Atomic Coffin


December 1984. SIS field asset Heidi Sperling [codename Thistle] exfiltrates from East Berlin with the sole copy of a critical intelligence leak: a naval log containing a solitary message received from a previously unidentified Soviet submarine. Incredulously - impossibly - it seems the vessel, known only as TK-15, has been sitting motionless and undetected in the waters between Scotland and Iceland for three whole years. And now this latest message reads: ACTIVE. Picked up by the Royal Navy's submarine HMS Viking, Heidi is thrust into a 'black ops' mission: find TK15 and neutralise it at any cost. But as her only ally on board the Viking falls sick, she realises this modified vessel is far more than a Soviet experiment to gain an upper hand in the nuclear arms race. Here, in the crushing depths of the North Atlantic, it seems something darker has awoken - something that cannot be contained by any superpower. As Heidi's own reality twists around her, an unknowable force cripples the Viking's defences and drives its crew to madness. Trapped in the deep, Heidi has no choice but to find a way to save the remaining crew and stop TK-15 for good, before it steals what's left of her mind . . .

EXODUS: The Helium Sea


The epic conclusion of the far-future Archimedes Engine duology by legendary author Peter F. Hamilton. For millennia, the Crown Dominion has been at relative peace, with the Celestials in control and the human population little better than serfs. But now the Crown Dominion is facing a crisis of epic proportions - one that could change the balance of power in the Centauri Cluster forever - as an exiled faction that has been waiting for seven thousand years beyond the Helium Sea has returned to claim its vengeance. For Finn and his human allies, who have ended up at the center of this conflict through either circumstance or manipulation, this is an unprecedented opportunity. If they can band together, they may be able to outwit the Celestials and finally earn their fellow humans a place of independence and power in the Crown Dominion. But first they must locate and master ancient artifacts of immense power that could give them a needed edge in the conflict ahead - all while ducking the forces that are determined to knock them off the board for good.

A Different Kind of Power


This is not just a book for people who follow politics, but for anyone who has ever doubted themselves, or wanted to make a difference. The deeply personal memoir from the former prime minister of New Zealand, then the world's youngest female head of government and just the second to become a mother in office. Jacinda Ardern grew up the daughter of a police officer in small-town New Zealand, but as the 40th Prime Minister of her country, she became a global icon for her empathetic leadership that put people first. She guided her country through unprecedented challenges, from the 2019 Christchurch mosque attacks to a global pandemic. She advanced visionary policies to address climate change and child poverty. And all while juggling first-time motherhood in the public eye. This is the inspiring story of how a Mormon girl plagued by self-doubt changed our assumptions of what a leader can be. A Different Kind of Power is more than a political memoir. Powerfully evocative and refreshingly open, it is a profound insight into how it feels to lead and it asks: what if you, too, are capable of more than you ever imagined?

Tretia syntéza


Žijeme v dobe, ktorá verí vo vedu a v techniku viac než v Boha – a predsa sa ocitáme v kríze hodnôt, identity aj samotného zmyslu pokroku. Tretia syntéza prináša odvážny a provokatívny filozofický pohľad na konzum¬nú spoločnosť, kyborgizáciu človeka, ekologickú krízu a duchovný úpadok modernity. Autor v knihe ponúka originálnu tézu: nie človek ovláda prírodu, ale príroda – vrátane prirodzenosti nášho tela – teleologicky riadi technický vývoj a vedie ľudstvo k vyššej duchovnej transformácii. V dialógu s myslením Rudolfa Steinera, Emila Páleša, Karla Marxa či kritikov transhumanizmu autor rozvíja „nový kresťanský príbeh pokroku“, v ktorom sa technika nestáva náhradou človeka, ale paradoxne nástrojom jeho duchovného dozrievania. Konzumná spoločnosť tak nie je iba dekadentným úpadkom, ale zároveň matricou triedenia a morálneho vývoja ľudstva. Ide o filozoficko-teologickú esej, ktorá spája ontológiu, dejinnú filozofiu, kritiku liberalizmu aj duchovnú antropológiu do jedného syntetického rámca, „tretej syntézy“, ktorá chce prekročiť jednostrannosť materializmu aj čistej spirituality. Názov Tretia syntéza odkazuje na dve predošlé syntézy v západnom myslení, a to vyrovnanie sa sv. Augustína s Platónom a "pokrstenie" Aristotela Tomášom Akvinským. Kniha je určená čitateľom, ktorí hľadajú hlbší zmysel súčasných civilizačných zmien a neboja sa premýšľať o budúcnosti človeka v horizonte večnosti.

Segítség, francia lettem!


Bretagne az új Toszkána - csak több vajjal és almaborral. Harminc évvel ezelőtt Mark Greenside beleszeretett Bretagne-ba. Aztán - minden józan ész ellenére - kölcsönkért pénzből vett egy százéves parasztházat egy ötszáz lelkes faluban, úgy, hogy egy szót sem tudott franciául, semmit nem értett a házakhoz, és halvány fogalma sem volt arról, hogyan boldoguljon egy teljesen idegen környezetben. Azóta eltelt három évtized. Mark még mindig rendszeresen félreérti a franciákat, a franciák pedig még mindig türelmesen próbálják megérteni őt. Szomszédai vigyáznak rá: lefordítják a hivatalos leveleit, kijavítják a beszédét, és időről időre megmentik a kisebb-nagyobb katasztrófáktól. A Segítség, francia lettem! szellemes, melegszívű és ismerősen emberi történet mindazoknak, akik érezték már magukat elveszettnek vagy reménytelenül kívülállónak - egészen addig a pillanatig, amíg meg nem találták a helyüket.
