Alicia Berensonová má napohľad dokonalý život. Je známa maliarka, vydatá za vychyteného módneho fotografa, ktorého nadovšetko miluje, a býva v nádhernom dome obklopenom zeleňou v luxusnej štvrti Londýna. A predsa jedného večera z neznámych príčin svojho muža chladnokrvne zavraždí. Do hlavy mu vypáli päť rán a odvtedy neprehovorí. Aliciino mlčanie premení obyčajnú rodinnú tragédiu na verejnú záhadu, ktorá Aliciu neslávne preslávi. Cena jej umeleckých diel prudko vzrastie, zatiaľ čo ona sama postupne upadá do zabudnutia za múrmi psychiatrického ústavu. Psychoterapeuta Thea Fabera Aliciin osud od začiatku fascinuje a keď dostane príležitosť s ňou pracovať, urobí všetko pre to, aby prehovorila. Terapia pomaly napreduje a vzťah medzi ním a pacientkou je čoraz dôvernejší. Hľadanie pravdy však na povrch vyplaví skutočnosti, ktoré môžu celkom rozvrátiť aj Faberov vlastný život... Psychologický triler s detektívnymi črtami Agathy Christie, nádychom gréckej tragédie a hitchcockovsky pomaly gradujúcim napätím, ktoré vyústi do nepredvídateľného šokujúceho finále. Ambiciózny debut, ktorý žne úspechy po celom svete a chystá sa preniknúť aj na filmové plátna.

Zélie si pamätá, že kedysi bola celá krajina Orïsha plná mágie. Ohnivci zapaľovali plamene, Vlnopáni rozkazovali vlnám a Zéliina mama Smrtonoska vzývala duše mŕtvych. No potom mágia kamsi zmizla a všetko sa zmenilo. Všetkých Madžiov na príkaz krutého kráľa vyvraždili, Zélie obrali o mamu a jej ľud o nádej. Teraz však má Zélie jedinečnú šancu zaútočiť na kráľovskú rodinu a vrátiť krajine mágiu. Musí zabrániť korunnému princovi, aby definitívne zničil mágiu, a s pomocou princeznej mu prejsť cez rozum. Na každom kroku na ne číha nebezpečenstvo, z krovín vrčia snežné lepardnéry a vo vodách vyčkávajú pomstychtiví duchovia. Najväčšou hrozbou pre krajinu sa však môže stať práve Zélie – ak sa nenaučí kontrolovať svoju moc. Tomi Adeyemi nadväzuje na tradíciu veľkých fantasy románov. Navyše prišla s neošúchaným námetom čerpajúcim z africkej mytológie a mágie. Autorkin štýl je plný farbistej fantázie, napínavú tajomnú atmosféru spestrujú prvky africkej kultúry a opisy rôznych druhov mágie. Preto sa nemožno čudovať, že filmoví producenti ihneď prejavili záujem a odkúpili práva na sfilmovanie príbehu.

An exhilarating new adventure in the bestselling Oregon Files series. For six novels, Clive Cussler has brought readers into the world of the Oregon, a seemingly dilapidated ship on the outside, but on the inside packed with sophisticated equipment, and captained by the rakish, one-legged Juan Cabrillo. But the Oregon's seventh adventure is its most remarkable yet. On 7 December 1941, four brothers exploring a shaft on a small island off the coast of Washington state make an extraordinary discovery, only to be interrupted by news of Pearl Harbour. In the present, Cabrillo, chasing the remnants of a crashed satellite in the Argentine jungle, makes a shocking discovery of his own. His search to untangle the mystery leads him, first, to that small island and its secret, and then much farther back, to an ancient Chinese expedition, and a curse that seems to have survived for over five hundred years. If Cabrillo's team is successful in its quest, the reward could be incalculable. If not . . . the only reward is death. Praise for Clive Cussler: 'Clive Cussler is hard to beat.'

"For four novels, Clive Cussler has charted the exploits of the Oregon, a covert ship completely dilapidated on the outside but on the inside packed with sophisticated weaponry and intelligence-gathering equipment. Captained by the rakish, one-legged Juan Cabrillo and manned by a crew of former military and spy personnel, it is a private enterprise, available for any government agency that can afford it - and now Cussler sends the Oregon on its most extraordinary mission yet." The crew has just completed a top secret mission against Iran in the Persian Gulf when they come across a cruise ship adrift at sea. Hundreds of bodies litter its deck, and, as Cabrillo tries to determine what happened, explosions rack the length of the ship. Barely able to escape with his own life and that of the liner's sole survivor, Cabrillo finds himself plunged into a mystery as intricate - and as perilous - as any he has ever known and pitted against a cult with monstrously lethal plans for the human race ... plans he may already be too late to stop.

Cometh the Hour opens with the reading of a suicide note, which has devastating consequences for Harry and Emma Clifton, Giles Barrington and Lady Virginia.

In 1846, a US whaling vessel, Princess, is struck by a mysterious and deadly tropical illness. In desperation, the captain shores his ship on a hostile island - where, miraculously, his crew are saved by a cure administered by the natives.

As Director of the National Underwater and Marine Agency, Dirk Pitt has always had a knack for finding trouble. This time, though, trouble has found him. On a NUMA mission to the Black Sea to locate the wreck of a lost Ottoman Empire ship, Pitt and his friend Al Giordino respond to an urgent Mayday from a nearby freighter. But by the time they reach the area there's no one left alive just dead bodies and the smell of sulphur in the air. When a massive blast from the stern suddenly scuttles the ship, Pitt and Giordino are lucky not to add to the death toll. As they investigate the fate of the lost ship, they're plunged deep into an extraordinary series of discoveries. And when connections emerge between a desperate attempt in 1917 to preserve the wealth and power of the Romanov empire, a Cold War bomber lost with a deadly cargo, modern-day nuclear smugglers and a brilliant engineer developing cutting-edge drone technology, Pitt is face with the most dangerous challenge of his career. One that will threaten the lives of his family and friends.

Richard sa pripútal a zostal na palube, Tami poslal do podpalubia. Poslednou Taminou spomienkou bol Richardov výkrik. Potom nastala tma. Keď sa Tami po niekoľkých hodinách prebrala a vyšla na palubu, zistila, že Richardov bezpečnostný popruh sa utrhol.
