Только начните говорить «а пошло все на…», и эти слова, как современная магическая мантра, изменят всю вашу жизнь. Посылать все на… очень приятно. А перестать мучиться и наконец начать делать то, что хочется, наплевать на все, что говорят окружающие, и пойти своим собственным путем, — просто волшебное переживание. В этой провокационной, вдохновенной и полной юмора книге Джон Паркин ненавязчиво доказывает, что слова «а пошло все на…» — идеальное западное выражение восточных идей духовного освобождения, релаксации и обретения истинной свободы через понимание, что все сущее не имеет такого уж большого значения (если вообще имеет его). Что касается легкой брутальности этих слов, то нам, представителям западной цивилизации, она необходима, чтобы вырваться из переполненной стрессами, смыслами и комплексами жизни. И для этого не надо совершать ритуальных песнопений, медитировать, ходить в оранжевом и питаться бобовыми. Так узнайте же, как послать на… все свои заботы и проблемы!

Clay was an honest New York City cop driven to bring down the mob and make his city a little safer, even when it seemed like nothing he did made any difference. He always played by the rules until a two-bit junkie hit man destroyed his family and left him for dead. But Clay won’t let himself lie down until he gets one last thing: revenge. Praise for Fuckin’ Lie Down Already Jack Ketchum, author of RED and THE LOST: “This is a small masterpiece. It’s said that the devil’s in the details and Tom got all the details exactly right. I always said Pic was one to watch. Fuck watching. He’s utterly there. A voice to listen to and learn from.” Ed Gorman, author of THE POKER CLUB, THE AUTUMN DEAD and THE DAY THE MUSIC DIED: “Short, tight, effective crime fiction. My kind of writing.” Bill Pronzini, author of SPOOK and STEP TO THE GRAVEYARD EASY: “Hard, hard, hard noir, very well done.” Al Sarrantonio, author of Moonbane and Orangefield: “A potent mix of GoodFellas and the classic 1950 Edmond O’Brien film D.O.A. A pedal-to-the-metal cops and mobsters roller coaster ride- this story delivers!”

If you disliked learning about history in school, it’s because you didn’t have a teacher like this. Intelligent, brutally honest, and crude — learning about history doesn’t suck when you’re learning from The Captain. Each of his 52 lessons bridges the gap between history and everyday life with relatable topics and an outlook that can only be described as “slightly fucked up.”

Прозаическая поэма. В остальном же как всё у автора

Ставший знаковым роман о поколении нулевых в новом издании. Герои молоды, свободны и порочны, для них жизнь — это бегство по порочному кругу. В их крови похоть, безнаказанность и немного любви. Их враг — любопытство. Их козырь — желание бороться до конца. «Каждый из нас бегал по порочному кругу… Или хотя бы тайно об этом мечтал…»

Conner ha sido traído de regreso para un propósito específico: ayudar a salvar a su pueblo del mal que amenaza la existencia de este, y para vengar el brutal asesinato de su madre. Y esta vez piensa encargarse del asunto

La joven y bonita Junko Aoki nació con el don de la piroquinesis: la capacidad de provocar incendios por medio de la mente. Junko aprendió a controlar su poder y a utilizarlo para ajustar cuentas con los criminales a los que la justicia no pudo meter entre rejas. Un fortuito encuentro la llevará a buscar a una joven secuestrada por una banda de depravados. El macabro rastro de cadáveres que Junko deja tras de sí, atrae la atención de dos grupos muy diferentes: una sociedad secreta conocida como los Guardianes y la Brigada de Investigación de Incendios del Departamento de Policía de Tokio. La detective Chikako Ishizu afronta con desconcierto este caso. Su mente racional se va encontrando con evidencias de los poderes piroquinéticos de Junko, poderes en los que se resiste a creer. Abrumada por los numerosos cuerpos carbonizados que encuentra a medida que la investigación avanza, se adentrará cada vez más en un caso que desafía todas las leyes de la lógica. Entretanto, mientras la lucha que Junko libra contra el crimen gana en intensidad, ésta se va dando cuenta de que cada vez es más difícil decidir sobre la vida y la muerte de los inocentes que caen víctimas del fuego cruzado

