Nowy zbiór opowiadań Andrzeja Pilipiuka. Robert Storm, doktor Skórzewski, inspektor Paweł Nowak i inni powracają! Na tym jednak nie koniec niespodzianek! Pewien stary, przeznaczony do wyburzenia budynek skrywa w sobie pewną tajemnicę. Robert Storm pragnie rozwikłać jedną z tych zagadek. Otóż na terenie ruin doszło do niewyjaśnionego zniknięcia. Tymczasem na horyzoncie pojawia się dziewczyna, która być może zostanie kobietą jego życia. Niestety Robert naraża się przy okazji bardzo niebezpiecznym ludziom. Doktor Skórzewski powraca do nas w opowieści pełnej niezwykłego humoru. Znowu stanie twarzą w twarz ze zjawiskami, których rozumem ogarnąć nie sposób. Natomiast inspektor Paweł Nowak ma spore kłopoty, a to za sprawą pewnej wrocławskiej mumii. Na tym jednak nie koniec. W opowiadaniu "Wilcze leże" przeniesiemy się w czasy II wojny światowej. Czasy dodajmy pełne brutalności i okrucieństwa, jednak fascynujące po dziś dzień. Dzięki tej książce możesz zanurzyć się w świat opowieści, w którym zupełnie zaciera się granica między tym, co realne a tym, co niezwykłe bądź nadprzyrodzone. Andrzej Pilipiuk kolejny raz zaprasza swoich wielbicieli w podróż po granicach wyobraźni, a być może i daleko poza nie. I czyni to z właściwym sobie talentem i poczuciem humoru. Od tych historii wprost trudno się oderwać i stanowią one kolejny dowód na to, że talent tego, jakże cenionego pisarza nie gaśnie z biegiem czasu, lecz ma się równie dobrze, co za czasów Jakuba Wędrowycza.

Murder by the Sword Three people were dead, their heads bashed in, their bodies hacked with a samurai sword. All three victims were Japanese. The murder weapon was traced to Nick Martin, a veteran of Iwo Jima. Nick had spent fifteen pain-ridden years in and out of Army hospitals. He tried to drown his memories of the horror, but whisky only put him right back in the middle of that fierce battle. Nick drank a fifth the night of the killing. That’s the kind of case the police call “open and shut.” But Ed Rivers, a private detective, was a friend of Nick Martin’s. And no one was shutting the door of a death cell on Nick-not while Rivers could still go after the real, fiendishly clever murderer.<

Zaczyna się jak u Hitchcocka. W dodatku nie od trzęsienia, lecz od całkowitej zagłady Ziemi. A potem… napięcie wciąż rośnie. Występują: * Kosmiczni Nomadzi, którzy rąbnęli 5 milionów książek razem z opakowaniem, czyli gmachem Biblioteki Narodowej * Przypadkowi turyści przeniesieni w czasie, ze swoich światów wrzuceni na dno średniowiecznego slumsu: nauczyciel informatyki, nastolatek z Warszawy, szlachcianka spod XVIII-wiecznego Lublina. W Norwegii Anno Domini 1559 muszą przeżyć. I wypełnić misję - odnaleźć oko jelenia, wpierw ustaliwszy, co to, u diabła, jest! * XVI-wieczni hanzeatyccy kupcy z duszą wojowników i explorerów, zaniepokojeni czarnymi chmurami, jakie zebrały się na Hanzą. Jej wrogowie właśnie zwierają szeregi, a byli sojusznicy krążą jak kruki nad padliną. Zapinamy pasy. Biuro Podróży Pilipuk Travel zaprasza na kolejną wyprawę w czasie i przestrzeni.

Witaj w świecie, z którego tak blisko do… piachu Wyobraź sobie, że dziś znaczy przed wiekami, a doczekanie jutra graniczy z cudem… Norwegia A.D. 1559 to czasy zabójcze dla trojga współczesnych Ziemian. W dniu zagłady, ratując skórę, oddali się w niewolę mrocznego strażnika pamięci Kosmosu. Przed nimi straceńcza misja pod nadzorem bezwzględnego kapo, kombinacji futrzaka z maszyną. Swoją misję mają hanzeatyccy kupcy, których drogi krzyżują się ze ścieżkami naszych bohaterów. Bo „Oko” to nie tylko wielotomowa, ale też wielowątkowa i wielopiętrowa opowieść z widokiem na Wszechświat. Jak to u Pilipiuka – karuzela charakterów, epok, losów, a i tak to nasze mózgi okazują się największą tajemnicą. Nawet wygrzebane z czaszki. Zapinamy pasy. Biuro Podróży Pilipiuk Travel zaprasza na kolejną wyprawę w czasie i przestrzeni. W programie: survival na lądzie i morzu, akcja do utraty tchu.<
