... if Harry can survive the encounter.

Thief of Time
Time is a resource. Everyone knows it has to be managed. And on the Discworld that is the job of the Monks of History, who store it and pump it from the places where it's wasted (like the underwater - how much time does a codfish need?) to places like cities, where there's never enough time. But the construction of the world's first truly accurate clock starts a race against, well, time for Lu Tze and his apprentice Lobsang Ludd. Because it will stop time. And that will only be the start of everyone's problems.

Neither Here Nor There: Travels in Europe
In Neither Here nor There" Bill Bryson brings his unique brand of humour to bear on Europe as he shoulders his backpack, keeps a tight hold on his wallet, and journeys from Hammerfest, the northernmost town on the continent, to Istanbul on the cusp of Asia. Fluent in, oh, at least one language, he retraces his travels as a student 20 years before. Whether braving the homicidal motorists of Paris, being robbed by gypsies in Florence, attempting not to order tripe and eyeballs in a German restaurant, window-shopping in the sex shops of the Reeperbahn or disputing his hotel bill in Copenhagen, Bryson takes in the sights, dissects the culture and illuminates each place and person with his hilariously caustic observations. He even goes to Liechtenstein."

Malevich
Kazimir Malevich (1878 - 1935) was a painter and a great art theorist but first and foremost he was the founder of Suprematism (pure abstraction), a style based on geometrical forms. "Suprematism," he wrote, "has led me to discover something that had not been understood until then??? there is in human consciousness an imperious desire of space and the will to escape from Earth." This new publication presents the brilliant works of Malevich, the original painter, who until the age of twentyseven had no professional background as a painter, and who learned to draw out of curiosity and out of his will to learn. Gerry Souter once more offers us the works of a brilliant artist as well as a new perspective on the artist's personality.

Nepopiratelné - Evoluce a věda o stvoření světa
Bill Nye vede kampaň proti vědeckým nedostatkům kreacionismu, která nedávno nabyla nových rozměrů a podobá se křížové výpravě. Rozbuškou byl loni na podzim jeho provokativní komentář na BigThink.com, který měl za následek kontroverzní výměnu názorů s kurátorem Muzea stvoření Kenem Hamem. V této knize Nye dále rozvíjí své argumenty a tvrdí, že tato debata není ani tolik střetem vědy a náboženství, jako spíše diskusí o povaze vědy jako takové. S nakažlivým entusiasmem nám přibližuje podstatu evoluční teorie a vysvětluje, že je založená na ověřitelných faktech a že je tedy rozumným vysvětlením našich počátků. S velkým zápalem trvá na tom, že tvrdit, že kreacionismus má své místo ve vyučování přírodovědy, škodí nejen dětem, ale také budoucnosti celého světa.
