Dokáže šatchranský voják přežít na území odvěkého nepřítele?
Před dvanácti sty lety napadly šatchrany děsivé stvůry z druhé strany tajemné mlhoviny. A nechybělo mnoho, aby je téměř vyhladily. Od té doby se šatchranští vesmírní vojáci snaží zničit každou cizí loď, která záhadně překoná neprostupnou mlhovinu a zjeví se v jejich vesmírném prostoru.
Jednou na takového narušitele narazí i mladý a nezkušený Rašchet a bez zaváhání se s ním střetne. A selže.
Jenže nezemře. Díky milosrdenství podivné posádky tak může zahlédnout, co se za mlhovinou doopravdy skrývá. A vzápětí zjišťuje, že žádné tajemství se neprozrazuje zadarmo, stvůry mohou mít mnoho podob a nic se neděje náhodou.

Štafeta
Sedmnáctiletá Júko bydlí s nevlastním otcem Morimijou a vede naprosto spokojený život — nebo se to tak alespoň může na první pohled zdát. Od narození stihla vystřídat domov a příjmení hned čtyřikrát. Přestože se složení její rodiny několikrát změnilo, všichni rodiče ji zahrnovali láskou. Odnesla si od nich spoustu dobrého, ale některé šrámy se jen tak nezahojí. To jí připomene především rušný poslední ročník střední školy, v němž kromě učení na přijímací zkoušky dojde i na pár zvratů, které Júko donutí pořádně se zamyslet nad svými hodnotami, názory na přátelství a v neposlední řadě i nad tím, co jí dali a možná i vzali všichni její rodiče.
Nakonec Júko čeká i první velká láska a zakládání vlastní rodiny, které s sebou přinese ještě jednu výzvu před poslední změnou příjmení — přesvědčit Morimiju, aby jí a jejímu budoucímu manželovi dal svolení ke svatbě.

