Vnútri Zeme


Pod povrchom Zeme sa ukrýva civilizácia, ktorá nemala byť nikdy objavená. Keď vedec Johann narazí na technológiu presahujúcu hranice ľudského poznania, stáva sa terčom síl ochotných zabíjať, aby si zachovali kontrolu. Po boku záhadnej Aury – ženy spojenej s mocou, ktorá presahuje chápanie moderného sveta – sa Johann ocitá medzi dvoma realitami: medzi chladnou logikou kyborgov a hlbokou silou civilizácie, ktorá spája vedu s vedomím. V srdci konfliktu stojí kryštálová pyramída a rozhodnutie, ktoré môže navždy zmeniť osud ľudstva. Vnútri Zeme je napínavý sci-fi triler o hraniciach vedy, o pokušeniu moci a o tom, čo sa stane, keď človek zistí, že svet je oveľa väčší – a nebezpečnejší – než si kedy dokázal predstaviť. Otázka neznie, či sa tajomstvo odhalí. Otázka znie: kto ho prežije.

These Summer Storms


Alice isn't like the other Storm siblings. While the rest stayed to battle for their parents' approval, attention, and untold billions, she left, building her own life beyond the family's name and influence. Nothing could induce her to come back, except the shocking death of her larger-than-life father. Now back on the family's private island, she plans to keep her head down, pay the last of her respects and leave the minute the funeral is over. Unfortunately, her father had other plans. The eccentric, manipulative patriarch left his widow and their grown children a final challenge - an inheritance game designed to humiliate, devastate and unravel the Storm family in ways both petty and life-altering. The rules of the game are clear: stay on the island for one week, complete the tasks, receive the inheritance. One week on Storm Island is an impossible task for Alice. Every corner of the sprawling old house is bursting with dysfunctional chaos: Her older sister's secret love affair. Her brother's incessant mansplaining. Her sister-in-law's unapologetic greed. Her younger sister's obsession with 'vibes'. Her mother's penchant for stirring up competition between her children. And all under the stern, watchful gaze of Jack Dean, her father's enigmatic, unfairly good-looking, second-in-command. It will be a miracle if Alice manages to escape the week unscathed.
