Ha Oroszország győz - Szcenárió
Megszoktuk, hogy végül minden jól alakul. De mi van, ha most nem így lesz? Carlo Masala különösen drámai módon mutatja be, mi forog kockán.
Egy lehetséges forgatókönyv szerint 2028 márciusában az orosz csapatok elfoglalják az észt kisvárost, Narvát és a Balti-tengeren fekvő Hiiumaa-szigetet. Megkezdődik a balti államok elleni támadás. Az a tény, hogy Európa az ukrajnai háború befejezése után nem fegyverkezett fel újra, most visszaüt. Alkalmazható-e a NATO 5-ös cikkelye? Hogyan dönt a szövetség? Kockáztatják-e a nukleáris háborút?
A katonai szakértő Carlo Masala a fikció határmezsgyéjén egyensúlyozva mutatja be, hogy Oroszország Ukrajna elleni agresszív háborúja messze több, mint egy európai konfliktus – ez a jövőbeli világrendért folyó globális hatalmi harc egyik legfontosabb csatatere, kimenetelétől függ, hogy milyen normák uralják ezentúl a nemzetközi politikát. Ez a könyv sürgető felhívás, hogy Ukrajna sorsán túl lássuk azt is, nemcsak Európa jövője a tét, hanem a nemzetközi rend stabilitása is.
„Hozzászoktunk, hogy végül valahogyan minden jóra fordul. Minden hollywoodi filmben ez történik. Ez történt 1945-ben és 1989-ben is. Persze nem azonnal, az unalmas is lenne. De a végére mégiscsak. A mostani helyzet egyértelmű: demokráciánkra, Ukrajnára, az egész Nyugatra irtózatos nyomás nehezedik. A populisták egyre sikeresebbek a választásokon, az orosz csapatok előrenyomulnak, Donald Trumpot megint elnökké választották. De a végére majd csak jóra fordulnak a dolgok, ugye? Minket azért mégsem támad meg Oroszország, a demokrácia nem roppan bele, a Nyugat megőrzi az erejét, ugye?
És mi van, ha mégsem? Mi van, ha Oroszország győz?”

White River Crossing
A breathtaking and cinematic novel about the lust for gold and its bloody consequences, set in the unforgiving landscape of the sub-Arctic Canadian wilderness, from the acclaimed author of The North Water‘Like The North Water, with which it shares much DNA, White River Crossing moves at a propulsive lick, its bloody meat marbled with cruelty and violence. McGuire does not let us look away: the clumsy amputation of a gangrenous arm is described in almost voluptuous detail, while the desolate beauty of the vast landscape is summoned with a sharp precision’ Guardian‘McGuire can construct an enthralling narrative, while sensitively handling the upheavals caused by colonial arrogance and overreach. His characterization can also be masterly. [..] An expertly told thriller that’s also a classic colonial adventure story’ Telegraph‘Like Hilary Mantel in her Wolf Hall trilogy, McGuire achieves a cinematic intimacy’ SpectatorA ragged fur peddler arrives at a remote outpost of the Hudson Bay Company in the winter of 1766 with a lump of gold, claiming that there is plenty more like it further north at a place called Ox Lake. The outpost’s chief factor, Magnus Norton, dreams of instant riches and launches a secret and perilous expedition to find the treasure and bring it back. Led by a family of native guides, the party of prospectors includes Norton’s brutish deputy, John Shaw, and Thomas Hearn, the insular and intellectual first mate from the factory’s whaling sloop. During their long journey north, Shaw’s callousness and arrogance lead him to commit an act of sexual violence whose disastrous consequences will only fully emerge once they reach their final destination. There, amidst the bleak beauty of the Barren Grounds, as Norton’s carefully crafted plans begin to fall apart and the brutal arctic winter starts to descend, Hearn is forced to make a choice that will define his character and determine his future forever. Utterly captivating, White River Crossing transports us back to the furthest edges of the eighteenth-century British empire where two radically different worlds—indigenous and European—collide with calamitous and deadly results.

Floodlines
The new novel from the award-winning author of Guapa; and a sweeping, multi-generational saga that traces the fractured bonds between three Iraqi-British sistersIn the summer of 2014, three estranged Iraqi-British sisters are drawn back into each other’s orbits through the discovery of their late father’s lost paintings. As Mediha, Zainab, and Ishtar lay claim to his legacy—an inheritance laced with exile, betrayal, and an Iraq they no longer recognise—Zainab’s son Nizar, a war correspondent haunted by his time on the front lines, returns to the family fold. As summer bleeds into autumn and the truth about the paintings unfurls, the family is forced to confront the personal and political betrayals that tore them apart. Spanning continents and decades, Floodlines grapples with grief and memory, and charts the emotional and political aftershocks of a century of war and revolution in Iraq and beyond. Inspired by the artistic legacy of Haddad’s great uncle, the Iraqi modernist painter Jewad Selim, Floodlines explores family, queerness, and the wounds of (neo)colonialism in haunting, visceral prose. "A literary voice capable of narrating untold stories of the modern gay experience, from one of the most complicated parts of the world."—Attitude Magazine