Trevor Smith has a pretty good idea of the razor’s edge modern society walks, with the vast majority of people completely dependent on reliable sources of electricity and gas, and everything shipped to them at the last possible instant. When a major attack cripples the US’s oil refining capabilities and destroys a significant portion of US fuel reserves, the nation practically runs out of gas overnight. It’s time to see if the preparations he and his cousin Lewis Halsson have made in their hometown of Aspen Hill are enough to carry them through the disaster. His friend Matt Larson isn’t quite so fortunate, caught unprepared and unaware of the grim reality of the situation when a society completely dependent on fuel runs out. He finds himself struggling to adjust as everything falls apart around him, fleeing one step ahead of the chaos to reach Aspen Hill. Now he must depend on his own strength and ingenuity and the help of family and friends to see him through. Yet even Matt can consider himself lucky compared to most. The vast majority of people living in the nation’s cities are on the move, fleeing population centers in all directions with no food and nowhere to go as starvation looms. Meanwhile emergency services scramble to stay ahead of the disaster with insufficient resources, faced with the impossible prospect of aiding tens or even hundreds of millions of desperate refugees. A number of those refugees are making their way to Aspen Hill, which presents a crisis of its own for a town that has nothing to spare and is struggling to care for its citizens

Cuando el mestizo Jim Mackenzie regresa a su pueblo natal, en Arizona, para asistir al funeral de su abuelo, jefe de los indios Navajos, todos sus recuerdos de infancia se ven sacudidos por una escalofriante realidad: una oleada de atroces asesinatos rituales asola la comunidad. Su llegada parece haber despertado misterios hasta el momento ocultos en la sombra; misterios relacionados con la tierra, las raíces y la tradición chamánica que Mackencie tiene que desvelar si quiere poner fin a la mortífera cadena

Él era el tipo de hombre con el que sueñan todas las mujeres, pero al que Lexie nunca habría pensado conocer. Y, sin embargo, allí estaba Cash McKay, el hombre más atractivo del mundo… y que sería la sombra de Lexie Woolf durante cuatro semanas. Lexie se había retirado a la montaña para relajarse durante un mes, pero sabía que no podría hacerlo mientras Cash estuviera cerca. Un guiño, una sonrisa, y se tropezaba con cualquier cosa. Aunque eso servía para que él la tomara en sus brazos y la hiciera sentir la mujer más atractiva de la tierra. ¿Podría aquella relación temporal convertirse en una auténtica historia de amor?

No en todos los deportes o competencias hípicas se puede permanecer más allá del tiempo natural de actividad. Cada uno exige cierto límite. Uno de esos oficios es ser jinete de caballos entrenados para carrera de obstáculos y, para Freddy Croft, con haber pasado los treinta años resultó suficiente. Encara entonces el negocio de transporte de caballos con cierta fortuna, hasta que un día, dentro de su camión, encuentra un cadáver. No toda esa complicación termina todavía cuando, de pronto, asesinan a uno de sus empleados y, el ex jockey, ya no tuvo ninguna duda de que alguien lo quería perjudicar. Inicia una investigación por su cuenta, creyendo que podrá llegar hasta las puertas mismas del extraño complot

La porta tra gli universi è stata chiusa e rischia di non riaprirsi più. Ponter Boddit, lo scienziato Neanderthal, è tornato nella propria dimensione lasciando un solo rimpianto nella nostra: la genetista Mary Vaughan. Per questo convince il consiglio a tentare un pericoloso esperimento: invitare Mary in visita ufficiale sulla Terra parallela in cui sono i Neanderthal, non l’Homo sapiens, la razza dominante. Mary accetta e si avventura fra le sorprese di un mondo capovolto, in cui tra uomini e donne non può esistere il minimo contatto. Ma è solo l’inizio dell’odissea in un altro spazio, un altro tempo

