Projekt Noe – tajný vládny experiment, ktorého cieľom je premeniť ľudské telo na smrtiacu zbraň. Lenže čosi sa škaredo pokazí. Dvanásť testovaných subjektov utečie a roznesie vírus meniaci ľudí na ešte nenásytnejšie, smrtiacejšie a prakticky nezničiteľné bytosti. Trinásty subjekt, šesťročné dievča menom Amy, zachráni agent FBI. Spolu utečú do oregonských vrchov, ďaleko od civilizácie zasiahnutej katastrofálnymi dôsledkami Projektu Noe. Priechod prináša vari až priveľmi reálnu víziu sveta, kde vládne strach a pud sebazáchovy a kde osud ľudstva možno spočíva na pleciach zvláštneho tichého dievčatka. Ambiciózny, silný príbeh z pera oceňovaného a rešpektovaného autora Justina Cronina epickým rozmachom zahŕňa prvky katastrofy a boja o prežitie, sebaobetovania, ale i nádeje, a zaraďuje sa medzi najčítanejšie tituly leta 2010.

Set in 1890s West Africa, the story follows twin sisters Hassana and Husseina, who are kidnapped and sold into slavery after a devastating raid. Despite their separation, they maintain a deep connection through shared dreams of water, symbolizing their hope and resilience. The narrative explores themes of survival, sisterhood, and the enduring bond between them, raising the question of whether their paths will ultimately converge again.

Shortlisted for the Commonwealth Writers' Prize and Costa Novel of the Year, this international bestseller has become a reading group classic. We don't want to tell you too much about this book. It is a truly special story and we don't want to spoil it. Nevertheless, you need to know something, so we will just say this: It is extremely funny, but the African beach scene is horrific. The story starts there, but the book doesn't. And it's what happens afterwards that is most important. Once you have read it, you'll want to tell everyone about it. When you do, please don't tell them what happens either. The magic is in how it unfolds.
