Startup Hell
A hilarious contemporary fantasy about a junior sales witch stuck in corporate hell, who has to evade devilish pacts and her kickass, world-saving, demon-slaying mum to save a (surprisingly hot) demon, and work out how to hit her quarterly target. From the New York Times-bestselling author of Dreadful and The Grimoire Grammar School Parent Teacher Association.
Morgan Blackwater's mother is a kickass, world-saving, demon-slaying Shadow Council wizard. As for Morgan? Morgan's a junior salesperson at a tech startup that can't even decide what its product is. But with magic dyslexia and a disinclination to kick ass, Morgan is doing her best carving out a niche for herself in the mundane world.
Leaving work late one night, she discovers her boss dead from the effort of summoning a demon to trade his soul in order to make his quarterly target. The disturbingly-attractive demon, Lucareoth (Luke for short), is trapped here until he finds someone to sell their soul. While trying to sneak Luke out of the building, Morgan runs into her infamous mother. Apparently, someone has been summoning demons and she's here to get to the bottom of it.
Trying to protect Luke from her mother, Morgan gets sucked into the Infernal Plane and discovers hell really is a corporate nightmare. She only gets back home with a promise to deliver a human soul of her own. While her coworkers are really annoying, she's not willing to sacrifice their souls. The company's tech bro CEO, though, is another story.
With Caitlin Rozakis's signature wit, STARTUP HELL is a contemporary fantasy that exposes the demonic nature of the corporate world.
Změna režimu: Politiky
Jak by měla vypadat obnova našeho státu v?praxi, jak by se základní principy, obsažené v první publikaci o změně režimu, měly promítnout do jednotlivých resortů? Bez praktických kroků se totiž i ty nejlépe promyšlené institucionální změny snadno stanou prázdnými schránkami, v?nichž se budou hromadit stejné neřesti, jaké provázejí současný systém. Cílem není převrat ani pouhá personální obměna ve vedení státu, ale hluboký systémový přerod k větší demokracii a suverenitě.

How to Rule the World
A searing critique of the crony-capitalist, talent-scraping culture of the Stanford elites, by a brilliant young journalist
When seventeen-year old Theo Baker arrived at Stanford University one brisk September morning, its manicured lawns, palm trees and sparkling fountains, all under azure Californian skies, provoked in him both wonderment and a sense of anticipation. After all, this legendary campus, where Rodin sculptures rub shoulders with nuclear laboratories, is where Silicon Valley was birthed. Its research park housed the headquarters of Facebook and Hewlett Packard, with venture capitalists a stone's throw away, ready to fund the next promising teenager's startup. With an annual budget eclipsing the budgets of 153 countries, yet a reputation for being laid-back and innovative, Stanford seemed like tech heaven. Instead, Baker discovered a cultural rot.
In this astonishing debut Baker recounts his freshman year mission to uncover the secrets behind Silicon Valley's training ground. He describes the Stanford inside Stanford, a strange, money-soaked subculture of infinite excess and access, afforded only to those special few students plucked from the crowd and expected to create billion dollar companies. And he documents a culture of getting ahead at any cost, of cut corners enabled and embraced. A culture that went to the very top. Baker's investigations for the student newspaper would soon place him in the impossibly difficult position of investigating his own university's president, a famous neuroscientist with a squeaky-clean reputation. By the end of his freshman year, after Baker's reporting revealed two decades of unreported research misconduct allegations, including in a study that claimed to have found the cause of degeneration in Alzheimer's patients, Stanford's president was forced to resign.
Both coming-of-age story and clear-eyed exposé, Baker takes us inside this elite American world like no other, revealing the ambitious, amoral, and at-times laughably absurd truth behind the institution training kids to rule the world.

What could possibly go wrong: And as the experiment takes on a terrifying life of its own, those few who are able to fight back will have to use everything they've got just to stay alive . . . and human.