África ha sido devastada por una breve guerra atómica y sus habitantes huyen por el mundo. Al cabo de un año, dos millones de africanos han llegado a Gran Bretaña, y poco después su desesperación se transforma en violencia, la violencia en anarquía, y la anarquía en una guerra civil de consecuencias imprevisibles. Como ha escrito Brian W. Aldiss, esta obra se sitúa “en la tradición de Wyndham, pero los dulces crepúsculos de Wyndham se han apagado y ahora la noche oscura del alma desciende sobre el mundo”

Один из частных случаев теоремы Дургэма, сформулированной Робертом Шекли: «Среди вероятностных миров, порождаемых Искаженным Миром, один в точности похож на наш мир во всем, кроме одной-единственной частности, третий похож на наш мир во всем, кроме двух частностей, и так далее». Не ищите прямых аналогий и аллюзий на наш мир, в вероятностном (параллельно-перпендикулярном) мире история шла своим путем, в чем-то отличным, а в чем-то очень похожим на наш. Но вот люди в этом мире ничем не отличаются от нас, так же любят и страдают, ищут истину и отказываются от справедливости, рождаются и умирают, старятся, болеют, переживают… живут полноценной жизнью… Я не стал давать расшифровки аббревиатур в тексте, так же не разъясняю имена некоторых исторических личностей. Считаю, что заинтересовавшиеся читатели самостоятельно смогут найти в интернете и кто такие были Пу И и Чан Кай Ши, чем прославился Эйзенхауэр и кто работал госсекретарем в его президентской администрации

Amanda Jaffe, the heroine of Wild Justice and Proof Positive, is back – in this tale of international intrigue and murder that leads her deep into the past… and into the crosshairs of a killer. Charlie Marsh, a petty crook and con man, becomes a national hero when he rescues the warden of a state penitentiary during a prison riot, but it doesn't take long before Charlie is wanted in connection with the death of a United States congressman. Now, after living twelve years in the African nation of Batanga, at the mercy of power-mad dictator Jean-Claude Baptiste, Charlie flees for home to face his murder charge after Baptiste learns about Charlie's affair with the tyrant's favorite wife. But it's not just the state of Oregon that's out to get him. Criminal lawyer Amanda Jaffe has her work cut out for her. She must keep Charlie off death row, protect him from Baptiste's secret police, and prevent him from being murdered by a shadowy killer who will do anything to keep the truth about a decade-old crime buried forever

The New York Times bestselling security droid with a heart (though it wouldn’t admit it!) is back! Having captured the hearts of readers across the globe (Annalee Newitz says it’s “one of the most humane portraits of a nonhuman I’ve ever read”) Murderbot has also established Martha Wells as one of the great SF writers of today. No, I didn’t kill the dead human. If I had, I wouldn’t dump the body in the station mall. When Murderbot discovers a dead body on Preservation Station, it knows it is going to have to assist station security to determine who the body is (was), how they were killed (that should be relatively straightforward, at least), and why (because apparently that matters to a lot of people--who knew?) Yes, the unthinkable is about to happen: Murderbot must voluntarily speak to humans! Again! A new standalone adventure in the New York Times-bestselling, Hugo and Nebula Award winning series!

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. 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

He was a Soviet Top Gun—yet left all of the power and glory behind when he engineered the most audacious act of defection in Cold War history. On May 20, 1989, Soviet Air Force Captain Alexander Zuyev escaped from an air base in Soviet Georgia. Under the threat of Russian air defense missiles, and with other fighters in hot pursuit, Zuyev carried out a real-life flight to freedom even more breathtaking then classic works of fiction like The Hunt for Red October and Fire Fox. “In the grand tradition of Solzhenitsyn and Sakharov…. Anyone who seek to understand the collapse of communism must read this gut-wrenching true book.” “Fulcrum is a great story. Alex Zuyev gives us an incredibly clear picture of combat aviation in the Soviet Union, tearing apart the curtain of myth and rumor to show us just how the Russian air force trains and fights.” “Stunning!… I have never encountered a better ‘insider’ book—Fulcrum reads like the very best thrillers, but every word is true. Tough, crisp writing…. Bravo!” “Alex Zuyev was a brave and talented Russian pilot… [and] one of America’s ‘Secret Weapons’ in the Gulf War. He deserves our respect and admiration—his book is a gripping and dramatic adventure.” “Zuyev and McConnell have done us all a great service. Fulcrum is a must-read for anyone who wants to know why the Soviet Union collapsed.”

