Life is perfect for Anna Walsh. She has the "Best Job in the World" as a PR exec for a top-selling urban beauty brand, a lovely apartment in New York, and a perfect husband - the love of her life, Aidan Maddox. Until the morning she wakes up in her mammy's living room in Dublin with stitches in her face, a dislocated knee, and completely smashed-up hands - and no memory of how she got there. While her mammy plays nursemaid (just like all of her favorite nurses on her soaps), and her sister Helen sits in wet hedges doing her private investigator work for Lucky Star PI, Anna tries to get better and keeps wondering why Aidan won't return her phone calls or e-mails. Recuperating from her injuries, a mystified Anna returns to Manhattan. Slowly beginning to remember what happened, she sets off on a search to find Aidan - a hilarious quest involving lilies (she can't stop smelling them), psychics, mediums, and anyone in the city who can promise her a reunion with her beloved.

V útulku spasiteľov niet priestoru pre radosť a nádej. Väčšinu chovancov priviedli na toto skľučujúce miesto v útlom detstve proti ich vôli. Krčia sa pod krutovládou mníchov, ktorých zverstvá a nemilosrdnosť majú jediný cieľ – slúžiť Obesenému spasiteľovi. Útulok je rozľahlá pevnosť plná spletitých chodieb nasiaknutých pachom storočí náboženského zápalu. V jednej z nich stojí chlapec a cez tmavé okno pozoruje čerstvé prírastky do tohto pozemského pekla. Má štrnásť alebo pätnásť rokov – svojím vekom si nie je istý rovnako ako ani ostatní chovanci. Dávno zabudol svoje pravé meno, teraz mu hovoria Cale. Nepamätá si nič z predchádzajúceho života a netuší, čo ho čaká v budúcnosti... Ani to, že ho nazvú Anjelom smrti.

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.

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.
