Този колапс е предвиден научно… и все пак, въпреки очевидните и съкрушителни доказателства, мнозина още се опитват да извличат печалба от тези последни дни на една от най-великите империи, които човечеството е познавало. „Емперо“ е вълнуващият завършек на награждаваната бестселърова трилогия за взаимозависимостта, епична приключенска космическа опера от носителя на „Хюго“ Джон Скалзи.<

Plenty of dead ones get dragged out of the dark, roily water that runs through the greatest city in the world. The Harbor Police take only routine notice. But when the cadaver conies in installments — a torso, a leg, an arm — that’s murder... There are lots of murders, sure, but what made Lieutenant Steven Koski do a double-take on this particular butchery was the gadget that came with the torso. In its own frightful little way it was a weapon — the kind of weapon that kills a lot of people kind of quick. And Koski began to move — but fast. The murder marathon took him from a Coast Guard auxiliary vessel (cargo: one stunning blonde) to a waterfront dive. From a union leader’s hangout to an executive’s luxurious office. From a Chinese laundry to a ship being loaded with sudden death... And all the way, a long thin shape, detestable and horrible, paced him. Koski drove himself frantically onward. He had to catch that thing — had to...<

Ми звикли, що з мікробами слід боротися. А якщо насправді вони – ваші захисники? Ця книжка переверне уявлення людства про мікроби й гігієну. Наводячи цікаві факти з наукових досліджень, Джессіка Снайдер Сакс розповідає, які мікроби є гарними, а які не дуже, звідки вони беруться і як потрапляють до нашого тіла; чи дійсно вони сприяють появі хвороб, або, навпаки, можуть їх подолати; як позбутися мікробів і чи варто взагалі це робити.<

Travis Parker has everything a man could want: a good job, loyal friends, even a waterfront home in small-town North Carolina. In full pursuit of the good life—boating, swimming, and regular barbecues with his good-natured buddies—he holds the vague conviction that a serious relationship with a woman would only cramp his style. That is, until Gabby Holland moves in next door. Despite his attempts to be neighborly, the appealing redhead seems to have a chip on her shoulder about him…and the presence of her longtime boyfriend doesn’t help. Despite himself, Travis can’t stop trying to ingratiate himself with his new neighbor, and his persistent efforts lead them both to the doorstep of a journey that neither could have foreseen. Spanning the eventful years of young love, marriage and family, The Choice ultimately confronts us with the most heart wrenching question of all: how far would you go to keep the hope of love alive?<

Magic is about to meet murder in Willow Bay

Angela Martin lives a pretty normal life. As normal as the life of a witch who can talk to animals can be, anyway.

Until she shows up to work one day and finds a dead body.

Of course, in a small town like Willow Bay this means everyone is obviously on edge. Between the cops who have never investigated a murder before, the crazy hot but infuriating guy Angela is sure has something to do with the murder and clients threatening to move to Canada, Angela starts to wonder if things are ever going to be normal again.

But as Angela comes closer to the truth, she finds herself in the murderer's crosshairs. Will she be able to solve the case before she becomes the next victim?

The Purr-fect Crime is the first book in the Willow Bay Witches series of paranormal cozy mysteries. It's a full-length novel full of funny and sarcastic best friends, a touch of magic, a snarky talking cat and a little bit of romance.

Author note: This book was updated (with new editing!) on October 15th, 2016.

Angela Martin was expecting to have a normal, uneventful week in the small town of Willow Bay. The universe, however, had other ideas.

When a local gossip is murdered while walking her dog, Angela knows she needs to find Sprinkles, who ran away during the murder. After all, being a witch who can talk to animals, finding Sprinkles might be the only way to find the murderer. Especially since the victim had more enemies than most people have Facebook friends.

But she has to investigate without the police chief suspecting anything, she has to deal with Bee's jealousy about a dog getting attention, and she has to try and get along with Sophie's mom's new boyfriend.

