D. Edwards Knihy

Veselá kniha o neveselej prítomnosti a smutnej budúcnosti vzbudila pozornosť redakcií, ktoré uverejnili ohlasy významných osobností. Mark Twain sa pri čítaní diela občas rozplakal a usmial, s poznámkou, že zomrel v pravý čas. Jean Paul Belmondo vyjadril záujem o filmovú adaptáciu a rád by hral éterickú Zuzanku. Barack Obama komentoval zásah na Balkáne a vyjadril potrebu zlepšiť meno krajiny vo svete. George Bernard Shaw lamentoval nad tým, že na svete už bolo všetko, okrem ukradnutej ruky, a mrzelo ho, že mu takýto nápad nenapadol. Edit Piaf pocítila symbolickú nostalgiu a slzy pri spomienke na životné osudy hrdinov, pričom spomenula aj Beethovena. Vladimír Putin zdôraznil, že prosperita spočíva v poriadku a akceptovaní kolobehu života, pričom má v úmysle osloviť autora a pozvať ho do svojho konzultačného zboru. Autor paroduje súčasné seriály, pričom paródia sama o sebe slúži ako zrkadlo pre divákov a čitateľov. Súčasná slovenská literatúra sa žánrom paródie príliš nezaoberá, a preto je dielo považované za oživenie v tejto oblasti.

Rune Saint John, heir to the fallen Sun Court, finds clues to his Companion Brand’s past on a mission into the ruins of his family estate. But while he’s still agonizing over whether to tell Brand, a more pressing matter arises. Rune’s ward, Max, is nearly kidnapped by the Hanged Man, who has asserted a marriage claim on the young man. Rune isn’t about to lose Max to the Hanged Man and his court, the Gallows, which is known to have unhealthy interests in necromancy and mutilation magics. Urgency will lead Rune and Brand to the family of an old servant, whose own son has fallen into the Hanged Man’s orbit. In going to her aid, Rune may find a way to free both young men, but only if he’s willing to gamble everything on a decision that will change his life forever.

As Rune Saint John grapples with the challenges of assuming the Sun Throne, a powerful barrier appears around New Atlantis's famed rejuvenation center. But who could have created such formidable magic ... what do they want from the immortality clinic ... and what remains of the dozens trapped inside? Though Rune and his lifelong bodyguard Brand are tasked with investigating the mysterious barrier, Rune is also busy settling into his new life at court. Claiming his father's throne has irrevocably thrown him into the precarious world of political deception, and he must secure relationships with newfound allies

How does the Christian doctrine of creation square with the picture of an evolving universe we receive from science today? How do the badly predatory behavior and wasteful extinction of whole species fit in with a Christian understanding? These and a host of related questions raised by ordinary experience are tackled in this important and original work from theologian Denis Edwards. From providence and miracles to resurrection and intercessory prayer, Edwards shows how a basically noninterventionist model of divine action does justice to the universe as we know it and also to central convictions of Christian faith about the goodness of God, the promises of God, and the fulfillment of creation. Here is wonderfully lucid theology supporting a vision of how God is at work in the universe.

A mystical tale of a half Scythian, half Mongolian warrior called 'Manu Kai', who was born to a Scythian tribal Chieftain. Set in Scythia around 2400 B.C., the raw brutality of the age, and his bitter and justifiable hatred of the rising Roman Empire, creates conflict between his role within the Agari priesthood and his duty as a warrior and future leader of his people. He is destined to face many trials and tribulations along the way, but perhaps the greatest trial of all will be facing his own inner demons which threaten to engulf him at every turn, and will eventually drive him to the very edge of reason.
