Krátky popis
Aurora Award Finalist.The Builders had made the House generations ago, to shelter the remnants of humanity from the poisons of the Outside. The Inners, the direct descendants of the Builders, now rule the House. The House protects the People, and the Inners protect the House. And Smoothers are the arms and legs of that protection. Big G is a Smoother, ensuring that the daily activities of the House are not interrupted by "Harveys," citizens who suffer violent mental breakdowns in the claustrophobic House. But when Big G discovers a strange photograph of blue and white swirls of nothingness during a Harvey call, it leads him to world within the world he thought he knew—and a world outside it as well."I first read this story in a workshop nearly a decade ago. Since then, Doug sold it to a number of different markets and it was a finalist for Canada’s prestigious Aurora Award. Now it’s out in e-book format. I read a lot, as you can tell, and I don’t remember most stories the next day, let alone decades later. The images and the power of the story have stayed with me all this time. That’s one of the strongest recommendations I can give."—Kristine Kathryn Rusch, Recommended Reading List, Aug 2011"Hands down, my favourite story … I’ve always been fascinated by the concept of a city that encompasses what we know of the known world. … Smith’s version, the ‘House,’ is well conceived, but as always, it’s his characters that drive the story. Big G is pitch perfect. Every aspect of his personality is just spot on. Though he’s not a completely accessible character, portrayed as being not as intelligent as a more usual protagonist, he is completely there and three-dimensional and his reactions and motivations are plausible. It works! The ending is just right. It couldn’t have been any other way..." —SF Crowsnest Reviews"Going Harvey in the Big House" fed into my natural fears, suspicions, and all-round disillusionment with authority. Thereafter, I began an inquiry. I read Orwell’s 1984, Atwood’s The Handmaid’s Tale, Bradbury’s Fahrenheit 451, Zamyatin’s We, Huxley’s Brave New World… "Going Harvey in the Big House" led me to places I thought I’d never be, culminating eventually in sweat-soaked nightmares about a post-apocalyptic world." —Cicada

Kráľovstvo z popola (Trón zo skla 7)
Dlhoočakávané finále jednej z najúspešnejších fantasy sérií, závislosti, ktorej prepadli čitatelia po celom svete, Trón zo skla! Aelin Galathynius sa zaprisahala, že zachráni svoj ľud, aj keď cena, ktorú za to treba zaplatiť, je nepredstaviteľne vysoká. Keď ju kráľovná férov Maeve uväzní v starodávnej železnej truhle a niekoľko mesiacov mučí, jedinou nádejou na prežitie je len Aelinina ohnivá vôľa a strašná istota, že ak ju Maeve zlomí, bude to znamenať skazu pre jej milovaných. S každým ďalším dňom však jej pevné odhodlanie nepoddať sa čoraz viac slabne... Kým je Aelin v zajatí, jej priateľov a spojencov osud zaveje na všetky svetové strany. Niektoré putá sa posilnia, iné sa spretŕhajú naveky. A keď sa ich cesty znovu spoja, všetci musia bojovať, ak Erilea nemá padnúť. V napínavom záverečnom diele svetového bestselleru od Sarah J. Maas bude musieť Aelin zviesť posledný, najťažší boj pre záchranu seba samej – a pre prísľub lepšieho sveta.
