Kchrat 4: Zapovězený skok
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.

When a mortal’s growing powers threaten Lord Indra’s supremacy, Meneka seizes a rare opportunity and strikes a deal. If she can seduce this dangerous man, Indra will grant her what she most desires: her freedom. But upon meeting the mortal Kaushika, Meneka finds herself captivated, despite his power threatening to destroy everything she’s ever known. Can she overthrow the man who is, little by little, stealing her heart, or is he seducing her instead and to what end? As war looms in the skies, Meneka must choose between her duty to protect her home, and the man who is showing her what love can truly mean.

Rot
'A vigorous and engaging new study of the Irish famine . . . Richly underpinned by research in contemporary sources and firmly rooted in historical scholarship.' Fintan O'Toole'A vivid, polemical narrative that does justice to victims and explains the ideologies that worsened the disaster.' Irish Independent'Scanlan's history of the ''Great Hunger' and its repercussions is meticulous, measured and damning.' Financial Times'Mr. Scanlan's haunting and terrible book is undoubtedly a history title of the year.' Wall Street JournalIn the 1800s, as Britain became the world's most powerful industrial empire, Ireland starved. The Great Famine fractured long-held assumptions about political economy and 'civilisation', threatening disorder in Britain. Ireland was a laboratory for empire, shaping British ideas about colonisation, population, ecology and work. In Rot, Padraic Scanlan reinterprets the history of this time and the result is a revelatory account of Ireland's Great Famine. In the first half of the nineteenth century, nowhere in Europe - or the world - did the working poor depend as completely on potatoes as in Ireland. To many British observers, potatoes were evidence of a lack of modernity among the Irish. However, Ireland before the famine more closely resembled capitalism's future than its past. While poverty before and during the Great Famine was often blamed on Irish backwardness, it did in fact stem from the British Empire's embrace of modern capitalism. Uncovering the disaster's roots in Britain's deep imperial faith in markets and capitalism, Rot reshapes our understanding of the Famine and its tragic legacy.
