Maratonská zeď


Když se na pražském maratonu zhroutí německý běžec a zemře na podivné bodnutí do stehna, kapitán Lenz netuší, že ho čeká jeden z nejzapeklitějších případů kariéry. Byla to nešťastná náhoda, sebevražda, nebo chladnokrevný zločin? Vyšetřování komplikuje řada více i méně nepředvídatelných okolností: oslabení týmu, rodinné povinnosti i nedořešený vztah s půvabnou kolegyní. Práce u kriminálky je jako závod – a tentokrát je Lenz možná až příliš daleko od cílové rovinky.

Too Near the Sun


Roman Britain. Midsummer AD 371. Two years have passed since the traumatic invasions of the Barbarica Conspiratio were finally suppressed. But in a Britannia still suffering sporadic raids by barbarians from beyond the frontiers there is said to exist a scroll listing the names of influential men – and women – plotting to secede from the Empire and use the taxes saved to boost the island’s defences. And where: Claudius Caninus (Canio) has unwisely disclosed that he dreamt he is the grandson of the long-dead usurper emperor Allectus, although he is still unsure whether he actually believes the dream. Aelia Aureliana is the owner of one of the finest villas in the province, a worshipper of the sun god Helios/Sol, and mysteriously certain that Canio really is Allectus’s grandson – but will not tell him why. Tribunus Maximus, an army officer, suspects that Aelia knows the location of the scroll and is blackmailing Canio to find it for him. But to do so Canio must get close to Aelia, and the closer he gets the more he falls under the spell of both the woman and her ambitions.

Humeccan


A collection of short stories exposing human nature as mechanistic. The backdrop of our evolution is first painted via a quixotic character’s mission to alert his neighbourhood to coming doom. Two stories then follow different trajectories from the same inflection point of our shifting culture. One has doom averted, another careers towards the prophesied doom. Intimate tales follow, evoking both unseemly and more humane aspects of our nature. The central story, the dark heart, turns, presenting pathological behaviours as seen from the gene’s eye view and as resulting from forces that created us to be the gene-serving ape-machines we are. Further elaborating stories lead deeper into our psychology, dissecting the assumptions we make about ourselves and others. Projections are reflected back. We are challenged to justify our beliefs, and to confront a seemingly bleak view: that of a deterministic universe in which we evolved not for our wellbeing, but to propagate immortal genes. The final story in the collection imagines a future in which an evolved culture helps us live better with our evolved natures. Mechanical devices and scientific concepts are embraced in story titles, anchoring the narratives in the mechanistic character of human nature. The natural world reverberates throughout what is, ultimately, a humane vision.
