      Imagine the universe as a forest, patrolled by numberless and nameless predators. In this forest, stealth is survival – any civilisation that reveals its location is prey. Earth has. Now the predators are coming. Crossing light years, they will reach Earth in four centuries' time. But the sophons, their extra-dimensional agents and saboteurs, are already here. Only the individual human mind remains immune to their influence. This is the motivation for the Wallfacer Project, a last-ditch defence that grants four individuals almost absolute power to design secret strategies, hidden through deceit and misdirection from human and alien alike. Three of the Wallfacers are influential statesmen and scientists, but the fourth is a total unknown. Luo Ji, an unambitious Chinese astronomer, is baffled by his new status. All he knows is that he's the one Wallfacer that Trisolaris wants dead.

      Pokračovanie bestsellerového románu Narodené v Auschwitzi V roku 1945 prekročila Ester brány Auschwitzu. Napriek mizivej šanci prežila, no jej srdcervúca cesta sa tam len začína. V koncentračnom tábore porodila krásne svetlovlasé dieťa, len aby jej ho vzápätí odobrali a darovali nemeckej rodine. Ale vojna sa už skončila a Ester teraz túži nájsť svoju malú dcérku. Európa je však v troskách, židovské rodiny násilne rozdelili a každý zúfalo pátra po svojich blízkych. Vo všetkých sirotincoch a nemocniciach, ktoré navštívi, si Ester prezerá tváre uplakaných batoliat a pri pohľade na každú svetlovlasú hlavičku a každé modrooké dieťa sa jej rozbúši srdce. Lenže ako plynú mesiace a roky, nádej, že svoju dcérku nájde, sa pomaly vytráca. A Ester si kladie otázku, či je malá Pippa vôbec v bezpečí – alebo či ten zázrak, čo jej zachránil život, ju nakoniec nevystavil ešte väčšiemu nebezpečenstvu. Objíme ešte dieťa, ktoré má na ruke rovnaké tetovanie?

      Posledný vydesený výkrik a v nasledujúcej sekunde sa všetko okolo nej rozkrútilo. Koč sa s ňou kotúľal, kým neprišiel zničujúci náraz, ktorý rozmetal jej myšlienky a otriasol ňou až do špiku kostí. Potom prišla bolesť a ľadová voda. A keď všetky pocity zmizli, načiahla sa za ňou ruka a vzápätí ju obklopila tma… Uprostred ničivej búrky sa koč s tromi cestujúcimi – sirom Johnom Mayfieldom, lady Mariannou Mayfieldovou a jej spoločníčkou – zrúti z útesu a navždy zmení ich osudy. V koči napokon nájdu iba dve osoby – vážne zraneného sira Johna a ženu so vzácnym prsteňom na ruke, ktorá je v bezvedomí. Zachránená sa preberie v neznámom dome a zápasí s útržkovitými spomienkami na nehodu, so znepokojujúcimi snami o dieťati, ktoré sa ocitlo v ohrození, a s tajomstvom skrytom v prsteni na svojej ruke. Obklopená neznámymi tvárami a prenasledovaná zlou predtuchou si zrazu uvedomí, že nemôže veriť vôbec nikomu a že musí odhaliť pravdu o tom, čo sa stalo počas tej búrlivej noci, hoci nebezpečenstvo rastie a nepriatelia sa sprisahali proti nej.

      The Midwife of Auschwitz
    • 2025

      INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER The cult Japanese bestseller about a female gourmet cook and serial killer, and the journalist intent on cracking her case, inspired by a true story There are two things that I simply cannot tolerate: feminists and margarine. Gourmet cook Manako Kajii sits in the Tokyo Detention House convicted of the serial murders of lonely businessmen, whom she is said to have seduced with her delicious home cooking. The case has captured the nation's imagination, but Kajii refuses to speak with the press, entertaining no visitors. That is until journalist Rika Machida writes a letter asking for her recipe for beef stew, and Kajii can't resist writing back. Rika, the only woman in her news office, works late each night, rarely cooking more than ramen. As the visits unfold between her and the steely Kajii, they are closer to a master class in food than journalistic research. Rika hopes this gastronomic exchange will help her soften Kajii, but it seems that Rika might be the one changing. With each meal she eats, something is awakening in her body. Do she and Kajii have more in common than she once thought? Inspired by the real case of a convicted con woman and serial killer--the "Konkatsu Killer"--Asako Yuzuki's Butter is a vivid, unsettling exploration of misogyny, obsession, romance, and the transgressive pleasures of food in Japan.

      1967: Ye Wenjie witnesses Red Guards beat her father to death during China's Cultural Revolution. This singular event will shape not only the rest of her life but also the future of mankind. Four decades later, Beijing police ask nanotech engineer Wang Miao to infiltrate a secretive cabal of scientists after a spate of inexplicable suicides. Wang's investigation will lead him to a mysterious online game and immerse him in a virtual world ruled by the intractable and unpredicatable interaction of its three suns. This is the Three-Body Problem and it is the key to everything: the key to the scientists' deaths, the key to a conspiracy that spans light-years and the key to the extinction-level threat humanity now faces.
