MÉG EPIKUSABB. MÉG VADABB.
Az ifjú Conan kaland, kincs és dicsőség után vágyakozva hagyta hátra hazáját, Kimmériát. Kegyetlen kardjával a kezében semmi sem állhatott az útjába. Most, évekkel később épp egy zsoldoscsapat tagjaként portyázik a poros kisvárosban, amikor egy titokzatos felderítő szörnyű figyelmeztetéssel érkezik: rettenetes erő fenyegeti a határvidéket, egy olyan könyörtelen hatalom, amely nem csupán Conan szülőföldjére, hanem a civilizált világ egészére nézve is fenyegetést jelent. Vajon szembeszállhat-e a kimmériai és újdonsült szövetségese a támadók embertelen hordáival?
Legyőzheti-e két harcos a mögöttük megbújó, sötét erőt?
Töretlenül folytatva a Conan kegyetlen kardja szellemiségét, de mégis új korszakot nyitva az olvasók előtt a veterán Jim Zub és a káprázatos Roberto de la Torre egy remekbe szabott, vérbeli Conan-történettel bővíti a barbár hős mitológiáját.

Tenhle podcast ti může zachránit život
Co tě nezabije, to přežiješ
Benny Abbott a Joy Mooreová uvádějí jeden z nejoblíbenějších podcastů v Americe. Každý týden svým posluchačům představují nový neuvěřitelný příběh na hranici mezi životem a smrtí. Od první epizody působí jako nerozluční přátelé, s nimiž by se chtěl kamarádit každý – a díky puntičkářskému vedení Joyina manžela Xandera se jim podaří vybudovat lukrativní impérium.
Problémem je, že ve své další děsivé historce sami sehrají hlavní roli. Když Benny jednoho rána dorazí do nahrávacího studia, který se nachází v domě Joy a Xandera, najde rozbité okno a opuštěnou domácnost. Benny se nezastaví před ničím, aby dvojici našel, jenže policie zatím soustředí pozornost na něj a označí ho za hlavního podezřelého. Čas však plyne neúprosně dál a s každou další hodinou klesá naděje, že je manželský pár stále naživu.

Scarborough Buses, 1940s–1960s
Scarborough of the 1940s to 1960s was a fascinating place for a young bus enthusiast. Travelling from Hull to visit relatives at Newby, outside Scarborough, whether for a day or longer, provided an opportunity not only to observe and ride on United’s buses, but also to travel by East Yorkshire buses.The main attraction was United’s buses which were often in a state of transformation, from 1930s Leyland Titans to the forward-entrance Lodekkas of the 1960s. They were always well turned out in smart red-and-cream livery. Especially fascinating were the three variants of the centre-entrance single-deckers which worked the seafront service. In summer, frequencies were intensive to serve crowds of holidaymakers at the attractions, especially near the Corner Café and on the seafront.East Yorkshire used 1930s Titans (some with new bodies), post-war Titans with ‘Beverley Bar’ bodywork, Bridgemasters and Renowns, while the West Yorkshire fleet had standard Bristol double-deckers and saloons, some with ‘Bible-style’ destination indicators.This selection of evocative photographs provides a flavour of a long-departed but not forgotten time on Scarborough’s buses.
Heroines of the Tudor World
These are the women who ruled, the women who founded dynasties, the women who fought for religious freedom, their families and love. These are the women who made a difference, who influenced countries, kings and the Reformation.Heroines of the Tudor World focuses on the women who lived through the Renaissance and Reformation, examining the threats and challenges they faced and how they overcame them. Studying regents, writers, nuns and queens, and taking in the likes of Elizabeth Barton, Anne Boleyn, Catherine de Medici, Bess of Hardwick and Elizabeth I, Sharon Bennett Connolly shines the spotlight on the women who helped to shape Early Modern Europe.
Cracks in the Crescent
Pakistan is a country of intrigue and interest for many reasons. Envisioned as a homogeneous homeland for Muslims in Indian sub-continent, Pakistan has already witnessed an enduring fragmentation (with creation of Bangladesh) which raises question on the very idea of its creation. Given its strategic leverage, Pakistan had the potential of playing a major role in the regional dynamics as well amongst the comity of Islamic nations. Unfortunately, Pakistan has repeatedly floundered on successive opportunities, exposing its infirmity in pursuing a long-term progressive strategy.