It is the 31st millennium, and humanity is at the peak of its powers. As the Great Crusade, led by Warmaster Horus, continues to conquer the galaxy, Fulgrim, Primarch of the Emperor's Children, leads his warriors into battle against a vile alien foe. From the blood of this campaign are sown the seeds that will lead this proud Legion to treachery, taking them down the darkest of paths of corruption. Leading up to the carnage of the Dropsite Massacre on Isstvan V, this is the tale of Fulgrim's tragic fall from grace

After living under the radar for the last twenty-six years, Jessica is thrust unexpectedly into her first change, a full ten years late. She wakes up and finds she’s in the middle of a storm. Now that she’s become the only female full-blooded werewolf in town, the supernatural world is already clamoring to take a bite out of her and her new Pack must rise up and protect her. But not everyone is on board. The werewolf Rights of Laws is missing text and the superstitious werewolves think that Jessica means an end to their race. It doesn’t help when Jessica begins to realize she’s more. She can change partway and hold her form, and speak directly to her wolf. But the biggest complication by far is that her alpha father can't control her like he can the rest of his wolves. When a mercenary who’s been hired by the vampires shows up to extract information about the newly turned werewolf only days after her change, they find themselves smack in the middle of a war and there's no choice but to run together. When it’s up to Jessica to negotiate her release against her father’s direct orders, she chooses to take an offer for help instead. In exchange, Jessica must now swear an oath she may end up repaying with her life

Dear reader: The temperature's on "sizzle" again in Beaumont, South Carolina, where peach trees are in season and ripe for the picking. So is its newest entrepreneur, Annie Fortenberry, who has inherited her grandmother's B&B (and its eccentric handyman Erdle Thorney). According to a local psychic she also inherited a spirit from its glory days as a brothel- not the kind of publicity the Peach Tree Bed & Breakfast needs if it's hosting millionaire Max Holt's upcoming wedding! If rumors of a naughty, prank-playing ghost aren't stressful enough, a mysterious man has arrived with an eye on Annie and her master suite. Wes Bridges is all leather and denim, sporting a two-day beard, straddling a Harley, and sending the B&B's testosterone level through the roof. Annie's cool demeanor may be dropping as fast as Wes's jeans, but leave it to her missing ex-husband to dampen the passion! Turns out someone has done him in, and all evidence points to Annie! Wrapped up in a murder plot, Annie must find the killer, save her own neck, and get back to where she was- wrapped up in Wes's strong loving arms… We guarantee that you're going to have as much fun reading Full Bloom as we had writing it! (Even if we were surprised by the ending!) And you won't want to miss the hair-raising shenanigans when Fleas, the hound dog, meets the most cantankerous, snooty, bad-tempered, twenty-two pound orange cat…. Janet & Charlotte

Seventeen-year-old blood witch Morgan is being tormented by nightmares which become reality when she starts sleep-walking into life-threatening situations. In these visions, her dead ex-boyfriend, Cal is trying to kill her. In desperation Morgan turns to her boyfriend Hunter and to other blood witches for help. They plot to trap Cal's spirit but it is in fact the spirit of Cal's mother Selene, who has returned to kill Morgan, the last member of the Belwicket coven so that Selene's coven, the Woodbanes, can rule supreme. Selene's spirit is disguised as a hawk but Morgan also shape-shifts into a hawk and kills Selene in a terrifying mid-air fight. Morgan is now free of the past and can devote herself to developing her powers

