It is a golden age of rediscovery and conquest, and the Emperor’s Great Crusade has placed his superhuman primarch sons at the head of the mighty Space Marine Legions – the most powerful military force ever assembled. Newly promoted to serve as the Emperor’s Warmaster, the idealistic Horus now stands above his brothers, even as the crusade enters what must surely be its final stages and dark, cosmic truths begin to reveal themselves.

No Room at the Morgue


'Manchette was Le Homme...rediscover him this very instant' - James EllroyMeet Eugene Tarpon: ex-cop, ex-idealist, man in free fall. Kicked off the force for killing a protestor, Tarpon is drinking too much and waiting around for something to happen. Then it does. In bursts the wild-eyed and bloodstained Memphis Charles, whose roommate has been brutally murdered. And she wants no one but Tarpon on the case. As the bodies mount, Tarpon is dragged into a Parisian underworld of politics, sleaze, and paranoia – with nothing to guide him but instinct, stubbornness, and a battered sense of justice. With No Room at the Morgue, Manchette rewrote the American hardboiled detective novel into a bleak, boozy, and brilliantly French bruising meditation on guilt, truth, and the art of going down swinging. PRAISE FOR JEAN-PATRICK MANCHETTE'A comedic genius... I read and reread him, stunned, appalled, and laughing out loud' - Rachel Kushner'Manchette is one of the greatest writers since Dashiell Hammett, his only true son and heir' - David Peace'Manchette is Camus on overdrive... He deserves much the same attention' - James Sallis

I Want Everything


‘A delightful literary puzzle, posed to the reader in vibrant and clear-cut prose... It's rare for a writer to be this good both at crafting a sentence and at making you want to read the next one.’ Naoise Dolan, author of Exciting Times and The Happy Couple  ‘Composed with stylistic brilliance and structural ingenuity, I Want Everything is that rare thing, a great contemporary novel... Dominic Amerena is a fantastic writer. (Seriously.)' Lauren Oyler, author of Fake Accounts and No Judgement   You all know this, of course, but years and years ago, acclaimed Australian novelist Brenda Shales went missing. After two explosive, controversial books that would shape the literary canon of the country for decades to come — and that terrible legal scandal about plagiarism, of course — she was simply gone.   That was, right up until a frustrated young writer sees an elderly woman swimming at his local pool in Melbourne. She looks familiar…very familiar in fact. No. It couldn’t be. Stunned, he returns home to confirm the impossible truth; it’s Brenda Shales, now in her old age and stranded in a retirement home. He’s determined to pursue her, to discover what happened to her all those years ago, and to possibly fulfil his dreams of literary stardom through a tell-all biography. But when he finds her, a case of mistaken identity and Brenda’s own terrible secrets begin to derail his ambitions, and ultimately, his entire life. From brilliant debut novelist Dominic Amerena, I Want Everything is a wickedly sharp story of desire and deception, authorship and authenticity, and the devastating costs of creative ambition.

The Rules of Dating a Younger Man - Hogyan randizzunk egy fiatalabb pasival? (Hogyan randizzunk? 4.)


Az első és legfontosabb szabály, amikor egy idősebb nőt szemelsz ki magadnak: ne ess szerelembe! A barátaim közül én voltam az utolsó, aki még nem talált rá az „igazira”. A srácok folyton unszoltak, hogy igyekezzek, és állapodjak meg végre, én azonban nem siettem sehová. Egészen addig, amíg meg nem ismerkedtem valakivel, aki után megérte loholni. Alex egyike volt azoknak az önkénteseknek, akik a Ryan Házaknál dolgoztak – egy alapítványnál, amit azért hoztam létre, hogy a kórházak közelében szállásokat építhessünk a rászorulóknak. Nem is sejtettem, hogy Alex ugyanaz az ember, akivel a projekt útnak indítása előtt haragos e-mail-váltásba bonyolódtam, akkor ugyanis még azt hittem, hogy egy férfival van dolgom. Nem is állhattam volna távolabb az igazságtól, hiszen Alex egy szőke bombázó, aki abban a pillanatban levett a lábamról, amint megpillantottam. A köztünk szikrázó kémia mindent felemésztő volt, Alex pedig egykettőre rabul ejtette a szívem. Sajnálatos módon a fejébe vette, hogy túl fiatal vagyok hozzá. Gyűlöltem, hogy erre hivatkozott, mivel a kor csak egy szám. Ha ez nem lett volna elég, a tekintete nem éppen ugyanazt tükrözte, mint a szavak, amik elhagyták a száját – úgy nézett rám, mint akinek nagyon is tetszik, amit lát. Tűkön ülve vártam a hétvégéket, amikor Alex és én napközben vállt vállnak vetve dolgoztunk, esténként pedig bensőséges hangulatban telepedtünk le a vacsoraasztalhoz. Végül a maga köré húzott falakon lassan megjelentek az első repedések. Csakhogy aztán az élet olyan váratlan akadályt gördített elénk, amin még én magam is kételkedtem, hogy képesek leszünk felülkerekedni. Ha egy pillanatig is az hittem, hogy a köztünk lévő korkülönbség fogja a legnagyobb gubancot okozni, hát tévedtem. „Letehetetlen. A könyv minden pillanatát imádtam!” – Karie, amazon.com Engedd, hogy a kémia döntsön helyetted! Szereted az érzéki, de tartalmas könyveket? Vidd haza nyugodtan, tetszeni fog! Fiatal nőknek, felső korhatár nélkül!
