The EVOL Algorithm


THE EVOL ALGORITHM by K. M. MOKETHIS IS NOT A DYSTOPIA. IT'S A UTOPIA IN THE MAKING. Matargo and the other children live in paradise, under the watchful eye of their mechs. Until the day they Float. No one talks about what happens after you Float. Or what exactly the giant black sphere of nothingness above them is. Why would they? They've never known a day of fear or suspicion in their lives. Like lambs. Awaiting slaughter. Book One in The EVOL Trilogy. "EVOL is one of the most original, ingenious and intriguing science fiction stories that I have read for a while. In these days of rampant AI and all the attendant worries and alarms that this overwhelming gift or curse is bringing to all humanity, it is comforting and exciting to encounter a story where the developing relationship between an AI and a young human is at the tremulous core of the story."- David Fickling (Editor and publisher of Philip Pullman)

Pět kajícných


Neoficiální agent Winter se hodlá vypořádat s dobře organizovaným zlem, kterému se daří nejen v podsvětí pochybných podniků, drogových dealerů a pasáků, ale i nebezpečně blízko našim každodenním životům. Při pátrání po zmizelé sotva patnáctileté studentce Pavle se ocitá ve spirále násilí, v prostředí, kde platí zákony mnohem tvrdší než staré dobré „zub za zub, oko za oko“. Podaří se mu Pavlu najít živou? Přežije sám proti brutální přesile? A kde leží hranice mezi spravedlností a osobní mstou? Ať už ale Wintr lavíruje nad jakoukoli propastí, nikdy ho neopouští jeho břitký jazyk – dar i prokletí, které mu přináší převahu i komplikace v těch nejméně vhodných chvílích. 5 kajícných je neortodoxní detektivka, temná, provokativní, plná intelektuálních hříček a ledově mrazivého humoru, balancující na hraně absurdity. Od první stránky udržuje čtenáře v napětí a zároveň ho nutí přemýšlet, zda lze temnotu porazit, aniž by se jí člověk sám ušpinil.

The Mobius Book


The sudden, devastating breakup of a relationship in the winter of 2021 left Catherine Lacey depressed and adrift. She began cataloguing the wreckage of her life and the beauty of her friendships, a process that led to the writing of fiction that was both entirely imagined and strangely, utterly true. She soon realised that she was writing about her relationship with faith. Betrayed by the mercurial partner she had trusted and suddenly catapulted into the unknown, Lacey's appetite vanished completely, a visceral reminder of the teenage emaciation that followed the ending of her belief in God. Bending form, both she and her fictional characters recall gnostic experiences with animals, close encounters with male anger, grief-driven lust and the redemptive power of platonic love and narrative itself. A hybrid work that is both non-fiction and fiction with no beginning and no ending, The Möbius Book troubles the line between memory and imagination with an open-hearted defence of faith's inherent danger.
