A fallen regime. A missing child. A chance at freedom.By the #1 New
York Times bestselling author of Divergent, Poster Girl is a
haunting adult dystopian mystery that explores the expanding role
of surveillance on society - an inescapable reality that we welcome
all too easily. WHAT'S RIGHT IS RIGHT. Sonya Kantor knows this
slogan - she lived by it for most of her life.For decades, everyone
in the Seattle-Portland megalopolis lived under it, as well as
constant surveillance in the form of the Insight, an ocular implant
that tracked every word and every action, rewarding or punishing by
a rigid moral code set forth by the Delegation. Then there was a
revolution. The Delegation fell.Its most valuable members were
locked in the Aperture, a prison on the outskirts of the city. And
everyone else, now free from the Insight's monitoring, went on with
their lives. Sonya, former poster girl for the Delegation, has been
imprisoned for ten years when an old enemy comes to her with a
deal: find a missing girl who was stolen from her parents by the
old regime, and earn her freedom.The path Sonya takes to find the
child will lead her through an unfamiliar, crooked post-Delegation
world where she finds herself digging deeper into the past - and
her family's dark secrets - than she ever wanted to. Praise for

V treťom diely série OUTLANDER sa dozvedáme, že Jamiemu Fraserovi
sa ani pri všetkej snahe nepodarilo zahynúť na bojisku pri
Cullodene. Nie je z toho nadšený. V dvadsiatom storočí je Claire
síce šokovaná z odhalenia, že Jamie prežil, ale rovnako je aj
nadšená. Spoznávame Jamieho príbeh, ako postupne plynie, keď sa
pokúša pozliepať život z čiastočiek svojej duše aj svojej krajiny,
ktoré zostali, a z Clairinho krátkeho opisu spoznáme uplynulých
dvadsať rokov po tom, čo ho opustila v Cullodene. Roger MacKenzie a
Brianna (Clairina a Jamieho dcéra) si k sebe nachádzajú cestu počas
spoločného pátrania útržkami minulosti a tvrdošijne hľadajú stopy
po Jamiem Fraserovi. Dokážu ho nájsť? A ak sa im to podarí, vráti
sa Claire k nemu? A ak sa vráti... čo bude potom? Úprimne? Asi by
bolo jednoduchšie opísať, čo sa nestalo, ako to, čo sa stalo.
Príbeh plynie od duchov Samhainu v Škótskej Vysočine až k uliciam a
nevestincom Edinburghu, k šírošírym diaľavám na mori a
dobrodružstvám v Západnej Indii. Kníhtlač, vlastizrada, vražda,
vúdú, čínsky fetišizmus nôh, únos, korytnačia polievka a mnoho
iného. Ale za tým všetkým stojí jediná Jamieho otázka: „Sassenach,
prijmeš ma takého, aký som, a riskneš všetko pre muža, ktorého si
kedysi poznala?“
