The Scottish Boy
1333. Edward III is at war with Scotland. Nineteen-year-old Sir Harry de Lyon yearns to prove himself, and when powerful English baron, William Montagu, invites him on a secret mission with a dozen elite knights, he jumps at the chance. They ride north, to a crumbling Scottish keep, capturing the feral, half-starved boy within and putting the other inhabitants to the sword. But nobody knows why the flower of English knighthood snuck over the border to capture a savage, dirty teenage boy. Montagu gives the boy to Harry as his squire, with only two rules: don't let him escape, and convert him to the English cause. At first, it's hopeless. The Scottish boy is surly and violent, and eats anything that isn't nailed down. Then Harry begins to notice things: that, as well as Gaelic, the boy speaks flawless French, with an accent much different from Harry's Norman one. That he can read Latin too. And when Harry finally convinces the boy - Iain mac Mail Coluim - to cut his filthy curtain of hair, the face revealed is the most beautiful thing Harry has ever seen. With Iain as his squire, Harry wins tournament after tournament and becomes a favourite of the King. But underneath the pageantry smoulder twin secrets: Harry and Iain's growing passion for each other, and Iain's mysterious heritage. As England hurtles towards war once again, these secrets will destroy everything Harry holds dear.

Oveček vlku se zachtělo
Temná atmosféra severských thrillerů, záhadné vraždy a nečekaný motiv
Zkušený kriminalista Patrik se za celou svou kariéru nesetkal s tak hrozivou brutalitou: v budově určené k demolici je objevena mrtvá dospívající dívka navlečená do ovčí kůže a celý výjev završuje kresba vlka krví na zdi. Bizarnost celé situace podtrhuje rýmovaná říkanka o vlku a ovečce pod jazykem oběti. Když je o něco později nalezen zavražděný dospívající chlapec a posléze ještě žena středního věku – vždy v ovčí kůži, s nápisem na zdi a říkankou pod jazykem v ústech, je jasné, že vyšetřovatel má co do činění se sériovým vrahem. Podaří se mu dopadnout pachatele dřív, než zaútočí znovu?
Dialóg dvoch exilov
Po komunistickom prevrate v roku 1948 emigrovali na Západ tisícky demokraticky orientovaných Slovákov vytvárajúcich spolu s Čechmi v poradí už tretí – tentoraz protikomunistický – československý zahraničný odboj. Zo slovenskej strany ho v 70. a 80. rokoch 20. storočia viedol niekdajší politik Demokratickej strany Martin Kvetko.
Po auguste 1968 utiekli z dôvodu okupácie Československa vojskami Varšavskej zmluvy ďalšie desaťtisíce Čechov a Slovákov, často už aj reformných komunistov. Na Západe vytvorili nové štruktúry odporu voči domácej konzervatívnej prosovietskej komunistickej totalite. Významné miesto v nich zastával historik Vilém Prečan, ktorý organizoval distribúciu informačných materiálov medzi domácim disentom a československým exilom, resp. demokratickými médiami na Západe. Stal sa známy najmä ako exilový „dvorný archivár“ aktivít Charty 77, resp. disidentských iniciatív z Československa.
Prečanove neutíchajúce aktivity na poli historiografie, upozorňujúce demokratický Západ na represie komunistického režimu voči kriticky uvažujúcim historikom v Československu, prirodzene upútali pozornosť Martina Kvetka. Témami korešpondencie Prečana a Kvetka boli spočiatku osud proskribovaného historika odboja Jozefa Jablonického a viaceré otázky slovenských dejín 20. storočia. Tie Kvetko vnímal ako ich priamy účastník a aktívny tvorca (odbojový činiteľ, povojnový povereník), zatiaľ čo Prečan patril medzi najvýznamnejších spracovateľov týchto tém (jeho dva zväzky dokumentov o Slovenskom národnom povstaní sú dodnes neprekonané). Listová komunikácia exulantov taktiež poodhaľuje zákulisie mnohých aspektov života protikomunistickej emigrácie i domáceho disentu. Dotýka sa nielen komplikovaných osobných vzťahov v exile či problematiky slovensko-českého súžitia, ale aj tém kontroverznej nemeckej či maďarskej otázky, o ktorých sa viedli ostré polemiky. Publikácia ponúka aj nahliadnutie do „kuchyne“ príprav exilových vydaní diel najvýznamnejších disidentov zo Slovenska – Milana Šimečku, Miroslava Kusého, Hany Ponickej a najmä Jablonického samizdatových štúdií.

Van szerelem, ami mindent túlél...
Josh Walker hűséges, vakmerő és minden nő álma. De őt senki más nem érdekli, csak December Howard, a lány, akire középiskolás kora óta vágyik. Együtt túlélték a gyászt, a katonaságot, a távolságot és az időt, harcolva a lopott hétvégékért, mialatt Josh Fort Ruckerben állomásozott, Ember pedig a Vanderbilt egyetemre járt. Most, hogy Josh mentőpilóta lett, Ember pedig hamarosan lediplomázik, együtt lépnek tovább, és összeköltöznek.

Az utolsó, szerelemmel, szenvedéllyel és a jövőjükről szóló tervekkel töltött közös napjaik sem tudják csillapítani Ember félelmeit, és egyvalamit megtanult az apja halála után: vannak olyan akadályok, amelyeket még a szerelem sem képes legyőzni.
A pilótaiskolának vége.
Ez a háború.
