Jesus' Son
A young, unnamed man, reeling from his addiction to heroin and alcohol, spirals through these interlinked stories of grief and transcendence, of rock bottom and redemption, of getting lost and found and lost again. In the course of his adventures, he meets an assortment of people, who seem as alienated and confused as he; sinners, misfits, the lost, the damned, the desperate and the forgotten. Out of their bleak, seemingly random lives, Denis Johnson creates modern-day parables of a harsh and devastating beauty.

Vnútri Zeme
Pod povrchom Zeme sa ukrýva civilizácia, ktorá nemala byť nikdy objavená.
Keď vedec Johann narazí na technológiu presahujúcu hranice ľudského poznania, stáva
sa terčom síl ochotných zabíjať, aby si zachovali kontrolu.
Po boku záhadnej Aury – ženy spojenej s mocou, ktorá presahuje chápanie moderného
sveta – sa Johann ocitá medzi dvoma realitami: medzi chladnou logikou kyborgov a
hlbokou silou civilizácie, ktorá spája vedu s vedomím. V srdci konfliktu stojí kryštálová
pyramída a rozhodnutie, ktoré môže navždy zmeniť osud ľudstva.
Vnútri Zeme je napínavý sci-fi triler o hraniciach vedy, o pokušeniu moci a o tom, čo sa
stane, keď človek zistí, že svet je oveľa väčší – a nebezpečnejší – než si kedy dokázal
predstaviť.
Otázka neznie, či sa tajomstvo odhalí.
Otázka znie: kto ho prežije.
