Feldúlt Éden


A valóságnál is elképesztőbb történet a Galápagos-szigeteken a 20. század elején, tele szenvedéllyel, tragédiával és rejtéllyel. A nagy gazdasági világválság idején a Los Angeles-i olajmágnás, George Allan Hancock és a Smithsonian Intézet tudóscsapata a távoli Galápagos egyik szigetén hátborzongató leletre bukkant: két, a perzselő hőségben mumifikálódott holttestre. A szigeten egy európaiakból álló kis közösség telepedett meg. A politikai és gazdasági zűrzavar elől menekültek ide, hogy megteremtsék a maguk paradicsomát. Az apró sérelmek azonban idővel egyre ádázabb összetűzésekké fajultak, és az éden pokollá változott. Abbott Kahler korábban nem publikált archív anyagok felhasználásával tárja fel e különös, Agatha Christie regényeit idéző történetet, amelyet 2024-ben Ron Howard vitt filmvászonra. „Amikor magához tért a Hacienda mellett vezető ösvényen, friss véraláfutásokat pillantott meg a karján; összeverték, mialatt eszméletlen volt. Feltápászkodott. Nem evett és nem ivott semmit aznap reggel, lángolt a feje a naptól, és hányingertől kavargott a gyomra. Két napig kóborolt a szigeten. Aztán meg sem állt, míg Friedóba nem ért, s most, hogy végre itt van, Doréhoz és Friedrichhez fordul segítségért. Ki akar akasztani egy feliratot a Posta-öbölben, hátha az egyik idelátogató hajó magával viszi.”

Drowning Souls – Whitestone Hospital


Minden, amit egész életemben felépítettem, az összes fal és bástya, a védőpajzsaim – minden a káosz áldozatává válik. Sierra Harris nagy erőfeszítések árán fejezte be orvosi tanulmányait. Most pedig, a Whitestone Hospital rezidens orvosaként, még inkább bizonyítani akarja, hogy többet tud annál, mint amit a vizsgaeredményei mutatnak. Teljesen a munkájára koncentrál, és nem enged meg magának semmilyen zavaró tényezőt. Igyekszik túllépni a bántalmazó anyjához fűződő fájdalmas kapcsolatán, és elkerülni önfejű és vonzó kollégáját, Mitch Riverát. Ám amikor a kórházban megrendítő baleset történik, a világ egy pillanatra megáll. Sierra az elsők közt érkezik a helyszínre, és a tény, hogy Mitch is a sérültek között van, azonnal kihúzza a talajt a lába alól. Sierra korábbi szándéka, hogy távol tartsa magától a férfit, és hogy érzelmeit eltemetve haladjon a céljai felé, meginog a traumatikus események sorozatában. Be kell látnia, hogy Mitch már réges-rég belopta magát a gondolataiba – és a szívébe... És bár a maga köré húzott falak megvédik, de a boldogságtól is megfosztják őt.

Thistlemarsh


Faeries disappeared over one hundred years ago, as suddenly as slipping through a doorway. It was only the very foolish, or the very determined, who held out hope for their return... In the wake of World War I, the world is a decidedly unmagical place. Mouse Dunne once dreamed of becoming a Faerie anthropologist, but with one telegram, her world shattered. At the Somme, her cousin Bertie’s body disappeared into the mud, and her brother Roger came home with devastating shell shock. It was time, she knew, to put aside childish dreams. Then Mouse receives news that her uncle has left her Thistlemarsh Hall, a crumbling manor in the English countryside, once blessed by the Faerie King himself. But there is a catch: if Mouse does not rehabilitate the house in one month's time, she will forfeit her inheritance and any hope of caring for her brother. It looks impossible, until a mysterious Faerie appears with a proposition. Mouse knows better than to trust a Faerie – especially one so insufferably handsome and arrogant – but she is out of options. There are wild and magical forces at work in the house, and Mouse must confront the ghosts of her past... or lose everything.

Across Sicily with Garibaldi's Thousand


The 1860 Expedition of the Thousand, in which a group of volunteers led by Giuseppe Garibaldi sailed from Quarto, near Genoa, landing on the west coast of Sicily and advancing to its capital Palermo in a bid to liberate the island from Bourbon rule, is perhaps the defining moment of the unification of Italy, and a testament to the bravery, resilience and vision of the country’s last condottiere. Drawing on a wealth of contemporary diaries and other first-hand accounts by the protagonists of the events, and interspersing them with his own penetrating remarks, best-selling author Tim Parks retraces the journey of the “Mille” through the ragged landscape of Sicily under the blazing summer heat, bringing back to life an entire world in all its intricate complexity. Along the way he revisits old controversies and provides answers to many unresolved questions – as well as offering a vivid commentary on the Italy of today.

What they find are city ruins and minimal life signs, but definite evidence of starship-grade metals in a single location…quite possibly a crash site. While Uhura continues to investigate the subspace echoes, Spock and his team conduct their ground search, first finding shocking signs of alien life and later, the wreckage of an old Starfleet cargo modules from the era of the NX-01 Enterprise. Upon further investigation, they discover the USS Baldwin, an old warp-5 starship declared missing almost a century ago. No trace of the Baldwin or her fifteen crew members was ever found…until now.

Event Horizon


Seventeen-year-old Milde is from the Outskirts, a place beyond the mountains where the dirt is corpse-rich, where mothers and daughters, banished from society, make their living – without rights, access to care or legal status. But Milde refuses to accept the order of things and, together with two friends, she revolts against the government’s injustice. Arrested, imprisoned and tortured, Milde is eventually presented with a stark choice: a public execution, or participation in an experimental mission that will send her into space, into a black hole known as the Mass. She chooses the Mass, opting to face its fathomless depth and loneliness rather than hurt the morale of her weary community back home. Collapsing and expanding myth and reality, Event Horizon is an exquisite existential novel, dark as deep space, and woven with reflections on oppression, solidarity, trauma and loss.
