A könyvlabirintus vándora
1885, Parizs. Aubry Tourvel, a lobbanékony természetű kilencéves kislány az iskolából hazafelé menet egy különös, fából készült labdaféleségre bukkan. Átgurítja a szomszéd udvarba, azonban nemsokára a hátizsákjában találja meg. Újra és újra megpróbál megszabadulni tőle, de a labda valami csoda folytán minduntalan visszakerül hozzá.
Este a vacsoraasztalnál Aubry váratlanul rosszul lesz. Szüleivel elindulnak az orvoshoz, és ahogy egyre távolodnak az otthonuktól, a kislány állapota meglepetésszerűen javulni kezd. Ekkor még nem sejti, hogy ez a kezdete élethosszig tartó vándorlásának. A rejtélyes betegség ugyanis nem engedi, hogy néhány napnál tovább megmaradjon bárhol is, vagy visszatérjen azokra a helyekre, ahol korábban már járt.
A Szahara dűnéitől a Himalája hófödte csúcsain át a dzsungelig, egy párizsi udvar feneketlen kútjától egy végtelen föld alatti könyvtárig követjük Aubry magányos bolyongását, miközben próbál végre otthonra találni. De minél messzebbre jut, és minél kétségbeesettebben próbál kapcsolódni másokhoz, annál inkább ráébred arra, hogy nem a cél, hanem az út tesz minket azzá, akik vagyunk.

Nebezpečná zámena
Posledný vydesený výkrik a v nasledujúcej sekunde sa všetko okolo nej rozkrútilo. Koč sa s ňou kotúľal, kým neprišiel zničujúci náraz, ktorý rozmetal jej myšlienky a otriasol ňou až do špiku kostí. Potom prišla bolesť a ľadová voda. A keď všetky pocity zmizli, načiahla sa za ňou ruka a vzápätí ju obklopila tma...
Uprostred ničivej búrky sa koč s tromi cestujúcimi – sirom Johnom Mayfieldom, lady Mariannou Mayfieldovou a jej spoločníčkou – zrúti z útesu a navždy zmení ich osudy. V koči napokon nájdu iba dve osoby – vážne zraneného sira Johna a ženu so vzácnym prsteňom na ruke, ktorá je v bezvedomí.
Zachránená sa preberie v neznámom dome a zápasí s útržkovitými spomienkami na nehodu, so znepokojujúcimi snami o dieťati, ktoré sa ocitlo v ohrození, a s tajomstvom skrytom v prsteni na svojej ruke. Obklopená neznámymi tvárami a prenasledovaná zlou predtuchou si zrazu uvedomí, že nemôže veriť vôbec nikomu a že musí odhaliť pravdu o tom, čo sa stalo počas tej búrlivej noci, hoci nebezpečenstvo rastie a nepriatelia sa sprisahali proti nej.

Hat nap múlva telihold
Ken Follett, az izgalmas meseszövés mestere, most is a II. világháború napjait idéző, váratlan fordulatokban gazdag regénnyel ajándékozta meg rajongóit. Az Angol Királyi Légierő bombázói több hullámban támadják a kontinenst, ám a Luftwaffe könnyűszerrel megsemmisíti őket. Úgy látszik, hogy a szárazföldön és levegőben egyaránt Adolf Hitler irányítja az eseményeket.
Ám az Északi-tenger egyik apró dán szigetén egy Harald Olufsen nevű, tizennyolc éves tehetséges ifjú, a gépek és a motorok megszállottja jártában-keltében belebotlik egy titokzatos német gyártmányú szerkezetbe, melyhez foghatót soha nem látott még. Érzi, értesíteni kellene erről valakit, de nem tudja, kit. Anglia történelmének legnagyobb légitámadását készíti elő a németek ellen. Harald felfedezése megfordíthatja a háború kimenetelét, ám a fiú igyekezete, hogy mielőbb eljuttassa az illetékesekhez a sorsdöntő információt a felfedezéséről, a hozzá közel álló embereket is veszélybe sodorhatja. Feltartóztathatatlanul közeledik az angol légitámadás napja, ezért mind sürgetőbbé válik a feladat, hogy Harald barátnője, Karen segítségével üzenetet juttasson el Angliába. Erre a célra egyetlen eszközt találnak: Karen apjának Lódarázs típusú repülőgépét, amely olyan rossz állapotban van, hogy senki sem hinné róla, valaha is képes lesz a felszállásra. Amikor végre a levegőbe emelkednek a helyrepofozott repülőgéppel, fogalmuk sincs, hogyan élik túl a hatszáz mérföldnyi repülőutat, de abban bizonyosak, hogy ők viszik magukkal az Angliát fenyegető katasztrófa elhárításának egyetlen lehetőségét, a túlélés reményét. A regény alapötlete valós eseményen alapul: két dán fiatal átrepülte a II. világháborúban az Északi-tengert, és a német Freya-akció tervét eljuttatta az angoloknak.
