Tom Isbell Knihy

V republike sa lovecká sezóna nikdy nekončí. Správu som napísal na kamarátovom obstarožnom písacom stroji. Počuli sme síce aj o mobiloch, počítačoch a o akomsi internete, no všetko sa stratilo v elektromagnetickom poli vybuchujúcich bômb. Omega. Tak volali ten deň. Definitívny koniec. V prietrži elektromagnetickej radiácie sa všetko, čo iba vzdialene pripomínalo elektroniku, spieklo na uhoľ. Počítače sa stali predmetom legiend. Väčšina áut zostala nepojazdná. A hoci som zachytil čosi o lietadlách, v živote som nijaké nevidel. Ani som nečakal, že sa to niekedy zmení. Nová vláda nad vojnou zničenou krajinou vyhlási stanné právo a obyvateľstvo rozdelí do táborov. O dvadsať rokov nato skupinka bažantov, ako ich označujú, zisťuje, že svet je iný, než im tvrdili. Poznačení radiáciou putujú do záchytných táborov, kde z nich vychovávajú korisť, nevyhnutnú súčasť každého lovu. Jedinou nádejou je útek do susednej krajiny, lenže lovci pozorne sledujú stopu. Utečenci bojujú za lepšiu budúcnosť a čelia nielen sadistickým chúťkam svojich nepriateľov, ale aj vnútorným výzvam na ceste k osobnej zrelosti.

The Release is the thrilling YA conclusion to Tom Isbell's suspenseful post-apocalyptic Prey series. Perfect for fans of the MAZE RUNNER! Two months have passed since Book, Cat, Hope, and the two others rescued the remaining Less Thans, but no one is safe yet. The group must leave Liberty for good and escape the wolves, the Brown Shirts and the Hunters. Most important, they need to stop Chancellor Maddox before she executes her Final Solution and grows even more powerful. But for Hope, the battle has become personal; she must seek her revenge, no matter what the cost. The PREY trilogy comes to a thrilling conclusion in THE RELEASE, as the group must risk everything - including their lives - in order to defeat their enemies.

The Capture, the second book in The Prey series, is a suspenseful story of courage, survival, and doing what’s right, no matter how hard. The Maze Runner meets The Hunger Games in this heart-pounding trilogy where orphaned teens, soon to be hunted for sport, must fight for a better life. Riveting action, intense romance, and gripping emotion make this fast-paced adventure a standout. Fifteen escaped and found their way to freedom, but Book, Hope, and Cat can’t settle into their new life knowing the rest of the Less Thans and Sisters are still imprisoned. Now the teens must retrace their steps to save the others and thwart the Republic’s dark plans to destroy those deemed different, even as relationships are tested and the path back is filled with danger. With new enemies lurking, the group must put their fate in the hands of unexpected allies, and must ask themselves how far they’re willing to go to free their friends.

Experten sehen darin die Wieder­kehr eines alten Maya-Kultes. Schleierhaft nur, wer dahinterstecken könnte. Allein der angesehene Archäologe Lyman Tingley scheint mehr zu wissen. Doch ehe er sich seinem ehemaligen Schüler Scott Daggart anvertrauen kann, ist Tingley tot. Sein Herz wurde herausgerissen, neben dem Leichnam ein handgefertigtes Kreuz …
