Without Mercy

On the pavement, Hannah Bernstein was trying to haul herself up, clutching at the railings as Dillon got to her. “You're all right, just hold on to me.” But there was blood coming down her face, and he was afraid. In Jack Higgins’ acclaimed bestseller Dark Justice, intelligence operative Sean Dillon and his colleagues in Britain and the United States beat back a terrible enemy, but at an equally terrible cost. One of them was shot, another run down in the street. Both were expected to survive – but only one of them does. As Detective Superintendent Hannah Bernstein of Special Branch lies recuperating in the hospital, a dark shadow from her and Dillon’s past, scarred deep by hatred, steals across the room and finishes the job. Consumed by grief and rage, Dillon, Blake, Ferguson, and all who loved Hannah swear vengeance, no matter where it takes them. But they have no idea of the searing journey upon which they are about to embark – nor of the war that will change them all.<

Fluke

He was a stringy mongrel, wandering the streets of the city, driven by a ravenous hunger and hunting a quarry he could not define. But he was also something more. Somewhere in the depths of his consciousness was a memory clawing its way to the surface, tormenting him, refusing to let him rest. The memory of what he had once been—a man.<

Fuks

<p>Wkrótce potem opuściłem te okolice, po złożeniu ostatniej wizyty na własnym grobie. Nie wiem dokładnie, dlaczego to zrobiłem; zapewne chciałem w specyficzny sposób złożyć sobie wyrazy uszanowania. Był to dla mnie koniec pewnego etapu, niewykluczone, że koniec życia. Na grobie leżały świeże kwiaty. Nie zapomniano o mnie.</p><p>Wspomnienia ojca, męża, przyjaciela zblakły z czasem, zawsze jednak zajmowały istotne miejsce w moich myślach. Od tego czasu moje życie potoczyło się inaczej. Wspomnienia z przeszłości nawiedzały mnie jeszcze co jakiś czas, zmieniały się jednak towarzyszące im emocje. Szybko stały się to uczucia psa, jak gdyby po zakończeniu poszukiwań psia natura wzięła górę nad ludzką duszą – duszą, która stanowiła o moim człowieczeństwie. Czułem się wolny jak ptak. Wolny, by żyć jak pies.</p><

Giants

Human society on Jevlen was falling apart -- and it looked as if JEVEX, the immense super-computer that managed all Jevlenese affairs, was at the heart of the matter. Except that the problems didn't stop when JEVEX was shut down. People were changing -- or being changed. It was almost as if the Jevlenese were being possessed…Meanwhile, in a very different universe, where magic worked and nothing physical was predictable, holy men caught glimpses of another place, a place where the shape of objects remained unchanged by motion, and cause led directly and logically to effect. And the best part was that when the heart was pure, the mind was focused, and circumstances were right, some lucky souls could actually make the transition to that other universe. If only they all could…<

In the 21st century, scientists Victor Hunt and Chris Danchekker, doing research on Ganymede, attract a small band of friendly aliens lost in time, who begin to reveal something of the origin of mankind.

Inherit the Stars

Giants

The man on the moon was dead. They called him Charlie. He had big eyes, abundant body hair and fairly long nostrils. His skeletal body was found clad in a bright red spacesuit, hidden in a rocky grave. They didn't know who he was, how he got there, or what had killed him. All they knew was that his corpse was 50,000 years old -- and that meant that this man had somehow lived long before he ever could have existed!<

Mission to Minerva

Giants

In Hogan's intriguing fifth SF novel in the series that began with Inherit the Stars (1978), Earth has reestablished contact with the Ganymeans, an alien race that manipulated proto-humans into homo sapiens on Minerva, a planet that once occupied the region of the present asteroid belt. After the Ganymeans migrated to the Giants' Star 20 light-years from Earth, a war on Minerva caused by intelligences from an alternate reality-one of an infinite number suggested by the Multiverse hypothesis-led to the planet's destruction. Now, several decades into the 21st century, people on Earth have developed a means of exploring these realities, including one in which Minerva still exists, and mount a rescue mission to prevent the war on Minerva. While the need to establish the backstory slows the book's first half, Hogan does an excellent job of extrapolating the science from current theories of quantum physics. The second half moves briskly and logically to a satisfying climax, though the villain is straight out of James Bond. Readers who like their science hard will find this one a diamond.<

Osudy dobrého vojáka Švejka za svìtové války

<p>Роман Ярослава Гашека «Похождения бравого солдата Швейка» во время мировой войны» - самый популярный чешский роман. Образ чешского солдата в армии Австро-Венгерской монархии был создан Ярославом Гашеком не сразу. В 1911г. в чешском журнале «Карикатуры» были напечатаны первые рассказы о солдате по имени Швейк («Поход Швейка против Италии», «Швейк закупает церковное вино» и др.). Образ Швейка в этих рассказах сильно отличается от образа его в романе. В 1917г. в Киеве на чешском языке выходит повесть Гашека «Бравый солдат Швейк в плену». Первые наброски к роману Гашек делает в 1916г., в 1921г. начинается публикация романа отдельными выпусками. Смерть писателя в 1923г. прервала его работу над 4 частью романа; её дописал друг Гашека, писатель Карел Ванек, и она вышла в том же 1923г. Последующие издания выходят без написанного Ванеком окончания. «Швейк» - один из первых антивоенных романов XX века. В значительной степени он автобиографичен. В нём соединяются две ведущие художественные линии творчества Гашека: фольклорно-очерковая и сатирико-гиперболическая.</p><
