The Many Ghosts of Donahue Byrnes


Not all guests know when to check out . . . A young waitress at a country hotel finds herself with a decades' old mystery to solve - one she hopes will help rid the hotel of its most troublesome guests. Its ghosts. *** When Ballinadrum Hotel's elderly owner Donahue Byrnes dies, twenty-two-year-old Mia Anne Moran discovers the spectral rumours that have long plagued the place are all too true. Meanwhile, Donahue's son, Cormac, wants to sell up as soon as possible but finds his plans thwarted by the ghostly goings on. Propelled by the belief that Donahue Byrnes intended to entrust her with the task, Mia strikes a deal with Cormac. She will act as concierge to the dead - keeping the hotel's ghosts in line, as Donahue did previously - and in return, Cormac will sell the business in its entirety, ensuring the future of both the building and its employees. But what drew Mia's errant charges to Ballinadrum Hotel in the first place? If she can work out that, she might be able to send them on their way at last. Life is rarely straightforward though - especially when it involves the dead - and as Mia tries to solve the hotel's ghostly conundrum, she begins to find hers changed in ways she couldn't have anticipated . . .

Povedená historka


Daphne vždycky milovala způsob, jakým její snoubenec Peter vyprávěl příběh jejich seznámení. Jak se potkali, zamilovali a odstěhovali do Petrova rodného města, aby tam začali společný život. Peter ten příběh vyprávěl, jako když bičem mrská… tedy až do chvíle, kdy si uvědomil, že ve skutečnosti miluje svou nejlepší kamarádku z dětství Petru. A tak Daphne začíná nový příběh: uvízla v krásném michiganském městečku Waning Bay, bez přátel i bez rodiny, zato s vysněnou, i když špatně placenou prací knihovnice. Daphne skončí jako spolubydlící jediného člověka, který dokáže skutečně pochopit ošemetnost její situace: Petřina expřítele, Milese Nowaka. Zarostlý, neorganizovaný Miles, který se občas vyžívá v samotářství a má zálibu v srdcervoucích baladách, je přesným opakem praktické a trochu upjaté Daphne. Jeden druhému se vyhýbají, až jednoho dne, poté co se opijí, navážou chatrné přátelství a vyrukují s bláznivým plánem zveřejnit pár zavádějících fotek na sociálních sítích. No a co? Kdo jim to může vyčítat? Všechno je to ale jen naoko, protože není možné, aby Daphne skutečně začala novou etapu svého života tím, že se zamiluje do bývalého přítele současné snoubenky svého někdejšího snoubence… anebo ano?

Szerelemre akadva


A királyrákhalász Fox Thornton szexi, gondtalan flörtölő hírében áll. Mindenki tudja, hogy garantáltan jól szórakozik - az ágyban és az ágyon kívül is -, és ő pontosan így szereti. Egészen addig, amíg nem találkozik Hannah Bellingerrel. A lány immunis a sármjára és a külsejére, de úgy tűnik, élvezi a... személyiségét? Barátkozni akar? Bizarr. De a férfi túlságosan kedveli a lányt ahhoz, hogy megkockáztassa a kalandot, így hát marad a plátói barátság. Most Hannah a városban van munka miatt, és Fox szabad hálószobájában alszik. Tudja, hogy a férfi hírhedt nőcsábász, de határozottan csak barátok. Valójában reménytelenül belezúgott egy kollégájába, és Fox pont az a személy, aki segíthetne a szerelmi életének elmaradottságán. Westport rezidens Casanovájának néhány tippjével felfegyverkezve Hannah nekilát, hogy elnyerje munkatársa tetszését... ám minél több időt tölt Fox-szal, annál inkább őt akarja helyette. Ahogy a barátság és a flörtölés közötti határvonal kezd elmosódni, Hannah nem tudja letagadni, hogy mindent szeret Foxban, de nem hajlandó egy újabb rovátka lenni a férfi ágytábláján. A legjobb barátjával élni könnyűnek kellett volna lennie. Csakhogy most a lány törölközőben járkál, a folyosó túloldalán alszik, Fox pedig arról fantáziál, hogy élete végéig mellette ébred, és... és... férfi a fedélzeten! Belezúgott a lányba, horoggal, zsinórral és süllyedővel. Segíteni neki flörtölni egy másik sráccal tiszta kínszenvedés, de talán, ha Fox le tudja küzdeni a belső démonait, és megmutatja Hannah-nak, hogy ő teljesen benne van, a lány őt választja helyette?

The Collected Short Stories


The collected stories of Cixin Liu, international bestselling author of The Three-Body Problem. From cosmological horror to wry satire, from first contact to the end of everything, these 32 stories explore our place in the universe, pitting the vastness of space against the fragility of humanity. The scale of Liu's imagination is immense, exploring both the infinite and the infinitesimal, the epic and the intimate. Here, machine intelligences create art or sow terror, humanity is annihilated or created anew, alien civilizations come bearing gifts, or they come in the cold logic of universal war. Solar systems are devoured, planets are turned into spaceships, and time is reversed. With a physicist's mind and a philosopher's heart, Liu takes us to the boundaries of the cosmos and consciousness... but that's just where his imagination begins.

Spiderlight


Allies will become enemies. Enemies will become allies. And the Dark Lord is waiting. The church of Armes of the Light has long fought the forces of Darkness. And its great prophecy dictates that Dark Lord Darvezian will fall to a band of misfits armed with their wits and the Light's blessing, and led by a priestess. But to reach the Dark Lord via the 'spider's path', as the prophecy states, they'll need a spider. They'll discover that not even the power of sorcery can disguise the grotesque creature's true and appalling nature, nor its unwillingness to be part of their quest. As priestess, mage, knight, ranger, and rogue squabble their way through a journey fraught with peril, they question whether the creature called Nth is a monster, a tool or a friend. And ahead lies a mighty confrontation. If they can survive it, it will change all their worlds forever. Spiderlight is an exhilarating fantasy quest from Adrian Tchaikovsky, the author of Children of Time, Guns of the Dawn and the Shadows of the Apt series.

They seek to spread their dangerous webs wider by manipulating England's Norman lords to invade Ireland. Not yet eighteen, Isolde's world is about to change for ever.

Kouzelníci


Bylo nebylo – do jednoho opuštěného domu se po dlouhé době vrátili tři velcí kouzelníci. Dokážou procházet prostorem i časem, brát na sebe nejrůznější podoby, objevovat se i mizet v nečekaných místech… Ale co jsou zpátky, nezastavili se: pronásledují je totiž Lovkyně a strašlivý drak Drtichrup! Nejradši by je vymazali ze světa. Ale proč? A opravdu ty tři podivné fantasty tenhle svět potřebuje? Jsou totiž docela podezřelí, a možná dokážou jen škodit… Kdo je vlastně Lovkyně a její přítel Drtichrup a proč tak touží kouzelníky zneškodnit? A komu ti dva slouží? Mistrovský grafický román nebo spíš obrazovou knihu francouzského básníka obrazu Blexbolexe, inspirovanou japonským komiksem i německou krajinou, lze číst jako dobrodružný příběh, jako fantastickou podívanou, ale i jako alegorii souboje výbušné, nespoutané a svobodné fantazie, která vždy vybují tam, kde ji nikdo nečeká, a dokáže tak čelit nudnému technokratickému inženýrství dnešního světa.