In the third novel of her captivating foxhunting series, Rita Mae Brown welcomes readers back for a final tour of a world where most business is conducted on horseback-and stables are de rigueur for even the smallest of estates. Here, in the wealth-studded hills of Jefferson County, Virginia, even evil rides a mount. The all-important New Year's Hunt commences amid swirling light snow. It is the last formal hunt of the season; therefore, participation is required no matter how hungover riders are from toasting the midnight before. On this momentous occasion, "Sister" Jane Arnold, master of the foxhounds, announces her new joint master and the new president of the Jefferson Hunt. And her choices will prove to be no less than shocking. The day's festivities are quickly marred, though, by what appears on the surface to be an unrelated tragedy. Sam Lorillard, former shining star and Harvard Law School alum, lies dead of a stab wound on a baggage cart at the old train station, surrounded by the outcasts and vagabonds who composed his social circle at the end of life. No one can remember when Sam started drinking, but the downward spiral was swift-and seemingly deadly. Murder is followed by scandal when Sister Jane discovers dishonest hunting practices going on in a neighboring club. Unsure whether to turn a blind eye or report the infringement to the proper authority, Sister and her huntsman, Shaker Crown, decide to investigate a little further, with the help of their trusty hounds. But when they come a little too close to the staggering truth-and uncover an unforeseen connection to Lorillard's murder-they realize they might not survive to see the next New Year's Hunt. Intricate, witty, and full of the varied voices of creatures both great and small, Full Cry is an astute reminder that even those with the bluest of blood still bleed red

A Sister Jane - 3, 4

She was already well-known in some circles before March 6, 2018, but that’s probably the first time you heard the name Stormy Daniels. That’s the day she filed a lawsuit against President Donald Trump over a nondisclosure agreement negotiated before the election but never signed. How did Stormy Daniels become the woman willing to take on a president? What is it like to be reviled by some, held up as a beacon of hope by others, and to be an object of fascination to all? In this book, Stormy Daniels tells her whole story for the first time: about how she came to be a leading actress and director in the adult film business, the full truth about her journey from a rough childhood in Louisiana onto the national stage, and everything about the events that led to the nondisclosure agreement and the behind-the-scenes attempts to intimidate her. Stormy is funny, sharp, warm, and impassioned by turns. Her story is a thoroughly American one, of a girl who loved reading and horses and who understood from a very young age what she wanted―and who also knew she’d have to get every step of the way there on her own. People can’t stop talking about Stormy Daniels. And they won’t be able to stop talking about her fresh, surprising, completely candid, nothing-held-back book

She's set her sights on her brother's best friend--now her boss, since she took a temporary job as his nephew's live-in nanny. Only problem? Eric refuses to touch her. That doesn't stop Georgia from seducing him. But an earth-shattering encounter leaves her fully exposed, body and soul. Eric has a long list of reasons to steer clear of the woman he has wanted for as long as he can remember. For one, he refuses to be her next thrill ride. When he claims her, it will be for good. But the attraction is undeniable, and the more they fight it, the stronger it pulls. But will it be enough to conquer their obstacles?

A North Korean ICBM crashes into the Sea of Japan. A veteran CIA officer is murdered in Ho Chi Minh City, and a package of forged documents goes missing. The pieces are there, but assembling the puzzle will cost Jack Ryan, Jr. and his fellow Campus agents precious time. Time they don’t have. The challenge facing President Jack Ryan is an old one with a terrifying new twist. The international stalemate with North Korea continues into its seventh decade. A young, untested dictator is determined to prove his strength by breaking the deadlock. Like his father before him, he hangs his plans on the country’s nuclear ambitions. Until now, that program was impeded by a lack of resources. However, there has been a dramatic change in the nation’s economic fortune. A rich deposit of valuable minerals have been found in the Hermit Kingdom. Coupled with their nuclear capabilities, the money from this find will make North Korea a dangerous force on the world stage. There’s just one more step needed to complete this perfect plan…the elimination of the president of the United States. ### Review LOCKED ON “Hard to put down” \-- *Pittsburgh Post-Gazette* “The action scenes alone come across beautifully, as visual as anything on a movie screen, with the added enticement of crisp, accurate and hard-driving prose.” \-- *Orlando Sentinel* THREAT VECTOR “Each plotline comes to us mainly in a series of tightly written action scenes...as visual as anything on a movie screen, with the added enticement of crisp, accurate and hard driving prose.”— *Chicago Tribune* “Hard to put down.”— *Pittsburgh Post-Gazette* COMMAND AUTHORITY “Once again, the acrid scent of cordite wafted through my imagination during the climactic gun battle as Clancy’s characters from the world of intelligence achieved yet another victory over the forces of evil.” — *The Washington Times* “Vintage Clancy.” \-- *Kirkus Reviews* ### About the Author **Tom Clancy** was the author of eighteen #1 *New York Times* -bestselling novels.

