Galejnická extraliga


Strhující dystopický román o zvráceném vězeňském systému, který se zase tolik neliší od toho amerického Loretta Thurwar a Hamara Stacker alias Staxxx jsou hvězdy Galejnické extraligy, základního kamene nesmírně populárního a krajně kontroverzního výdělečného Trestaneckého estrádního programu (TEP). Je to návrat gladiátorů a vězni bojují o nejvyšší cenu ze všech — osobní svobodu. V rámci TEPu vězni, rozdělení do galejnických part, cestují a zápasí spolu na život a na smrt před natřískanými stadiony, zatímco venku protestují mravně uvědomělí demonstranti. Thurwarku a Staxxx, členky stejného týmu a zároveň milenky, má publikum nejradši. A pokud všechno dobře dopadne, Thurwarku čeká už jen několik zápasů a bude volná, což je pro ni břemeno stejně těžké jako její smrtonosné kladivo. Pomalu se chystá na rozlučku se svými parťáky a uvažuje, jak by jim navzdory tomuto takzvanému sportu mohla pomoct uchovat si lidskost. Jenže korporátní vlastníci TEPu se pro udržení stávajících poměrů a divácké atraktivity zápasů nezastaví před ničím, a tak další překážky, které kladou Thurwarce do cesty, mají ničivý dopad.

During the 20th Century, Scotland Yard detectives and their uniform counterparts, rarely armed, needed to be physically tough and brave given the ruthless criminals they confronted.In this thrilling book the Author draws on his and his comrades’ experiences. Among the incidents vividly described is that of a detective known as ‘Pat the Cat’ who was awarded British Empire Medal for Gallantry and Bar after being shot on one occasion, surviving a fusillade of bullets from a escape convict on another and, four years later, being severely injured thwarting an armed robbery.We learn of police officers, who despite being shot, went onto arrest the gunmen and the Flying Squad officer who dismantled an IRA bomb, primed to detonate outside Scotland Yard.PC Reggie Grose won his George Medal rescuing a group trapped in a building during the Blitz. After wartime service with No. 3 Commando he returned to undercover duties with the secretive Ghost Squad. Detective Sergeant Ryland only survived by sticking his thumb between the hammer of his assailant’s gun and the bullet’s percussion cap. Two officers tackled a mentally ill axe-man 50 feet above street level warding off his attack with a bin lid. An army deserter shot and wounded Police Dog Rex III before fire at a detective, who flattened him with his truncheon.These and many more tales of outstanding bravery await the reader in the pages of Scotland Yard’s Bravest and Best.

A Complicated Woman


''An oracle for women'' DOLLY ALDERTONSometimes when I drink wine out of a globulous glass with the thinnest of rims, blocking out the fact it''s billed at L14 a pop, I think of baby Becky.Hair so blonde it''s neon white, cheeks so chubby you can''t see her eyes. What must she think right now? She must think she made it.We''re a great big adult person.That was always the plan, right?In her extraordinary debut, with her trademark lyricism and razor-sharp wit, Ivor Novello Award-winning musician and artist Rebecca Lucy Taylor (aka SELF ESTEEM) takes us on a journey through womanhood - whatever the hell that means.Through the notes, lyrics and biting observational prose for which Taylor has become renowned, A Complicated Woman offers itself up as a subversive anti-Bible for any woman who has ever cracked under the weight of impossible expectation; who has done unto others the damage that has been wrought upon her; and who has discovered deep within herself a resilience that surprised her.A Complicated Woman is a cathartic scream of a book that gets to the heart of being a woman in the world today, and cements Taylor as one of the most exciting voices of her generation.

The Roman Empire and World History


How do we fit the Roman Empire into world history? Too often the empire has simply been conceived of in terms of the West. But Rome was too big to be squeezed into a purely European model; her empire bestrode three continents. Peter Fibiger Bang develops a radical new world history framework for the Roman Empire, presenting it as part of an Afro-Eurasian arena of grand empires that dominated the shape of history before the forces of globalization and industrialization made the world centre on Europe from the eighteenth century onwards. It was a world before East and West. The book traces surprising cultural connections and societal similarities between Rome and the other vast empires of Afro-Eurasia. Whether we look at war-making, slavery, empire formation, literary culture or intercontinental trade and rebellion, Rome is best approached in its Afro-Eurasian context.