Buried Narratives and Unearthed Identities
The cultural sequences unearthed at Sakas are Neolithic, Neolithic-Chalcolithic and Chalcolithic. It examines multiple parameters, including the in-situ burial arrangements, demographic profiles, metric analysis, skeletal morphology, and palaeopathological markers. The analysis yielded significant insights into dietary habits, morphological variations, and indicators of habitual stress. Evidence of congenital conditions and degenerative pathologies suggests patterns of physically intensive labour and repetitive biomechanical stress. One of the study''s most notable discoveries was the identification of ischial bursitis (Weaver’s Bottom) in two individuals – an atypical condition within archaeological contexts, as this is reported for the first time in the Indian context and is likely indicative of prolonged seated activities or chronic pressure on the ischial region. Overall, the study provides a nuanced understanding of the health, lifestyle, and labour patterns of the people residing in the region, offering valuable contributions to the bioarchaeological record of ancient India. This book is the product of an interdisciplinary effort drawing upon archaeology and bioarchaeology.
Captive Audience
Lieutenant John Blomfield Dixon, East Riding Yeomanry, was twenty years old when he was captured near the village of Watou, Belgium, on 31 May 1940 during the retreat to Dunkirk. His combat career had been short but eventful, and now he began a long journey in captivity. He would be held in number of Oflags, POW camps for officers, including Laufen, Warburg, Posen, Biberach and finally Eichstätt in Bavaria. During his captivity, John recorded the highs and lows of camp life in a series of diaries. As the war progressed, he became more involved in camp theatrical productions, which included works by William Shakespear, Noël Coward and Benjamin Britten. John often played female roles, which he eventually grew to hate. He was finally released on 10 May 1945 after five long years behind the wire.Paul Johnson explores John’s account – his military service and capture, camp life, the efforts to escape, the killing of comrades, his hatred of both captors and captives, his participation in many theatrical performances, a forbidden love and his eventual return home. A fascinating selection of black and white and colourised photographs is also featured, depicting the life, laughs and love of a British POW in Germany during the Second World War.
What’s on the Tank?
The world of motorcycling is split like many parts of the world of motoring enthusiasm by the identity of its members’ vehicles. As with motor cars, every motorcycle make is identified by a specific marque name and badge, the origins of which are both wide-ranging and fascinating.Some makes remain well known, such as Triumph (a name chosen to be easily recognisable in every language) and Harley Davidson (named after the company’s founders), while other marques have been swallowed up by history. Once-great British names such as BSA (a name created from the initials of the parent company Birmingham Small Arms) and Douglas (named after the company founders) are no longer with us, but their owners’ clubs keep their names alive and well. BSA motorcycles would be badged with a ‘piled arms’ symbol comprising three rifles, while Douglas would acquire the figure of a Scotsman called ‘Douglas’. Overseas, Honda would choose a winged ‘H’ for all its motorcycles and Laverda would use the colours of the Italian flag.Michael Burgess explores the intriguing history of the names and badges of motorcycle manufacturers from around the world, some well-known, some more obscure, with a selection of high-quality images.

Towards Reformed Multilateralism in the Era of Indo-Pacific
Asia is the fulcrum of the Indo-Pacific. The “Asian Age” or the “Asian Century” in the era of the Indo-Pacific is being redefined as a broader concept signalling the inevitable rise of different parts of Asia, which are home to some of the world’s most ancient civilizations. For the past two decades, if not more, Asia has re-emerged to shape global dynamics by involving many stakeholders from the extended neighbourhood of Africa, West Asia, Eurasia as well as the great powers that have a long-standing economic and security stake in different parts of Asia.