Dear reader: I've been hearing from many of you that you'd like to see more books that entertain the way my Stephanie Plum novels do. So my good friend, Charlotte Hughes, and I teamed up to bring you a brand-new series of books. These new books are not set in the world of Plum, but they are written in the Plum tradition with fast-paced action, dysfunctional loveable characters, steamy sex, suspense and lots of laughs. The series is kicked off by Full House, a slightly off-center love story about a devious man, an uncooperative woman, and a misguided genius. I wrote and published the original Full House in 1989 under the name Steffie Hall. I thought it was a fun book at the time, but Charlotte and I have made it bigger and better. In Full House, Nick Kaharchek senses danger the minute he sees Billie Pearce. She represents everything he's always avoided.Ý Happy in her home life, a divorced mother of two, Billie is the epitome of stability. She's also irresistibly fascinating to the footloose Kaharchek… in a car crash sort of way. Their fateful meeting leads to a story filled with seduction and mayhem and love everlasting. Charlotte and I hope you enjoy this first romantic adventure, and look forward to many more. Janet & Charlotte

An anthology of stories Move over, vampires. Make room for the hottest creatures in fantasy: werewolves. Most people think werewolves are creatures of ancient legend, associated with prowling darkened forests and terrifying peasants in medieval cottages. But what about today's werewolf in modern society? Has twenty-first century life changed the rules and lifestyles of the contemporary lycanthrope? Are wolf packs communicating online via social networks? Could the person who at first glance looks like an average commuter (on the early train, to avoid the rising of the full moon) be one of them? Have werewolves infiltrated every level of government? Full Moon City answers these questions, and many more. Featuring contributions from bestselling fantasy luminaries, this collection of spellbinding stories puts the fun back into dark fiction

In this exciting debut, author Keri Arthur explodes onto the supernatural scene with a sexy, sensuous tale of intrigue and suspense set in a world where legends walk and the shady paths of the underworld are far more sinister than anyone envisioned. A rare hybrid of vampire and werewolf, Riley Jenson and her twin brother, Rhoan, work for Melbourne's Directorate of Other Races, an organization created to police the supernatural races-and protect humans from their depredations. While Rhoan is an exalted guardian, a.k.a. assassin, Riley is merely an office worker-until her brother goes missing on one of his missions. The timing couldn't be worse. More werewolf than vampire, Riley is vulnerable to the moon heat, the weeklong period before the full moon, when her need to mate becomes all-consuming.… Luckily Riley has two willing partners to satisfy her every need.

Dear reader: Welcome to the world of Jamie Swift and Max Holt! My good friend Charlotte and I have teamed up to create a series of books featuring these two characters, and they taken on a life of their own! These books are not set in the same world as my Stephanie plum novels, but what they have in common are lovable, dysfunctional characters, villains you love to hate, and a cross-eyed way of looking at life. Jamie and Max have intense chemistry- even though they drive each other crazy. Max thinks Jamie is a magnet for trouble and Jamie thinks Max is the most annoyingly sexy, mysterious man she's ever met. She knows she should stay away from him. But boy, oh boy, do the sparks fly when they get together. Jamie is a newspaper owner from a small southern town. And in FULL SPEED, she's after the story of a lifetime. Max Holt is right in the middle of that story, and so Jamie tracks down the millionaire playboy, forcing him to take her on as his partner. What follows is a story of a corrupt minister, a gang of mobsters on the loose, a hound dog called Fleas, a wise-cracking computer genius, and lots of love in the fast lane. Not to mention plenty of steamy action between Jamie and Max. So have fun with FULL SPEED. We're going to sign off now and get back to creating more romantic adventure between Jamie Swift and Max Holt. Enjoy and happy reading! Janet & Charlotte