Body Count
Serial killer Saffy Huntley-Oliver's life is going great.
She's got a fabulous new boyfriend, Jonathan. She has literally got away with murder. And now that she's no longer single, she can get back to her favourite hobby: killing bad men.
Particularly Sir Thomas West, a children's TV star who truly deserves to die.
But there are a few little snags. For one, her beloved sister Susie is still dating that insufferable Finlay. For another, Sir Thomas has a very large bodyguard. And Jonathan himself has given up his job investigating true crime, despite all the tempting corpses that Saffy keeps putting in his way.
All of this would be easy to ignore in the flush of new love. Except Saffy's never been in love before, and it's weird. She's having difficulty separating romance from homicide. Especially when someone discovers Saffy's secret hobby and starts sending Jonathan coded messages about her crimes.
Is someone trying to break them up? Or trying to hunt her down?
Mouses Wood
Written in a gentle rhyme that reflects the slow pace of Mouse’s rambling journey, and illustrated in the inimitable style of Alice Melvin, Mouse’s Wood is a heart-warming celebration of slow living in nature.
The story follows Mouse, who first ventures out in wintry January to visit his friend Squirrel. Mouse moves on to wake up Hedgehog for the arrival of spring and as he continues along the path in the wood, Mouse’s journey from friend to friend maps out the changes in seasons from January through to December, from picnicking among the bluebells with Mole in May and picking berries with Dormouse in June, to taking refuge in Fox’s cozy caravan as winter draws in.
Matisse - World of Art
A richly illustrated survey of Matisse's impact on modern art that also examines his career, techniques, aesthetics and stages of artistic development.
The work of Henri Matisse has been both a profound inspiration to his successors and a source of infinite enjoyment to all who love art. Yet the apparent spontaneity of his colour and ease of imagery were the fruit of a lifetime's arduous labour; the simplicity of his compositions the result of a formidable intelligence. In this richly illustrated study, Lawrence Gowing takes us through Matisse's career, assessing his influence on the art that has followed him and looking closely at Matisse's own achievements. The detailed discussion of individual works reveal the subtlety and complexity of one of the greatest masters of all time.
Dutch Painting - World of Art
'A masterpiece, a brilliantly original synthesis, often revelatory, miraculously condensed, and always readable' David Carrier, Counterpunch
This authoritative book in the World of Art series offers a new perspective on the paintings of the Dutch Golden Age, authored by one of the world's foremost experts on Dutch art.
Renowned art historian Gary Schwartz offers a fresh and contemporary perspective on seventeenth-century Dutch painting, one of the most important schools of European art. This lively and authoritative guide brings together a range of notable paintings from leading museum collections to explore the work of well-known masters such as Rembrandt van Rijn, Judith Leyster and Johannes Vermeer, as well as artists that the reader may be encountering for the first time, such as Adriaen van de Velde and Gesina ter Borch.
Across nine chapters, particular attention is paid to patronage and the market; reception and study; gender and race; painters abroad, in Europe as well as Asia and elsewhere; and issues of attribution. Covering an impressively wide range of subjects and styles, Dutch Painting investigates the full panoply of works created by the largest school of seventeenth-century European painters, offering a comprehensive overview of Dutch painting in its own context - and in ours - with a fresh and insightful eye.
Elemental: How We Will Live on a Warming Planet
From the water-stressed mountains of the Arabian Peninsula to the wildfires raging through America's most populated regions, the climate crisis is already affecting the lives of millions. As natural disasters and increased scarcity shake the established world order to its core, Elemental reveals an alternative future is still possible.
Within this century, the new era of extreme weather will threaten India's ability to grow rice, prevent southern Europe's farms from providing the continent with fresh produce, and make building in Saudi Arabia near impossible. While such unprecedented challenges inevitably drive conflict, they will also encourage innovation, upending economies and global power structures to create opportunities for new players and pioneering ways of living.
In this groundbreaking study, Arthur Snell visits rapidly changing societies to show how we can live on a warming planet. He presents a vision in which Africa powers Europe with solar energy, where autocratic oil states are no more, and new shipping routes across the melting Arctic bring Asia, Europe and North America closer than ever before. In Russia, huge areas of highly fertile land will be exposed by the melting ice for whoever can seize it, while China's stranglehold on rare minerals looks set to make it the world's leading superpower.
Through four sections - Earth, Air, Fire and Water - Elemental blends reportage with analysis and interviews with key experts, policymakers and politicians, to reveal the turbulent future we face - and the choices we need to make to avert disaster.

One Morning in March
'A page-turner' The Spectator 'Harrowing and engrossing' Nicola Sturgeon'Incredible and powerful' The Herald 'Utterly heartbreaking' TelegraphOn 13 March 1996 a man walked into Dunblane Primary School armed with four legally owned handguns, and in less than four minutes fired 105 bullets, killing sixteen children and their Primary One teacher. The gunman was notorious among local parents, politicians and police: for years he ran a network of popular boys’ clubs and was the subject of multiple complaints and investigations, but, despite considerable evidence of troubling behaviour, he was never charged. His crime shocked the world then changed the nation – but only after an extraordinary political battle. Based on original archival research, unseen royal correspondence and exclusive interviews with parents, One Morning in March tells – for the first time – of the lead-up to that day but also the incredible and powerful true story of how, in their darkest hour, a band of parents used their grief as fuel in a fight with John Major’s Conservative government to forever ban handguns in Britain. It is a story of how Princess Diana, forbidden to comfort the parents in the immediate aftermath, urged their campaign on; of how Andy Murray, a pupil at the school, ultimately banished the shadow over his hometown by winning Wimbledon; and of how the grieving parents secured the tightest gun laws in the world.

Desperate for answers, Emily and her classmates turn to spiritualism, hoping for a glimpse of wisdom from the great beyond. To their shock, Violet's spirit appears, choosing pious Evelyn as her unlikely medium. And Violet has a warning for them: the danger has just begun. Something deadly is infecting Briarley.
