Terka v nemocnici
Terka si zlomila nohu a musí ísť do nemocnice. Našťastie je pri nej mama. Dievčatko čoskoro zistí, že doktorov sa báť netreba. Injekcia je len drobné štipnutie, röntgen odhalí dôležité veci a operáciu človek ani nevníma, pretože ju prespí. Keď sa zobudí, je síce omámený, no ak potrebuje pomoc, stlačí gombík, a o chvíľu sa ukáže sestrička. Až nastane vhodná chvíľa, malá pacientka dostane sadru a barle. A keďže sa naučí aj správne cvičiť, pretože len tak môže noha opäť zosilnieť, všetko je na dobrej ceste k uzdraveniu. Dokonca sa prihodí čosi neočakávané - Terka si tu nájde novú kamarátku.

Godfall
SOMETHING ASTONISHING IS HEADING OUR WAY . . .'A gripping blend of sci-fi mystery and small-town suspense . . . an unforgettable ride.' RON HOWARD, Academy Award-winning director'I felt slapped awake by Godfall’s brilliant conceit . . . thought-provoking, awe-inspiring, and visionary.' BENJAMIN PERCY, writer of Marvel's Wolverine'Engrossing, genre bending . . . will have you staying up long past your bedtime.' KARIN SLAUGHTERA massive asteroid hurtles toward Earth and humanity is braced for annihilation – but the end doesn’t come . . .Because it's not an asteroid . . . it’s a three-mile-tall alien figure that comes to earth outside Little Springs, Nebraska. Dubbed ‘the giant’, its body apparently pierced by a blade, its arrival transforms this quiet red-state farm town into a top-secret government research site and major metropolitan area, flooded with soldiers, scientists, government agents, bureaucrats, spies, criminals, conspiracy theorists . . . and a killer.As the sheriff of Little Springs, David Blunt thought he’d be keeping the peace among the same people he’d known all his life, not breaking up chanting crowds of conspiracy theorists, busting drugs gangs, dealing with doomsday cults, struggling to control town hall meetings about immigrants, and invaders and the construction of a mosque. Or trying to catch a cunning and seemingly untraceable killer.As the brutal, bizarre murders strike ever closer to home, Blunt – increasingly troubled by strange, unsettling dreams of a cosmos in chaos – throws himself into the hunt for a killer who seems somehow connected to the Giant.With bodies piling up and tensions in Little Springs mounting, he realizes that in order to find the answers he needs, he must first reconcile his traditional sense of things with the town, and the world, he now lives in – before it’s too late.
Churchill’s Pirates
BY THE BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF THE PATHFINDERS'SUPERB... RICH IN HUMAN DRAMA' James Holland | 'EXCITING AND IMPORTANT'Dan Snow | 'REVELATORY AND THRILLING'Saul David | 'HIS FINEST ACHIEVEMENT YET... THIS IS HISTORY AT FULL THROTTLE'Guy Walters | 'RIGOROUSLY RESEARCHED AND HIGHLY READABLE'Kate Jamieson Just after midnight on Saturday, 2 September 1939, under overcast skies at Wilhelmshaven naval base in north-west Germany, a German U-boat quietly slipped out of its berth and into the North Sea. This was the first of a concentrated onslaught of submarines and airplanes determined to win WW2 by transforming the peaceful shipping lanes and fishing spots around Britain into treacherous mine-studded waters.As those first mines found their marks, capsizing innocent shipping vessels just off the coast, the nation called its men and women to join in its defence. The result was a rag-tag group of sailors and volunteers that came to form a ‘navy within a navy’ – the Royal Naval Patrol Service.These motley crews grew into a force of 70,000 men and women manning and supporting a fleet of 6,000 ships. Using converted fishing vessels, pleasure yachts and trawlers, they cleared sea mines, escorted merchant vessels across frozen northern waters, hunted submarines off the coast of America, undertook secret missions in the Mediterranean and heroically rescued soldiers at Dunkirk, working day and night to keep Britain safe in her darkest hour.Drawing on fascinating first-hand accounts with surviving veterans, exclusive interviews, original papers and new archive material, Will Iredale brings us onto the decks of these small brave ships, onto the beaches where boffins worked to crack German engineering and into clandestine war room meetings where Winston Churchill worked to coordinate the pivotal moments that transformed the war and helped secure victory for the allies to tell the defining story of an overlooked unit of ordinary people that played a pivotal role in saving the country and winning the war.