Sok ördögök
„– Csak egy pillanatra láttam. Pár másodpercig. Egy olyan nyolcvan év körüli nő lehetett, talán öregebb. Derékig érő, hosszú, ősz haja volt és anyaszült meztelenül állt az úttesten. Somlyói felnézett a jegyzetelésből.
– Micsoda?
– Mondtam, hogy hülyének fog nézni. Márpedig teljesen pucéran mászkált ott. Egy sovány, inas asszony volt, a haja így lebegett körülötte – mondta, miközben a levegőt legyezgetve próbálta demonstrálni. Somlyói elismerően bólintott, értékelte az igyekezetet.
– És látta már korábban azt a nőt?
Tamás megrázta fejét.”
„De ki engedheti meg magának, hogy szabadon érezhessen akármit, ha figyelő szemek követik mindenhová? Hogy érezhet szabadon az ember egy kicsi településen? Szabályok kötik az embereket, megszólják azt, akinek a viselkedése nem konform, ezért mélyre szorítjuk dühünket, ami kelepcébe zárva viszont egyre csak rothad és növekszik bennünk. És aztán szemmel verünk, rosszat kívánunk, ütünk, gázolunk, ártunk. Felborítják bennünk az egyensúlyt a sok ördögök, nem látjuk tőlük, hol a határ, s ha nem tudunk mit kezdeni szorító érzelmeinkkel, kiszabadulnak, megtörténik velünk a legrosszabbtól is rosszabb.”
„Mennyire hétköznapi is az indulat elszabadulása, s abból mégis mennyire rendhagyó tragédiák tudnak kibontakozni.”

Lightfall - Fényhullás (Öröklétfölde 1.)
A vér nemcsak táplálék, hanem maga a hatalom.
Évszázadokon át vámpírok uralták a világot, mígnem a Szürkék váratlanul felbukkantak a semmiből, és egyetlen éjszaka alatt kiirtották a népesség felét. A túlélők az utolsó vámpírvárosba, Előfénybe menekültek, ahol egyszerű szabályok szerint élték tovább az életüket. A szegények csak gyenge vért fogyaszthattak. A nemesek a legjobbat kapták. És soha, semmilyen körülmények között nem hagyhatták el a várost.
Sam a palotában szolgál, elege van a szabályokból és az Urakból, akiknek éjjeliedényét súrolja. Amikor a város Elöljáró Urának át meggyilkolják, és Sam rábukkan az ezzel kapcsolatos egyetlen nyomra, megragadja a lehetőséget, hogy zsarolással feljebb kerüljön a társadalmi ranglétrán, és így jobb vérhez jusson. Beáll a Vérszívók csoportjába, ahol lázadó szobalányok szövetkeznek a legkegyetlenebb Urak ellen. Hamarosan szövetséget köt egy varázslóval, akinek éles elméje pótolja mágikus hiányosságait, valamint egy halálos vérfarkas bérgyilkossal és egy grófnővel, aki az egész város titkait ismeri.
Csupán egyetlen gond van. Ami egyszerű gyilkossági nyomozásnak indult, felfedte az uralkodó osztály körében húzódó sűrű összeesküvés hálóját. Samnek ki kell derítenie az igazságot, mielőtt ő maga is áldozattá válik. Ha el tudja kerülni a halált, akkor talán örökké élhet.

Kipurcant kedvencek – Rex Dexter nyomoz: Kísért a narvál
Rex Dexter eszes... Valamint ördögien jóképű. Ám mindezekkel együtt átkozott is: kipurcant állatok bukkannak fel a szobájában, és azt követelik tőle, hogy derítsék ki, mi történhetett velük.
Miután sikeresen megoldott jó néhány, veszélyeztetett állatokat érintő esetet, Rex majdnem biztos benne, hogy megszabadult tőlük. Ám ekkor egy közel egytonnás narvált talál a babzsákfoteljében elterülve. Mert ez a komoly külsejű fickó halott. És emiatt rendkívül morcos.
A hal(áli) ügyek tehát folyamatban vannak. És ha mindez nem lenne elég, Rex anyukájának új, megterhelő munkája lett. Az egyik tanárnője pedig feltehetően egy orosz bérgyilkosszervezet tagja. Eközben a legjobb barátja, Darvish figyelmét egy szerepjáték vonja el. És, minő borzalom, úgy tűnik, Rexnek akadt egy barátnője...
