The Secret History of the Five Eyes
The Secret History of The Five Eyes: The untold story of the international spy network, is a riveting and exclusive narrative of the most powerful and least understood intelligence alliance, which has been steeped in secrecy since its formation in 1956.
Richard Kerbaj, an award-winning investigative journalist and filmmaker, bypasses the usual censorship channels to tell the definitive account of authoritative but unauthorised stories of the Western world's most powerful but least known intelligence alliance made up of the US, Britain, Australia, Canada, and New Zealand. As Kerbaj shows, spy stories are never better than when they are true - and these span from 1930s Nazi spy rings to the most recent developments in Ukraine and China.
Through personal interviews with world leaders - including British Prime Ministers Theresa May and David Cameron - and more than 100 intelligence officials, this book explores the complex personalities who helped shape the Five Eyes. They include a Scotland Yard detective who became a spymaster and inspired the first exchanges between MI5 and the FBI. An American home economics teacher who helped create one of the most effective programmes to counter Soviet espionage. The CIA's lone officer in Budapest during the Hungarian Revolution. GCHQ's chief during the Edward Snowden intelligence leak. And the Australian politician turned diplomat whose tip-off to the FBI instigated the inquiry into Russia's meddling in the US presidential contest between Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton in 2016.
Richard Kerbaj is able to draw from deep inside the secret corridors of power and his unparalleled access spans all 5 countries. Some of the people he has interviewed include former GCHQ director Sir Iain Lobban, CIA director General David Petraeus, MI5 director-general Eliza Manningham-Buller, NSA director Admiral Mike Rogers, British National Security Advisor Kim Darroch, ASIO chief Mike Burgess, the Canadian Security Intelligence Service's chief Richard Fadden, and Ciaran Martin, the official who oversaw Britain's assessments on whether the Chinese telecoms firm, Huawei, should have had a role in the creation of the UK's 5G network.
This page-turning book will lift the lid on spy stories from across the English-speaking world, question the future of the alliance, and our place within it.

Wir berichten von der Amundsen-See in der Antarktis. Hinter mir bricht gerade eine ungeheure Eismasse vom Festland ab. Dies ist eine Umweltkatastrophe, wie wir sie bisher -Abrupt bricht die Journalistin Grace Logan ihren Bericht ab, als ein riesiger Lichtball über dem Schelfeis aufsteigt. Er strahlt und pulsiert. Grace und die Besatzung des Forschungsschiffes sind ratlos. Und dann führt ein Anruf sie zu einem Kloster in der Wüste Sinai, wo ein Mönch in Trance seit Wochen das Himmelszeichen an die Wände malt.

Lacná kniha The Soft Machine (-70%)
Book one in Burroughs’ surreal, anarchic ‘Cut-Up Trilogy’.Hanged soldiers, North African street urchins, addicted narcotics agents, Spanish rent boys, evil doctors, corrupt judges and monsters from the mythology of history or the laboratories of science – Burroughs is truly the Hieronymous Bosch of our time. In this surreal, savage and brilliantly funny novel, Burroughs’ famous ‘cut-up’ technique, the slicing and random folding in of words, was fully developed, transforming the narrative into an extraordinary, unequalled new form of prose poetry.

Worms Of the Earth
Bran Mak Morn, King of the Picts, vows revenge on the Roman governor Titus Sulla after witnessing the crucifixion of a fellow Pict. He seeks forbidden aid from the Worms of the Earth, a race of creatures who were once men but after generations of living underground have become monstrous and semi-reptilian. He secures their help after stealing a religious item of theirs from a barrow, trading it back in return for them delivering Sulla to him for a battle to the death. However, Sulla's mind is broken from his contact with the horrific Worms of the Earth and Bran Mak Morn slays him in mercy rather than vengeance, realising that some weapons are too foul to use, even against Rome.

Tá bolesť ťa prejde
Červené svetlá, džez, drinky a dvaja ľudia, ktorých k sebe pritiahla nevysvetliteľná sila a spojilo tajomstvo s fatálnymi následkami. Kto je ona a kto je on?
Ich puto nemá obdoby, no speje k bodu, pred ktorým by mal každý zutekať. V tejto novele však Mia Žureková nesmierne citlivo, občas kruto cynicky, no najmä veľmi ľudsky ukazuje, že kto nechce zažiť bolesti priateľstva, nemá právo ani na jeho radosti.
V denníkových zápiskoch vo forme listov okamžite strhne čitateľa do silného prúdu málo viditeľných vychýlení duše, tela, vzťahov i spoločnosti, v ktorej dnes žijeme a pre ktorú je skratka LGBT niekedy ešte stále tabu.

Steve Miller Band - J50: The Evolution of The Joker (Deluxe Edition) 2CD
Steve Miller Band je americká rocková skupina založená v roku 1966 v San Franciscu v Kalifornii. Skupinu vedie Steve Miller na gitare a speve. Skupina mala sériu hitových singlov z polovice až konca 70. rokov, ktoré sú základom klasického rocku, ako aj niekoľko skorších psychedelických rockových albumov. Miller opustil svoju prvú kapelu a presťahoval sa do San Francisca a založil Steve Miller Blues Band. Krátko po tom, čo Harvey Kornspan v roku 1967 vyjednal zmluvu s Capitol Records, skupina skrátila svoj názov na Steve Miller Band. Vo februári 1968 kapela nahrala svoj debutový album Children of the Future. Pokračovala produkcia albumov Sailor, Brave New World, Your Saving Grace, Number 5, Rock Love, Fly Like an Eagle, Book of Dreams a iných. Najväčšie hity kapely 1974–78, ktoré vyšli v roku 1978, sa predalo viac ako 13 miliónov kópií. V roku 2016 bol Steve Miller uvedený ako sólový umelec do Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
„The Joker“ je ôsmy štúdiový album nahraný a vydaný Capitol Records v októbri 1973. Album znamenal pre skupinu obdobie významnej zmeny, keď sa skupina vzdala svojej psychedelicky orientovanej hudby pre melodickejší, hladší rock/blues zvuk. Bol to tiež ich prvý solídny komerčný úspech vďaka silnej rozhlasovej hre titulnej skladby. Album sa dostal na 2. miesto v rebríčku Billboard Top LPs & Tape a v USA získal platinovú platňu. 8. januára 1974 sa dostal na prvé miesto v rebríčku Cash Box Albums Charts. Deluxe verzia vydaná k päťdesiatim rokom výročia albumu.

Pink Floyd - The Dark Side Of The Moon (50th Anniversary) CD
KDO: Pink Floyd jsou nepochybně jednou z nejzásadnějších skupin hudební historie. Jejich experimentální rocková muzika ovlivnila miliony posluchačů a inspirovala několik generací hudebníků. Vždy je zdobil progresivní přístup při hledání nových možností, kladli důraz na koncepční propojení zvuku s obrazem. Měli jedinečné nápady a pořádali originální výpravné koncerty. Od roku 1964, kdy vznikli, natočili patnáct studiových alb. Těžko hledat slavnější art-rockovou skupinu!
CO: Legendární album z roku 1973 se u příležitosti padesátého výročí vydání dočkalo opulentní reedice. Nově zremasterovaná nahrávka nyní vychází také na LP, CD a rovněž v audio podobách Dolby Atmos a 5.1 Surround mix na Blu-ray.