And just to complicate things even further, the infuriating but crazy hot Jason Black is back in town, and this time, it sounds like it's for good.

Angela is pretty sure she can handle all this crazy in her life. But what she doesn't realize is just how dangerous the murderer really is...

Barking up the Wrong Tree is the second book in the Willow Bay Witches series of paranormal cozy mysteries. It's a full-length novel full of funny and sarcastic best friends, a touch of magic, a snarky talking cat and a little bit of romance.

When vet clinic owner and witch Angela Martin is called to the farm which houses one of the most famous former racehorses in the country, she's super excited. After all, it's not everyday you get to meet a horse of Seabiscuit-level fame.

But when the horses' owner is killed only feet away from where Angela was working, that excitement quickly turns to horror. And worse - the patronizing police chief of the town next to Willow Bay thinks she's one of the prime suspects.

Angela has to find the murderer fast, before she finds herself in jail. But she also has to contend with Sophie trying to discover if she has more magical powers, and a mysterious new businessman in town who seems to be interested in buying up large parts of downtown Willow Bay. Not to mention finding time for that promised date with Jason Black.

Angela has a tough week in front of her. But she has no idea how dangerous it's about to get as she delves into the world of horse racing to try and find the killer.

Just Horsing Around is the third book in the Willow Bay Witches series of paranormal cozy mysteries. It's a full-length novel full of funny and sarcastic best friends, a touch of magic, a snarky talking cat and a little bit of romance.

Willow Bay's Summer Festival was supposed to mean fun... not murder!

The annual summer festival has come to Willow Bay, and for Angela, that means being in charge of the petting zoo. She thought the worst she was going to have to deal with was overly energetic piglets and some argumentative goats, but all that changed when a woman appeared dead in the pig pen on just the second morning of the festival.

Unfortunately for Angela, Sophie and Charlotte, the victim worked for a law firm, and they quickly find that getting information out of lawyers is a lot more difficult than they expected. And on top of everything else, Angela discovers that Matt Smith is trying to buy the property her vet clinic sits on.

Angela’s on a mission to stop Matt Smith from turning Willow Bay into a modern monstrosity, as well as finding the murderer. But when Angela finds herself in the murderer’s crosshairs, she realizes she needs to find the guilty party before she becomes the next victim…

Lipstick on a Pig is the fourth book in the Willow Bay Witches series of paranormal cozy mysteries. It's a full-length novel full of funny and sarcastic best friends, a touch of magic, a snarky talking cat and a little bit of romance.

From the Pulitzer Prize-winning author of A Thousand Acres and the New York Times best-selling Last Hundred Years Trilogy, a captivating, brilliantly imaginative story of three extraordinary animals—and a young boy—whose lives intersect in Paris Paras, short for “Perestroika,” is a spirited racehorse at a racetrack west of Paris. At dusk, one afternoon she pushes open the door of her stall—she’s a curious filly—and, after traveling through the night, arrives by chance in the City of Light. She’s dazzled, and often mystified, by the sights, sounds and smells around her, but she isn’t afraid. Soon she meets an elegant dog, a German shorthair pointer named Frida, who knows how to get by without attracting the attention of suspicious Parisians. Paras and Frida coexist for a time in the city’s lush green spaces, nourished by Frida’s strategic trips to the bakery and the butchershop. They keep company with two irrepressible ducks, and an opinionated raven. But then Paras meets a human boy, Etienne, and discovers a new, otherworldly part of Paris: the ivy-walled house where the boy and his nearly-one-hundred-year-old great-grandmother live in seclusion. As the cold weather and Christmas near, the unlikeliest of friendships bloom. But how long can a runaway horse stay undiscovered in Paris? How long can a boy keep her hidden and all to himself? Jane Smiley’s beguiling new novel is itself an adventure that celebrates curiosity, ingenuity, and the desire of all creatures for true love and freedom.<
