      Kelvin Klosmo nie je len nový žiak v škole, je nový žiak v galaktickej škole v hlbinách vesmíru! Ako syn dvoch najväčších géniov na Zemi má byť najmúdrejším chalanom v celom vesmíre. Alebo si to aspoň všetci myslia. A tak Kelvin možno trochu klamal o svojej genialite, aby lepšie zapadol medzi ostatných. A možno sa jeden šialený vedec chystá ovládnuť vesmír, pokiaľ mu v tom Kelvin nezabráni. Možno je osud všetkých spečatený. Aspoň si Kelvin už nebude musieť robiť starosti s domácou úlohou z matiky.

      The plot revolves around a computer file that survives the raid on Osama bin Laden, leading to a high-stakes mission aimed at assassinating four American soldiers across various regions. Iranian intelligence initially supports this operation but faces unexpected complications when a former terrorist leader intervenes, driven by his own quest for revenge. The narrative unfolds through a tense chase that spans the Middle East, Europe, Canada, and New England, intertwining themes of vengeance and international intrigue.

      Historický epos barokového básnika Johna Miltona preložil Marián Andričík. Dielo po prvý raz vychádza v slovenčine. Rozsiahla epická báseň Stratený raj sa považuje za jednu z najvýznmnejších diel napísaných v angličtine. Je napísaná blankversom - jambickým nerýmovaným veršom. Príbeh začína v pekle, kde sa Satan - hlavný protagonista eposu - a jeho nasledovatelia spamätávajú z porážky vo vojne proti Bohu. Satan im rozpráva o stvorení nového sveta a nového druhu bytostí podľa dávneho proroctva. Ľudia - Adam a Eva - majú v raji zakázané jediné - jesť zo Stromu poznania. Satan začína svoju púť po raji, kde prevtelený za hada zvedie Evu k prvému hriechu - ochutnaniu jablka zo Stromu poznania. Boh posiela svojho Syna súdiť vinníkov - Eva s Adamom sú vyhnaní z raja.
